GeoCorder records where you went, keeps it as files you own, and can tell a server of your choosing where you are right now. No GeoCorder account. No ads. No analytics. Keep tracks locally or sync your library through your iCloud Drive. Export your tracks whenever you want — your tracks are your data. RECORD Press record. GeoCorder stores every position fix with its GPS altitude, barometric altitude, speed, course and accuracy, in the background, with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen. Pause and resume, mark spots with a name and a note, stop. Recording survives the app being killed. An accuracy graph shows the last minute of fixes, so you always know whether the receiver has a real GPS fix or is guessing from cell towers. Filters drop the jitter while you stand still and the jumps when GPS drops out, so the distance counts like an odometer. KEEP A library with a drawing of every path. Maps coloured by speed or elevation, statistics, elevation profile and speed chart with a scrubber, waypoints, notes, and the weather along the track hour by hour. Import GPX files recorded elsewhere. On iPad, the library sits beside the map. EXPORT GPX 1.1 with timestamps, elevation, speed, course and accuracy — everything else reads it. KML and KMZ with a Google Earth time slider. GeoJSON. CSV. Plain, gzip or zip. Through the share sheet to AirDrop, Files, Mail, Messages and any app that takes a file. FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS Took photos with a real camera? Every point carries a precise timestamp and its own accuracy, so the exported GPX geotags your RAW files in Lightroom, HoudahGeo or exiftool exactly as it always has. SHARE LIVE Send your position on a schedule to a URL you write yourself — GET or POST, JSON or form, with placeholders for every value and headers for API keys — or use the presets for Traccar, OwnTracks, Nextcloud PhoneTrack and Home Assistant. A send log shows exactly what happened. Sharing works with or without a recording. APPLE WATCH AND SIRI Leave the phone in your pocket or on the handlebar. The Apple Watch app starts, pauses and stops the recording on your iPhone, marks a waypoint where you stand, and shows time, distance and climb at a glance; a complication puts it on your watch face. Or ask Siri: "Start recording in GeoCorder", "Pause my GeoCorder track", "Save my GeoCorder track", "Send my location with GeoCorder". The same actions are in the Shortcuts app for automations of your own. ALSO Metric, imperial and nautical units. Coordinates as decimal degrees, degrees and minutes, or DMS. iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. GEOCORDER PRO Recording, the library, the map, statistics and GPX export are free. One purchase adds KML, KMZ, GeoJSON and CSV export, compression, charts and unlimited live-sharing destinations. No subscription. GeoCorder first appeared on the App Store in 2009. Version 2 is a complete rewrite with the same idea at its heart: your tracks are your data. ## Key features - Record GPS tracks with altitude, speed, and accuracy - Store tracks locally or sync via iCloud Drive - Export tracks in GPX, KML, KMZ, GeoJSON, and CSV formats - Live location sharing to custom URLs or services - Apple Watch app for recording and waypoint marking - Siri integration for recording control - Import GPX files from other sources ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: $1.99. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | GeoCorder Pro | $4.99 | one-time | ## Is GeoCorder safe?

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... ### 5/5 — Hammer! *2011-04-22* 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. ### 5/5 — Stromsparender und genauer als die anderen GPS Tracker *2011-04-10* 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... ### 4/5 — Yet one more thing.. *2011-02-02* 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 ### 5/5 — Very accurate tracker *2011-01-09* My dad owns leaflet business and I occasionally help at weekends, I have been using the breadcrumbs section of the app to track what streets i have been down and have noticed it is very accurate in recording where I have been while doing this I can periodically upload my data to my google account with ease and retrieve this information The app is very well thought out and has been a big help to me and I will continue to use this app. ### 5/5 — Polished App *2010-11-30* Worked very well to track my movements, display my path and eventually email a KML file to load in Google Earth. It would be cool to get statistics about my path, like avg. speed or total distance. ### 5/5 — Well Done! *2010-11-18* Best feature is the ability to ping a server with your current location at a set interval. Aside to that, the app very well designed and polished. ### 2/5 — Bonne idée au départ mais améliorations nécessaires *2010-02-06* Bon objectif rendu par l'appli, notamment la création d'un relevé GPX incluant la précision. Mais améliorations nécessaires : + envoi du fichier GPX en attachement par email direct (possible maintenant), sans passer par leur serveur ; + ajout d'option de fréquence des mesures, de filtrage pour ne garder que les changements de position. (inutile d'enregistrer des mesures toutes les secondes quand la sensibilité du GPS ne permet qu'une faible précision et les positions ne varient pas à ce rythme) ### 5/5 — Simple, effective *2010-01-19* This application doesn't do much, but it does what it's supposed to do well. I've used to to geocode photos (in conjunction with GPSPhotoLinker) and it works great. The interface is straightforward and the workflow is too. ## Frequently asked questions about GeoCorder ### Does GeoCorder have ads? No, GeoCorder is ad-free.

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.
