I have used Endomondo, MyTracks, Strava and Mapmyride. All work well. All but one of them, and I forget which one, uploaded the data immediately when you stop recording. The bandwidth was killing me, so I got a Garmin Edge 500, and upload via USB on my desk top, and have gone back to a lower data plan on my cell service. Unless you are unlike me, a data whale that would have unlimited data anyway, the Garmin will pay for itself in a few months of tracking daily commutes. If you are not recording daily, Strava and MyTraks were my favorites. I save all my Garmin stuff to Strava.
I don't really need a map as Germany isn't that large (maybe the size of Texas.)

That's one of my issues. I pay for data by the MB because I refuse to have a data plan. What I really need is software that will record GPS data that I can look at and upload at a later date manually. I assume that some software does this. I also assume that I can upload to an account at a later date.

As far as not needing a map because it's only the size of Texas, can we just drop you off in the middle of Texas sans carte and see how you do?
Cheers,

p.s. I personally cache the area I'm going to be in Google maps because even though I do have a data plan, I don't always have good signal. It's very useful to be able to look at a map and figure out where you are and how to get home...

I know I lived in Texas for 7 years (and owned a huge house.)
To be honest, it's impossible to get lost over here due to the high population density and super precise ubiquitous signage (especially on bike routes.) In Texas, I could get lost in a car quite easily before GPS.

That's what I do with OsmAnd - it's good for offline cycle maps of the regions I travel in.

Agreed. Quite hard on the battery, but very good for the chores of offline maps (especially cycle maps from https://www.opencyclemap.org/), navigation, or finding points of interest.
