Made for the journey

The essentials, in one place.

01 / MEASURE

Speed at a glance.

Choose km/h, mph or knots. See the location quality alongside the reading, so you know when the phone has a usable fix.

02 / RECORD

Keep your routes.

Start, pause and finish a recording. Review your history, export GPX routes and transfer recordings with ZIP backups.

03 / EXPLORE

Maps that travel.

Download an area when you choose to enable network maps. Completed offline maps stay available without a connection.

Help & support

A clearer fix. A simpler answer.

Why does the speed stay at 0.0?

“No speed fix” means the phone has not supplied a fresh usable speed reading. In iOS Settings, enable Location Services and Precise Location for GPS Speed. Test outdoors with a clear view of the sky and allow a few minutes for a fix. Indoor walking can activate motion sensors without providing reliable GPS speed.

Do I need to start a recording to see speed?

No. Speed measurement runs while the app is open and location access is allowed. Start recording saves your journey and enables recording while the screen is locked. Pause or Finish stops background recording. Force-quitting interrupts a recording; reopen the app to recover the saved session.

How do offline maps work?

Network maps are initially off. Enable them in Settings to view online maps or download a selected area. Map providers receive network information and requests for that area. Completed downloads selected in Maps → Saved areas work locally after network maps are switched off.

How do I export or delete my recordings?

Export a route as GPX or your complete history as ZIP. Imports validate files before merging and skip recordings already present. Delete recordings in History and maps in Saved areas. Settings can clear temporary export copies without deleting recordings. Copies shared elsewhere and earlier Apple backups are managed separately.

What does the Flight screen measure?

GPS ground speed differs from airspeed. Outside pressure and temperature are standard-atmosphere estimates from fresh altitude. A supported phone barometer measures pressure around the phone, including cabin pressure. These values are informational and are not certified flight instruments.

Is the app free, and where is my data stored?

All app features are free, with no ads, subscription or in-app purchase. Your recordings are stored on your device. Optional network maps contact third-party map services. Read the privacy policy for the details.
