What's New in myTracks

9.4.2

September 6, 2026

New in myTracks 9.4.2: - The "offline" switch for OpenStreetMap maps has been removed because it was not working. Please note, however, that offline maps continue to work as expected. New in myTracks 9.4.1: - Bug fix: The camera view was incorrect in landscape mode. New in myTracks 9.4.0: - The size of the main buttons can be configured. New in myTracks 9.3.0: - When both a standard recording and navigation are active, tapping the cockpit view or the navigation view allows you to cycle through these different views. This makes operation easier, for example, while cycling. - New Shortcuts actions: "Create Waypoints" and "Check Current Recording Status." - Bug fix: Profiles were displaying only metric values, even when settings such as "miles" were selected. New in myTracks 9.2.3: - Minor improvements New in myTracks 9.2.2: - Bug fix: During short-term recording, the recording did not always stop. - The 'Background Location Indicator' (blue arrow) has been enabled. New in myTracks 9.2.1: - The app's appearance can now be configured in the app's settings, rather than as part of the map settings. - Several additional bug fixes. New in myTracks 9.2.0: - "Select All" feature in track list - Localization: Simplified Chinese - Several additional bug fixes. New in myTracks 9.1.0: - On OpenStreetMap you can add additional layers from external sources. - Cockpit View: New view displaying only speed, altitude, and distance - Cockpit View: Improved support for iPhone in landscape mode - Bug Fix: In Diary Mode, myTracks consumed excessive battery power on some devices. - Bug Fix: Setting waypoints for diary recording did not work. - Several additional bug fixes. New in myTracks 9.0.0: - Redesign of the app according to the Liquid Glass principle. - Track search: You can now search for tracks in the track list. To do so, drag the track list slightly downwards, and a search field will appear. Entering a search string recursively searches all subfolders for tracks with a matching name. - Improved import of waypoints in GPX files - Configurable waypoint display on the map - Configurable width and color of route sections during navigation - Support for "Shortcuts" has been revised.

User reviews

Just one issue: offline maps

This is an extremely well thought through app with a clean UI. Some most useful features include a diary/journal mode which is perfect for worry-free geotagging photos with minimal penalty on battery and storage, as well as a clever short recording mode. However, the offline maps are raster type as explained in QA. I wasn’t able to make them work. Any attempt to zoom makes the map disappear and only hill shades are displayed at best. Is there a way to use a different (paid?) server for vector OS offline maps - for those who value this capability and are willing to pay a premium? Currently, I have to keep AllTrails/Komoot as a backup for offline use.

Funktion als Gruppe

Wäre klasse wenn man sich mit Freunden verbinden kann und sieht wo man gerade ist.

Speed graph freeze

When you pause the speed should go to zero, but clearly the app pauses all updates until it detects movement and so the graph sticks at whatever the speed was immediately prior to stopping.

Response from developer

Hi. The problem with the display in km/h has been fixed in one of the latest updates.

Works good for garbage men

I use this app to keep track of my garbage routes. I pull it up side by side with the paper route map I’m given to see what streets I’ve finished / still need to go down. Works great for that

Darstellung

Die Darstellung der App mit den Funktinstasten rechts und unten links finde ich übertrieben groß. Sie nehmen zuviel von der eigentlichen wichtigen Ansicht weg. Bitte alle Tasten wieder unten anbringen, gerne auch so klein als möglich. So würden sich auch shortcuts schöner machen. Sonst finde ich sie für meine Dokumentation optimal.
