What's New in GeoCorder

2.0

October 12, 2026

Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite, seventeen years after 1.0. Everything you used GeoCorder for still works the way it did: press record, and get a GPX file with time stamps. Around that, almost everything is new. RECORDING • Every fix is stored with GPS altitude, barometric altitude, speed, course and its horizontal and vertical accuracy. • Activities are detected automatically: walking, running, cycling and driving are told apart by the motion coprocessor, the track is labelled when you stop, and mixed outings show their legs on a strip. Older tracks and imports can be tagged from the last seven days of history. • Mark spots along the way with a name and note; they become GPX waypoints. • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island shows distance, time and climb while you record. • Recording survives the app being killed: the track is recovered on the next launch. • The accuracy graph is back, one mark per fix, so you can see when GPS is guessing. • The place you are at and the current weather are shown as you record, and saved with the track. YOUR TRACKS • A library with a drawing of each path, search, notes and activity types. • Maps coloured by speed or elevation, statistics, an elevation profile and a speed chart with a scrubber that moves a marker on the map. • Weather along the track, hour by hour. • Import GPX files from Files, Mail or AirDrop. EXPORT • GPX 1.1 with speed, course and accuracy; KML and KMZ with a Google Earth time slider; GeoJSON; CSV. Plain, gzip or zip. • Through the share sheet: AirDrop, Files, Mail, Messages, anything that takes a file. LIVE SHARING • Send your position to your own server with a URL you write yourself (GET or POST, with placeholders), or with presets for Traccar, OwnTracks, Nextcloud PhoneTrack and Home Assistant. A send log shows what happened. ALSO • iPad layout with the library beside the map. • Metric, imperial and nautical units; decimal, degrees-minutes or DMS coordinates. • Shortcuts: start, pause, stop, send my location. • No GeoCorder account, no ads, no analytics. Optional iCloud Drive library sync. GeoCorder is now free. GeoCorder Pro — the extra export formats, compression, charts and unlimited sharing destinations — is a one-time purchase, no subscription.

Great app works with my tracks and HoudahGeo

Excellent product - almost perfect with Google Latitude

This app is always running in the backgroud on my iPhone to feed my Google Latitude account. It's one of the only product that is still recording GPS on a time basis (and I have tried a dozen of them in the past with many hours to search the right product). I give it 4 stars because it drains the battery a little faster than others I have used in the past (Place Tracker, Device Locator, Place Track).

If you could just put some effort in reducing battery consumption, this one in combination with a Google Latitude account would be perfect 5. Auto-restart when powering on the iPhone woudl also be a good addition, I want it to run all the time to tack my movements, my time at work, my time at home and my commute time to work...

Hammer!

Ich habe dieses App ausprobiert - und bin begeistert! Angeschaltet im Auto, unten auf die Konsole gelegt, gefahren, angekommen, ausgewertet. Es tut genau das, was es sagt: es zeichnet den Track auf. Und dies sehr genau. Bin voll zufrieden.

Stromsparender und genauer als die anderen GPS Tracker

Ich habe den GeoCorder jetzt über mehrere Monate getestet und mit den "großen" anderen GPS Trackern verglichen. Dabei bin ich aus zwei Gründen immer wieder zu GeoCorder zurück gekommen:

1. GeoCorder verbraucht weniger Strom als die anderen, grafisch aufwendigeren Apps. Wenn man eine Tagestour macht und das letzte Stück fehlt, weil der Akku schlappmacht, dann wiegt das schwerer als schicke Kartenfunktionen in der App und andere Sperenzchen.

2. Der .gpx Export ist besser und zwar aus zwei Gründen: zum einen weil die Dateien schon sinnvoll vorgenannt sind und nicht über einen Drittserver des Appanbieters laufen, zum anderen weil die .gpx Daten von GeoCorder mehr Information enthalten als die von anderen Apps (z.B. zur Genauigkeit der Daten, zur Höhe etc.). Da ich die Logs vor allem außerhalb der App (in GoogleEarth und in Aperture) verwende, ist die Qualität des Exports für mich besonders wichtig.

Mir ist klar, das meine Ansprüche vielleicht etwas technischer Natur sind, aber ich dachte, sie könnten für andere GPS-App Interessierte auch wichtig sein...

Yet one more thing..

A tremendous amount of functionality with this app. Little Red Riding Hood would not get lost with it! But could I have the ability to look at tracks after I store them? Maybe it's there and I missed it
