## What is TraceWay?

TraceWay records your routes with precision, so you can relive and share every journey. Whether you're hiking, cycling, running, or driving, TraceWay captures your path and exports it as a standard GPX file.


TRACK YOUR JOURNEY, LIVE

Watch your path appear on an interactive map as you move. Choose from multiple map styles and see your route build in real time. Start, pause, and resume sessions with ease — TraceWay continues recording in the background even when your screen is off.


KNOW EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE

See every detail about your current position at a glance — coordinates, altitude, speed, heading, and accuracy, all updated in real time.


LIVE SESSION METRICS

Stay on top of your session as it unfolds. TraceWay tracks and displays:
• Total distance traveled
• Elapsed time and average speed
• Maximum speed
• Total ascent and descent
• Displacement


NEVER LOSE YOUR DATA

TraceWay saves your recording in real time. If your session is unexpectedly interrupted — whether by a battery drain or an app restart — TraceWay detects it on the next launch and gives you the option to resume, save, or discard the recovered session. Your routes are always protected.


ALL YOUR TRACKS IN ONE PLACE

Every recording you've made is saved and browsable. Open any past route to see it on a map alongside a complete breakdown of statistics and track segments. Preview the raw GPX file directly in the app with built-in syntax highlighting.


GPX FILE MANAGEMENT

Export recordings to GPX — the universal format compatible with mapping tools, fitness apps, and navigation devices worldwide. Import and browse existing GPX files right in the app. TraceWay preserves every data point captured during your recording, including vertical speed, altitude details, and accuracy information.
