Bike Tracker

SpiderRoute records your bicycle and scooter rides, keeps your route on the map, and brings your speed, distance and ride history together. Start with the map for a commute, scooter ride or weekend cycle. Expand it, follow your location and record your journey. RECORD YOUR RIDE Start recording before you set off. Follow your route as it grows, with distance, active time, average speed and current speed alongside it. Pause for a break, resume when ready, then finish to save the ride. Pauses remain separate route segments instead of drawing a straight line across the gap. Recording can continue while you use another app or lock your phone. The active ride is saved incrementally on your device. If the app is interrupted, recover the confirmed recording on the next launch. GPS cannot keep recording after you force-quit the app; continuing starts a new segment without inventing the missing journey. BRING A ROUTE WITH YOU Import a GPX, KML, GeoJSON or CSV route from Files and display it beside your recording. Choose a route from your library, show its full shape, reverse its direction and use distance markers to understand your progress. Your reference route and recorded ride remain separate. DOWNLOAD MAPS BEFORE YOU GO With Plus, download OpenStreetMap areas for offline use. Choose countries or regions and manage stored maps in Settings. An active trial, subscription or Lifetime Access unlocks offline maps. When access ends, downloads pause and saved maps stay on the device. EXPLORE PLACES ALONG THE WAY Import GPX waypoints or a compatible route guide to see places on the map. Tap a mark for its description, included photos and source links. Hide marks for a quieter map. Guides come from imported files; SpiderRoute does not provide turn-by-turn directions or create routes for you. SEE YOUR PACE Switch to the Speed tab for a large number or a complete gauge. Choose km/h, mph, m/s or knots, adjust the gauge scale, and customize number colors for light and dark appearances. An audible warning can alert you at your chosen speed threshold. Enable the optional mirrored HUD in Settings. KEEP AND SHARE YOUR RIDES Browse saved rides with maps, timing, distance and speed statistics. Export GPX, KML, GeoJSON or CSV through Share or Save to Files. Existing saved rides stay exportable. Enable iCloud sync for ride history in your private iCloud Documents container, or keep it on your device. Optional Remote Camera connects two nearby iPhones: one records video while the other controls it from the map. Pairing is local; videos stay on the recording phone. Plus unlocks ride recording and offline maps. Live speed, warnings, online maps, imported routes, HUD, saved ride history, iCloud sync and export are available without Plus. No SpiderRoute account or analytics service is required. GPS accuracy varies with your surroundings. Stop safely before using the controls.
