myTracks vs TripTracker

myTracks turns your iPhone or Apple Watch into a fully functional GPS logger. The GPS recordings can be displayed on various maps, which are also available offline when needed. During a recording, you can set waypoints and give them a name to mark important locations. In addition to waypoints, you can also take photos in myTracks that are then directly linked to the GPS track. GPS tracks are stored exclusively on your iPhone, meaning you don't need to register or sign in anywhere. If you'd like, you can sync all your GPS tracks via iCloud across your devices (iOS and macOS). You can start and stop GPS recordings individually, or use the battery-saving journal mode, where myTracks automatically creates a single track with the most important locations for each day. You can conveniently manage your GPS tracks in the track library. From there, you can export tracks or their associated photos — for example, by email — and share them on social media. The built-in Apple Watch app displays information about the current GPS recording, including the start time, distance traveled, current altitude, minimum and maximum altitude, and the current map view. You can start and stop the iPhone's GPS recording from your Apple Watch and add waypoints. Since myTracks 5, you can also record tracks directly with your Apple Watch. myTracks Features: - Record GPS tracks with iPhone or Apple Watch - Display tracks on a variety of maps - Maps are optionally available offline — no internet connection required - Waypoints and photos can be added to a track during a GPS recording - GPS tracks can be sent via email - Photos can be sent via email or shared on social media - GPS tracks can be exported as GPX, KML, KMZ, or ZIP files, or opened in other apps - Recorded GPS tracks can be synced to your Mac - GPS tracks and photos can be synced via iCloud - Apple Watch app including recording functionality - myTracks is ad-free myTracks can be used for free.
