## What is Map My Tracks?

Your life outdoors, remembered.

Map My Tracks records every walk, hike, ride and run, keeps every one, and brings them back to you: the places you keep returning to, the day out from a year ago, and your whole year told back each December.

Map My Tracks is in its 20th year, and more than a million people have joined.

RECORDED
• Walks, hikes, rides, runs and over 30 more, from kayaking to snowshoeing
• Distance, time, height and climb as you go, with automatic pause when you stop
• Heart rate, speed, cadence and power from Bluetooth sensors, with their charts, included
• On the Lock Screen and Apple Watch as you go, with Siri and a Record button in Control Center
• Follow a route, kept on your phone so it works with no signal
• Afterwards: splits, climbs and breaks, and laps, with charts of your heart rate, power and zones, and whether a long ride held up

KEPT
• Your phone never deletes an outing, and your account keeps its date, distance and time for good
• Bring your history from Garmin Connect, Wahoo, Coros, Polar, Fitbit, Hammerhead or Apple Health
• Open GPX, TCX, FIT, KML and KMZ files from other apps, as an activity or a route

REMEMBERED
• Your heat map, with PLUS: everywhere you've ever ventured, glowing brightest where you go most
• Each outing says how many times you've been there before: "9 times here"
• Outings worth remembering come back on Home, in a widget, and in a 9 am note if you like
• Your year in review each December: your months, your places and a map of your year
• Your last 12 months of outings on one map, free

FOUND, WITH AI
• Ask your map in your own words, like "my hikes in Colorado last summer" (PLUS)
• Sum up any area: the story of your outings there (PLUS)
• Activity Insights after every outing (PLUS)
• A note for each outing and captions for your photos, suggested for you to keep or change
• Trips named from the signs in your photos, and your timeline to find any outing

MAPS AND ROUTES
• OpenStreetMap, with trails and paths, free
• With PLUS: USGS Topo for the US, and national maps for Britain, Switzerland, Spain, Norway, Finland and Denmark
• Plan a route on mapmytracks.com and follow it in the app

TOGETHER
• Share a picture of your day: your route, photos and figures
• Live tracking, so family and friends can follow along (PLUS)
• Follow friends, like and comment

MAP MY TRACKS PLUS
Sensors and charts come with this app. PLUS unlocks everything marked PLUS above, first month free, and adds:
• Every year on your map, and every map style from satellite to cycle paths
• Weather and wind on every outing
• Leaderboards, unlimited goals, trimming, Collections, all your photos and your own share pictures

PLUS is $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year, first month free (US prices; the App Store shows yours before you buy). Payment is taken from your Apple Account when you confirm, or when the free month ends. PLUS renews automatically, and is charged in the 24 hours before each period ends, unless you turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings; you keep PLUS to the end of the period you've paid for. Choosing the yearly plan ends a free month.

APPLE HEALTH (optional)
Save your activities to the Health app, and bring in your workouts, their routes, heart rate and weight.

Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Map My Tracks is designed to limit battery use: it rests the GPS when you pause, and holds back syncing in Low Power Mode.

### 5/5 — Sehr gute App zum Wandern

*2024-09-10*

Die App gefällt mir sehr gut. Gerade in den Bergen liefert sie zuverlässige Angaben zur Höhe, Auf- & Abstieg. 
Empfehlung!

### 5/5 — Wurk gud

*2024-05-01, version 5.12.1*

Caveman like

### 2/5 — Leider Abzocke… in der App muss extra gezahlt werden

*2023-04-04*

Wer denkt, dass er mit dem Kaufpreis hier im App-Store eine Vollversion erwirbt, der irrt. Es sind noch einmal 39,99 zusätzlich fällig um alles nutzen zu können. 
Ich bewerte die App daher als bewusste Irreführung und Betrug. Apple sollte sie entfernen. 

Zu den limitierten Funktionen, die es anderswo umsonst gibt, es ist ein einfaches Anzeigen von bisher erledigten Tracks. Mehr nicht, alles weitere kostet eben rund 40euro pro Jahe zzgl. der Rund 5 Euro.

### 5/5 — Demande de remboursement

*2023-01-21*

Bonjour je viens de payer 4,99 euros pour l’application qui ne fonctionne pas. Je demande donc le remboursement. J’avais cette application sur mon ancien iPhone qui fonctionnait très bien mais sur le 14 pro impossible de l’activer. Merci de bien vouloir me rembourser cette achat.

### 4/5 — Good app

*2022-05-18, version 5.7.2*

### 1/5 — Sometimes yes most times no

*2021-12-18, version 5.7.2*

 Need a new app

### 5/5 — Fab
