I made a mistake in that I was testing "GPS Logger" today.

I hiked about 6 miles today using GPS Logger for Android
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mendhak.gpslogger

I then loaded the GPX file into GPX Viewer by Vectura Games:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vecturagames.android.app.gpxviewer

Other than an anomaly of a strange far-out-of-range datapoint, the GPS
Logger app successfully saved the track as a GPX file onto my phone storage
media.

Because of that way-off datapoint, all the GPS Logger (distance, elevation,
speed, etc.) stats were wrong, but Map My Hike displayed the given
elevation, speed, time, and distance on a chart (which is a requirement to
replace Google MyTracks).

GPX Viewer, by Vectura Games loaded the previously saved GPX file from GPS
Logger, and nicely displayed the track on a choice of typical Google maps
such as road view, satellite view, and topographical view.

This is a good start as it's the best solution tested so far to reproduce
what we had with Google MyTracks, but it's still not even close as MyTracks
displayed the track in real time on an offline map, while this track
display is not in real time and is only working online (so far).

So tomorrow I will test out the app suggested by Adrian, which was next on
my FIFO list.
