I often felt uneasy when I had to take unfamiliar routes. I worried about getting lost and whether the path I was following was really the one I had memorized. It would be nice to have a GPS device with navigation, but in reality, they are often expensive. So I made this app. This app displays GPS route data created by others or routes generated from map websites, exactly as they are. If your current location is on the route, you are going the right way. Continuously looking at the screen while riding is dangerous, so I recommend checking it only briefly when you are unsure of the route. However, in the current location mode, the screen can be kept on continuously. • If an error occurs, please email the GPX / TCX / KML / KMZ file you are using.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: GPX Tracker at none against GPS Status ∞ Coordinates's 3. GPX Tracker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (75% vs 51%). GPS Status ∞ Coordinates's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GPS Status ∞ Coordinates sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. GPX Tracker asks for nothing beyond the download.
GPS Status ∞ Coordinates holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPS Status ∞ Coordinates has 3.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of GPX Tracker's written reviews are positive against 51% of GPS Status ∞ Coordinates's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
GPX Tracker ships an update every 5 months, GPS Status ∞ Coordinates fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
