## What is Road Trip Replay?

Road Trip Replay records your drives as GPS routes you can relive, share, and export - all stored privately on your device. Works on iPhone and iPad.

Record
Start a trip with one tap, or tell Siri to start recording hands-free. Choose the level of detail that suits the journey: Normal for everyday drives, High Detail for twisty roads and city streets, or Track Mode for track days and lap analysis. The app records in the background even when your phone is locked, and a Live Activity on your Lock Screen shows your distance in real time as you drive.

A GPS status indicator on the home screen shows your signal quality at a glance, from "Excellent" to "No fix", before and during every trip.

Replay
Watch your route come to life on an animated map, with the road revealing itself as a marker travels your exact path. Speed up or slow down playback, scrub to any point, and see photos you took along the way pinned to the map at the moment you took them.

Explore your stats
Every trip shows a full breakdown - distance, moving time, stops, top speed, moving average, total climb and descent, and highest and lowest points. All calculated on-device from your GPS data, with nothing sent to any server.

Export and share
Share your route as a video - portrait or landscape, up to 30 seconds, in Standard or High Quality - and post it directly to Instagram, TikTok, or anywhere else. Choose exactly which photos from along the route appear in it, with your favourites suggested first. Or export as a GPX file to import at RoadTripReplay.com for an interactive replay, speed heatmap, and a shareable link anyone can view without the app.

Send a trip to a friend with AirDrop. When they open the GPX file, it imports straight into their Road Trip Replay.

Track Mode
Built for track days, Track Mode captures every GPS update, about once a second, and starts recording the moment a position is available, with no waiting for a perfect fix. It keeps your screen awake while recording and saves accuracy details with every point, so you get the best data your phone can provide. Export the GPX and load it at RoadTripReplay.com to analyse your laps, sectors and corner speeds. Track Mode uses more battery, so plug in for long sessions.

Import
Bring in routes recorded elsewhere - GPX files, CSV logs, Vantrue dashcam GPS logs, dashcam subtitle exports, and raw NMEA GPS logs are all supported. Open a file from Files, Mail or AirDrop, or import from Settings. Your trips appear in Past Trips, ready to replay, export, and explore.

iCloud backup
Your trips are automatically backed up to your private iCloud account, with the option to turn this off in Settings if you'd rather keep trips on this device only. If you get a new phone, your trips restore themselves the first time you open the app.

Privacy
Everything is stored locally on your device and in your own private iCloud. Nothing is uploaded to Road Trip Replay's servers automatically - your data stays yours.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7 — 2026-10-07

What's New in 1.7

Track Mode
A new recording mode for track days and lap analysis. It captures every GPS update, about once a second, starts as soon as a position is available, and keeps your screen awake while recording. Each point is saved with its accuracy details, so you can analyse laps, sectors and corner speeds at RoadTripReplay.com. Track Mode uses more battery, so plug in for long sessions.

GPS status indicator
The home screen now shows your GPS signal quality, from "Excellent" to "No fix", before and during every trip.

Recording modes
Choose between Normal (the new name for Balanced), High Detail and Track Mode when you start a trip. Existing trips are unchanged.

AirDrop and file import
Open a GPX route from AirDrop, Files or Mail and it imports straight into Road Trip Replay, ready to replay, export and share.

iPad support
Road Trip Replay now runs on iPad.

Improvements and fixes

Fixed Siri sometimes asking for location access you'd already granted when starting a trip hands-free.
Behind-the-scenes improvements to import speed and stability.

### 1.6 — 2026-09-21

What's New in 1.6

You can how choose which photos from your camera roll appear in your exported videos — pick your favourites from along the route

Import routes from more sources, not just GPX: CSV files, Vantrue dashcam logs (.dat), dashcam subtitle exports (.srt), and raw NMEA GPS logs (.gps/.nmea)

See an example trip the first time you open the app, so there's something to explore right away

An option to turn off iCloud backups in Settings if you'd rather keep trips on your device only

Option to sign up for our mailing list from Settings

Minor interface and functionality tweaks and enhancements

### 1.5.1 — 2026-09-08

Live map while recording — watch your route draw itself in real time, with distance and point count on screen, without stopping the recording.

Auto-pause when stationary — recording now pauses itself after 5 minutes of no movement and resumes the moment you're off again, perfect for hotel stops on multi-day trips.

Send to RoadTripReplay.com — upload directly from the trip screen and get a shareable link instantly, no app required for the people you send it to.

Privacy trim for shared exports — optionally trim the start and/or end of your route (100m–5km) when sharing a GPX or video, so trips that start or end at home stay private. Playback in the app is never affected.

Various UI tweaks and improvements.

### 1.4 — 2026-09-07

Selective iCloud restore — choose which backed-up trips to download to this device, or delete them from iCloud directly
Sort trips by date, distance, or name
Improved swipe to delete — confirmation required before removing a trip
Lock screen activity improvements
Force-quit recovery — if the app is closed mid-recording, the trip is saved as "(incomplete)" and recoverable
Multi-select delete on the trip list
Lots of minor UI tweaks

### 1.3 — 2026-09-03

What's New in Version 1.3

Photos on your route — Road Trip Replay finds photos you took during a trip and pins them along the route. They appear as you play back your journey, and you can tap any pin to view the full image.

Richer trip stats — each trip now shows top speed, moving average speed, total climb and descent, highest and lowest points, moving time, stopped time, and number of stops — all calculated on-device from your GPS data.

Higher quality video export — a new High Quality export option renders at 1440×2560 with a higher bitrate for sharper map detail and text, and is now the default.

iCloud backup — your trips are automatically backed up to your private iCloud account. Install the app on a new device and your trips restore automatically.

Performance improvements — faster loading throughout, especially for long trips with large numbers of GPS points.
