Management summary : Navigate GPS Tracks using your Apple Watch (or your Phone if you wish). Details : You found a nice track on the internet : a walk through Rome, or an adventurous hike in a national park. You downloaded the track on your phone and started walking but... . You already carry an icecream and a digital camera in your hands, or Nordic Walking sticks, or you need your hands to climb some rocky paths. No way you can hold that iPhone all the time. At least, for us, holding our phones while citytripping became a nuisance. And when the Apple watch came out, we wanted to use the watch to guide us on our tracks. So we created TrackGuide. How does it work? 1 : Import GPX or TCX files on your phone to build a library of walks. Or just tap a breadcrumb on your phone to create one. 2 These walks are automatically synchronized with your Apple watch. 3 Select and start a walk on your watch. 4 Whenever you need directions, glance at your watch to see where you are, where you are heading to and where you sould go to. 5 Some doubts? The iPhone app can always give you more details. The app is free to use as long as you do not have to send more than 25 trackpoints to your watch. 25 points should be enough to check the watch app out. The iPhone app does not have any such limits, but you need to register if you want to create or modify walks yourself. If you like the app, you can buy the unlimited version as in in app purchase. (which is valid for future extensions to the iPhone app as wel). ## Key features - Import GPX/TCX files - Sync walks to Apple Watch - On-wrist navigation - View detailed directions on iPhone - Create custom tracks ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | TrackGuidePro | $1.99 | one-time | ## Frequently asked questions about TrackGuide ### How does TrackGuide work on Apple Watch?

The saved session includes—alongside heart rate and calorie measurements—a track of the route covered. To create sessions, simply turn on a switch in the walk details screen. Recording then begins as soon as the guidance screen is opened. If you return to the details screen during the walk, the recording is paused. If you return from there to the guidance screen, recording resumes. If you go back from the details screen to the list of walks, the recording stops. Recording also stops if you turn the switch off again. Additionally, several issues that could cause the app to crash during guidance have been resolved. These adjustments have also been implemented in the iPhone app. ### 11.1.3 — 2025-12-27 Some stability improvements on the Apple Watch app. ### 11.1.1 — 2025-09-25 Optimizations and fixes, build for iOS 26. ...and a modified icon ### 11.1.0 — 2025-06-07 The iPhone walk screen now allows you to increase the number of meters of the walk shown in steps of 50 meters. If you walk in a straight line, this is similar to zooming in or out. If you walk in concentric circles, this zooming out has no effect once the outer circle is fully visible. And as always, the code has been cleaned up and updated in order to make it more performant and stable. ### 11.0.0 — 2024-10-27 General. This release… … fixes a problem where walks with names containing punctuation characters could not be exported or shared …fixes an issue on Apple Watch where the guiding screen does not rotate to the direction of the current segment, but stays stuck on the previous segment. But the big novelty is the iPhone walk screen. The walk screen was rewritten from scratch (more correct – the watch version made it to the iPhone). No new features - we tried to make the initial jump as small as possible - except... 1 : The walk map can be set in manual mode where you can drag, zoom or rotate yourself. In this mode, the track arrows are replaced by circles. 2 : The elevation profile shows some extra info : current elevation (if present in the gpx file), distance walked, distance left and grade (derived from gpx file, not from altimeter). 3 : The walk overview map shows the distance left. 4: For walks without elevation info, the missing data will be added while walking. Nice is you want to share the walk as gpx later on. ## Apps similar to TrackGuide | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Outdooractive](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/outdooractive/id1364846172) | 4.3 (429) | Free | Travel | | [OsmAnd Maps Travel & Navigate](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/osmand-maps-travel-and-navigate/id934850257) | 4.6 (5,508) | Free | Travel | ## More apps by Bert Torfs BVBA - [OurScoreSheet](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ourscoresheet/id495224171) - [HIITList](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hiitlist/id954889062) - [ReactionTrainer](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/reactiontrainer/id1200534900) - [HIITList Watch](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hiitlist-watch/id1551301455) All apps by Bert Torfs BVBA: https://appshunter.io/developer/442917392 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
