Journey Tracker is a GPS route-tracking app for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Whether you are walking, running, cycling, hiking, or taking a road trip, you can easily save your routes, activity data, places, and photos—making every journey easy to revisit. 【Effortless Route Tracking】 Start recording your GPS route with a single tap. View your route, distance, steps, duration, elevation gain, and latest update time in real time. With the appropriate location permission enabled, the app can continue recording in the background. 【Independent Apple Watch Tracking】 Start a cycling, hiking, running, or walking workout directly from your Apple Watch. View distance, steps, heart rate, calories burned, battery level, and other useful information. Your watch can continue recording even when the iPhone app is closed, and the data will sync automatically afterward. 【Save Places and Find Nearby Facilities】 Save frequently visited places and search for nearby restaurants, accommodations, shops, transportation, medical facilities, attractions, and public services. A direction arrow on the map helps you identify which way you are facing, reducing wrong turns and unnecessary detours. 【Multiple Travel Modes】 Find walking, driving, cycling, or public transit directions to your destination. View estimated travel time, distance, transit stops, and route details. When multiple routes are available, you can quickly switch between them for comparison. 【Capture Journey Highlights with Photos】 Add markers at your current location while recording a route. Name each marker and attach a photo taken on the spot or selected from your photo library. Tap a marker on the map to revisit its location details and photos—turning your route into a visual travel memory. 【Manage Your Route History】 Browse all completed routes, rename them, merge records, or trim unwanted route sections. You can also select a saved route as a reference and compare it with your current journey. 【GPX and KML Support】 Import and export routes in GPX format, or export your records as KML files for use on other devices and with compatible mapping tools. 【iCloud Sync Across Devices】 Automatically sync routes, places, and markers through iCloud, keeping your travel records available across your Apple devices. 【Flexible Map Settings】 Choose from standard, satellite, and hybrid maps. Adjust the route recording interval, default map range, and search radius for nearby facilities.
