## What is Pathpin?

One photo, one tap, and your field note is done.
Each shot gets the location, time and a number and a pin on the map, and the path you walk becomes a line. Export it all for Google My Maps, spreadsheets, or any hiking or map app that accepts GPX.

WHO IT'S FOR
• On-site work: site visits, field surveys, facility inspections, property viewings
• Travel, hikes and city walks you want to keep on a map

HOW IT WORKS
1. Tap the camera button and shoot. The location, time and a number are added automatically.
2. Add a title and memo. Quick types like "Restroom" or "Parking" (or your own) fill in a numbered title, and a memo template per type pre-fills the items you note every time.
3. Tap "Walk" and put your phone in your pocket. Even with the screen off, your path is drawn as a yellow line.
4. Export as KML, GPX or CSV, or all 3 in one ZIP. "Records + photos" adds the original photos.

KEY FEATURES
• Every shot is an entry: photo, coordinates, time, number, title and memo together
• Several photos per entry · add photos from your album
• One outing is one trip, with entries numbered in the order you shoot
• Export: KML (Google My Maps, Google Earth) · GPX (hiking and GPS apps) · CSV (spreadsheets) · ZIP (all 3) · Records + photos (files and original photos in one ZIP)
• Import: Pathpin files (ZIP, GPX, KML, CSV) from a colleague open as a trip; GPX courses from other apps show as a blue dashed planned route.
• Connect pins: no walk recorded? Join your pins with a line (on/off per trip)
• Trail map: hiking trails and contour lines. Areas you zoom in on stay on the phone for 30 days and show without internet.
• Draw route (free): sketch a planned route. Saving its trail map in advance needs a subscription after the free trial.
• Elevation: ascent, descent, highest point and a graph for each walk (approximate)
• Trip sticker: your track, entries and dates as a transparent sticker in 3 styles. Save to Photos or share.
• Photos go to the "Pathpin" album in the Photos app and stay even if you delete the app.
• Map images load only for display or when you save a trail map. Nothing sends your coordinates anywhere.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Many apps record only a track, or only stamp coordinates on photos. Pathpin ties photos, coordinates, notes, numbers and your track together and exports them as files: shoot on site, sort it out at your desk. Built from more than two years of visiting tourist sites, parks, walking paths and hiking trails in person.

PRIVACY
• No server, no sign-up. Everything you record is stored only on this phone.
• Location is used only to show where you are and to record where you shoot and walk. We don't share it or use it for ads.

FREE TRIAL AND SUBSCRIPTION
• Free for 3 days from first launch, with no card required. Nothing is charged automatically afterward.
• After that, a subscription is needed to start a new trip, continue a finished trip, add photos to existing entries, or save a trail map for a route.
• Viewing, editing, exporting and deleting what you've recorded is always free.
• Subscriptions: 1 month · 6 months · 1 year, auto-renewing (prices shown in your local currency; plans on sale may vary by country)
• Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the next period begins. To cancel, go to Settings → your name → Subscriptions.

PERMISSIONS
• Location (while using the app): for pins and the path you walk, also with the screen off while "Walk" is on
• Camera: to take entry photos
• Photos: to save to the "Pathpin" album and show them again
• Notifications (optional): to remind you before a subscription renews

GOOD TO KNOW
• Walk recording starts from the app screen. Swiping the app away to close it completely stops recording.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 0.8.0 — 2026-11-12

Version 0.8.0
• Draw route: tap the pencil below the compass on the map screen, then tap the map to sketch the way you plan to go. The map switches to the Trail map while you draw, and your route is saved as a new trip with a blue dashed line. Always free.
• Save the trail map for this route: on a trip with a blue dashed planned route (drawn or imported), save the trail map around it in advance and see it for 30 days in the mountains, even with no internet (a subscription is needed after the free trial).
• Elevation: expand the "Walk" row of a trip to see ascent, descent, the highest point and an elevation graph (approximate, measured by GPS).
• Your walked track is now a yellow line, easier to see on the Trail and Satellite maps.
• Hide or show the blue dashed line with "Hide dashed line" / "Show dashed line".
• Trail map images are now deleted when the app starts once they are more than 30 days old (the storage period agreed with the map company; they load again when you're online).
• The Terms of Use and Privacy Policy changed on November 10, 2026, to cover "Draw route" and "Save the trail map for this route". This update doesn't reduce your rights or add to your obligations for features you already use. You can read them at the bottom of Settings.
