Why cant i find an "All in one" GPS tracker/Journal?

I searching for an app that can handle a trip that is taking several days/weeks.

Here is a list of things i want the app to do:
  1. Use Google Maps (Upload all files to a folder or so in Google Drive or Dropbox so your whole trip is in that folder) I dont want to be forced to use a closed system, i want to be able to keep my files.

  2. Photos, Videos, Sound recording and notes (Showing on Google Map if its possible, and be arranged in the travel folder in a nice way)

  3. GPS with live tracking (just give friends and family reading access to the google drive/dropbox kml file or something to open in google maps) set how often it will upload, like every: 1, 10, 30 min etc (wifi = more often) images, videos etc perhaps only on wifi (Message on map marker for the video, image, sound recording etc = Video, Image coming as soon as i got wifi, or just a simply "Video/Image Not uploaded yet").

    And when i stop recording i should be able to continue recording on the same trip, not be forced to make 50 different trips in the trip because i needed to save battery or restart the phone etc.

  4. Offline Maps (Be able to download an area or so) So i can use navigation too. And a few more small things...

Tell me an app and i tell you whats wrong with it, because so far i have tested 10-15 apps, reading about a lot more. And none of them can do this...

They used to exist. The necessary APIs for making a travelog were removed from Android a few years ago when Google added it to their web maps feature - that they later dropped. Absolutely short sighted imo.
 
What kind of necessary API's are you talking about?

Is there another way (Instead of using google drive, Google maps etc another system that is open or so i can use?) Does other phones (Non Android) and/or platforms have the most functions i want?
 
The ones to attach anything you wanted and show your route as a highlighted line, with way point markers. Tap the marker, experience the attachment.

It was way cool.

Used it myself.

I don't know, and doubt, if other platforms can do this. Windows isn't app rich and iOS isn't exactly great with their mapping functions.

Hopefully someone knows of an alternative nav app that includes this now.

The ones that had it lost it with the api change, but I haven't checked lately.
