TrailCrumbs vs TripTracker

TrailCrumbs is an app that will allow you to navigate in remote areas without getting lost. As you walk, the app will plot a virtual trail of "crumbs", like the breadcrumbs that Hansel and Gretel used to escape the woods. If you are lost, you can follow the virtual crumbs back to your starting location. The black dot marks your starting location, while the red dot represents your current location. This app works without an internet connection (it just uses geolocation) so you can use it in remote areas.

TripTracker is a free, local-only GPS trip recorder. Tap Start new trip. TripTracker logs your route in the background while you walk, drive, hike, or ride. Stop when you're done. Your trip lands in the list, drawn on an Apple Map, ready to share as a GPX file you can keep, load into another map app, or hand off. Nothing goes to a server. Trips live in files on your phone. Export only happens when you tap Share. Great for: • Walks, hikes, runs, bike rides, road trips • Building up a personal log of routes you've taken • Capturing a track to share with a friend or load into another app • Anyone who wants a GPS recorder without an account, a feed, or a subscription • Quiet outdoor days where you'd rather your phone stayed in your pocket What you get: • Background GPS recording • Live map and stats while recording, including distance, speed, elevation, and duration • Tap any trip for a full map and stats; rename, resume, or delete • GPX export via the system share sheet.
