GPX viewer 2 is my independent app for viewing and following your GPX routes. Carefully crafted for all outdoor enthusiasts – hikers, cyclists, motorcyclists and geocachers – with no ads and no subscription. Import your routes from GPX files (tracks or routes), even if your file contains multiple tracks. Display them on a wide range of base maps (standard, satellite, OpenStreetMap, OpenTopoMap, Swisstopo, IGN…) or on your own custom maps, and download them for offline use. Browse the interactive elevation profile, statistics, points of interest, image galleries, and even an audio guide if your GPX file includes one. Weather conditions at the start of your route are also available. Follow your progress in real time and head out with confidence thanks to the navigation tools: compass, altitude, speed and manual bearing markers. With an Apple Watch, send your routes to your wrist and follow them with your iPhone in your pocket: the track, its direction and its points of interest, in a pared-back interface that stays readable at a glance. The app contains everything you need to go hiking and follow your route. To go further, three Pro levels are available as a one-time purchase – no subscription and no ads. A great way to support the app's development. Thank you!

CleanRoute is a smarter navigation experience designed to help you drive through cleaner air and reduce your environmental impact. Instead of only finding the fastest path, CleanRoute analyzes air quality along your route and helps you choose cleaner alternatives. Using our CleanScore algorithm, the app evaluates pollution exposure along each route and highlights the paths that reduce your exposure to harmful air pollutants. Every trip compares two options: the fastest route and the cleaner route. You can immediately see how much pollution you avoid by choosing a CleanRoute, while the map visually displays air quality along your drive. CleanRoute also helps you leave at the right time. By connecting your calendar, the app analyzes traffic conditions and upcoming events to recommend the best departure time so you can avoid congestion and unnecessary emissions. Key Features • Turn by turn navigation with real time GPS tracking • Compare fastest routes with cleaner routes using CleanScore air quality analysis • Visual pollution gradient along your route based on real time PM2.5 data • Smart Leave alerts that recommend optimal departure times from your calendar • Real time voice guidance with intelligent speed aware alerts • Track pollution and CO₂ savings for every trip • Trip history and environmental impact statistics • Saved locations for home, work, and favorite destinations CleanRoute helps you make smarter travel decisions, avoid polluted roads, and understand the environmental impact of your daily driving.
