More specifically, they are using SQLite to store GPS data:
The normal place to save gps data like this is in a .gpx file as a track.

I agree with Kristopher, GPS eats up battery energy quickly and you have to
be careful using GPS in an app to avoid exhausting the user's battery.
We've done extensive work to come up with some dynamic GPS sampling
strategies that increase battery life because of this reason. Check out
Aside from that, I'd be pretty weary of the security of any app that
was constantly tracking me for hours straight.
The *only* situation where I see this making sense is when I go out
for a day of hiking or something, and even then I don't want anything
