Travel-Tracker records the route of your travels — automatically, battery-friendly, and completely private. Start a recording, put your phone away, and enjoy the trip. Travel-Tracker keeps logging your position in the background, even when the app is closed or the screen is locked. When you're done, your route is waiting for you on a map. HOW IT WORKS Travel-Tracker uses Apple's significant-location-change service instead of continuous GPS. Your phone only wakes up when you've actually moved a meaningful distance (typically around 500 m). That makes recordings extremely light on your battery — ideal for road trips, train journeys, hikes, and multi-day travels where a conventional GPS tracker would drain your phone by lunchtime. FEATURES • One-tap recording: start a new travel with a single tap, stop it the same way • Background tracking: keeps recording while the app is closed or the phone is locked • Automatic resume: recording survives restarts — the system relaunches Travel-Tracker as you move • Map view: see the recorded route of every travel, with start and end markers • GPX export: share any travel as a standard GPX file for use in other apps and services • Travel list: all your trips with title and dates, editable titles, swipe to delete • Localized in English and German YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS All recordings are stored only on your device. No account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking of you — the only thing tracked is your route, and it never leaves your phone unless you export it. GOOD TO KNOW Travel-Tracker is designed for the big picture of a journey, not for precision sports tracking. It records a point every few hundred meters to keep battery use minimal — for lap times and pace analysis, a dedicated fitness app is the better choice. Travel-Tracker requires "Always" location access so it can keep recording while the app isn't open. You stay in control: recording only happens between pressing Start and Stop.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is device support: Window Seater at 3 against Travel's 1. Window Seater also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.5). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
