Trips

Just drive. Trips does the rest. Trips notices when you start driving and stops when you park. There are no buttons to press and no account to create. Every drive is saved with its route, distance, time and speed, then turned into a postcard coloured by the time of day. WHY PEOPLE KEEP IT • Automatic: it starts and stops on its own, in the background. • Never lose your car: Trips remembers where you parked and gets you walking directions back. • Private: your drives stay on your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no tracking. • Always ready: GPS recording works without cell service. EVERY DRIVE, IN FULL • Postcards: each drive becomes a card you will want to look back on. • Timeline: when you left, where you stopped, your top speed and when you arrived. • Maps and charts: see your route, speed and elevation. • Notes: name a drive and add a note so you remember it. • Search: find any drive by place, name or note. • Share: send a postcard while keeping your start and end points hidden. YOUR DRIVING, ADDED UP • See this week, this month and all time at a glance. • Track distance, drive time, average speed and top speed. • Check your longest drive, busiest day and longest streak. IN YOUR CAR Trips works with CarPlay. Follow your speed, distance and time on your car's display, and look back at recent drives. TRIPS PRO Trips is free to use for recording, history and stats. Trips Pro adds: • Fuel Cost: see what every drive costs, based on your car and local fuel price. • Monthly Recaps: your whole month of driving on one shareable poster. • Export: save all your drives as CSV and GPX files. Monthly and annual plans start with a 1-month free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when the trial ends.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Trips at none against GPS Navigation & Speedometer's shown. GPS Navigation & Speedometer's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
