GPS Record turns your iPhone into a simple, accurate trip recorder. Tap Start and go — walk, run, ride your bike, drive or even fly. GPS Record draws your route on the map in real time and shows your current, average and maximum speed, distance, time and altitude as you move. Lock your phone and it keeps recording; the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show your time, distance and speed at a glance. When you're done, save the trip and come back to it any time: • Route on the map, coloured by speed • Distance, duration, moving time, average and top speed, climb • Speed and elevation charts over time or distance • Splits for every kilometre or mile YOUR TRACKS, YOUR FILES • Export any trip as GPX, KML or CSV • Geotag your photos: load the GPX into Lightroom or any photo tool that reads GPX • Import GPX files from Files, other apps or devices MADE FOR THE WAY YOU MOVE • Activity types tune GPS and filtering for walking, running, cycling, driving and flying • Auto-pause stops the clock at traffic lights and breaks • Kilometres or miles, GPS accuracy and map style (standard, hybrid, satellite) • Weekly and all-time totals • Works on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo — map and stats side by side on big screens PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your location is used only while you record, and your tracks are stored on your device. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose to export it. Note: Recording with GPS for a long time, especially with the screen on, uses more battery.
