Trip Tracker
Local-only GPS trip recorder.
A free, local-only GPS trip recorder. Tap Start new trip, pocket your phone, and Trip Tracker logs your route, walks, drives, hikes, rides, then exports a clean GPX file. Recorded and stored on your phone, nowhere else.
How it works
Tap Start new trip. Trip Tracker logs your route in the background while you walk, drive, hike, or ride. Stop when you're done, your trip lands in the list, drawn on an Apple Map, ready to share as a GPX file you can keep, load into another map app, or hand off.
Nothing goes to a server. Trips live in files on your phone. Export only happens when you tap Share.
