GPS Tracks Reviews

Still Great app

Matt 26

After several years, I'm still delighted with this app and the improvements have all been very welcome. I still have a complaint about the fact that waypoints Unrelated to a track get exported along with the track but I can always delete them and it's not a major problem. I have one minor request. Could you add a “delete all” instruction to the waypoint menu? It would help me keep a clean slate and avoid saving temporary waypoints I had a forgotten about. Thank you for your hard work and I really appreciate it

GPS Tracks is a first-class application. It is as near to an ideal tracking application as you can get. It’s interface and interaction to the Apple workout application is flawless. Not only does it accurately track from Apple Watch, you can view the full set of metrics - altitude, location at time, traversal speed &c. The capability of determining traversal distance via road and point to point over the landscape is greatly appreciated and useful for predicting both tracking and driving times. The point to point distance calculation is the workaround for the annoying bug noted below. Bug: the scale bar only displays Imperial units defeating the scale bar’s purpose. The scale bar which is optionally displayed on the map is supposed to provide a quick look to get an idea of how far apart various features are. Having no intuitive feel how far some fractional mileage is (Quickly, how far is 0.125 miles?) the scale bar has limited utility. The workaround is to do a distance calculation as noted above to discover that some point is 200m away or whatever. An excellent, but less capable competitive product, Guru Maps Pro consistently displays a proper scale bar. An alternative for small scale is to display the MGRS grid. The grid has a 10km spacing which is fine for small scales but not good for tracking. A suggestion for the developer may to be to allow the user to elect the grid density. When in the bush, a 100x100m grid would have utility. When in open terrain, 1000x1000m would be appropriate. (Most raster topographic maps do have the 1000x1000 MGRS overlay Which is another workaround.) As a result, I use GPS Tracks Pro and Guru Maps Pro lot as complementary applications! Watch out - not a fault of this application, or anything else, it is the way it is. When traveling in countries that do not use Latin scripting (Thailand, Myanmar) be sure to get as many way-points as possible before leaving, or install a custom map that displays locations in English, Spanish &c. Open Street Map (OSM) and others display in local scripting, as a result Thai and Burmese maps can be difficult to read! Keep up the good work, fix the scale bar and get 5 stars.

Great tracker/used it on vacation

Went to New York summer of 2019 with my family. Used it to track where and what we saw each day. It tracks your path, plus you can take photos along the way with comments. Love looking at places we’ve been. Plus wow, my feet really hurt, made sense when I went back and saw how many miles we walked (included average speed).
