VeloGPS vs Quick GPS+

VeloGPS turns your iPhone into a full handheld GPS. Precise coordinates, barometric altitude, compass, waypoints, track recording, and GPX export — everything a dedicated GPS unit does, on the device you already carry. Built for hiking, cycling, kayaking, sailing, skiing, backcountry travel, geocaching, and anything else you'd reach for a handheld for. Live GPS Dashboard A frost-glass overlay on the map shows coordinates, speed, and direction by default — tap the chevron to expand for altitude and pressure. The Info tab gives you the full readout: coordinates, speed, altitude, course, compass heading, and barometric pressure on one screen. Coordinates display in DD, DMS, or UTM. Track Recording & GPX Export Record your route with a single tap. Tracks auto-pause when you stop and resume the moment you move again, so distance and elevation gain reflect what you actually did. Each track is auto-classified as cycling, hiking, running, walking, driving, or flying based on motion sensors during recording. Saved tracks appear as colored polylines on the map and export as standard GPX files — complete with metadata block and activity type — for any mapping tool. Rename, recolor, re-tag activity, toggle visibility, swipe to delete with undo. Smooth, Accurate Altitude A fused altimeter combines the iPhone's barometer with GPS for steady, responsive elevation — with an outlier filter that rejects physically impossible pressure spikes from tunnels, doors, and cabin-pressure changes. EMA smoothing keeps recorded altitude clean. On iPads and devices without a barometer, GPS-only smoothing keeps the reading stable. Waypoints Save your current location with one tap. Tap a pin on the map to jump to details. Distance to each waypoint updates as you move. Mark trailheads, campsites, caches, hazards, summits — anywhere you want to find again. Interactive Map Standard, Hybrid, and Satellite views. A live accuracy circle shows your GPS precision. Tracking mode centers the map on you; pan or pinch to release it instantly. Long recorded tracks render smoothly at every zoom level. Haptic feedback confirms every interaction. Flight Mode A dedicated mode for aviation: GPS altitude (cabin pressure would corrupt the barometric altimeter), pre-flight checklist, and tuned filters. Live Activity & Lock Screen Keep speed, coordinates, altitude, distance, and your activity glyph on your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island — even when the app is in the background. Charts & Session Stats Real-time charts for speed, altitude, and pressure with windows from 1 minute to 1 hour. Session stats show distance, elevation gain/loss, max speed, average moving speed, and current grade — now on a true rolling window so the last hour is always the last hour. Power Saver Extend battery on long outings. Lowers GPS update frequency, pauses the magnetometer, and auto-suspends GPS when you're stationary. GPS Signal Quality A color-coded toolbar indicator shows your fix quality at a glance. Tap for detailed horizontal, vertical, speed, and course accuracy — plus a Processing section showing the current altitude source (fused, GPS-only, or flight mode) and live motion activity. Flexible Units Coordinates in DD, DMS, or UTM. Speed in mph, km/h, or knots. Distance in imperial or metric. Pressure in kPa, hPa/mbar, inHg, or mmHg. iPhone & iPad Tabbed navigation on iPhone, sidebar on iPad. Adapts to split-screen and slide-over. Portrait and landscape. Private by Design No accounts, no analytics, no servers. All data stays on your device.

Quick GPS+ is a clean, single-screen GPS tool that shows you everything you need at a glance: • Speed (current and max) • Altitude • Compass heading with artificial horizon • Course and GPS signal quality • Vertical speed (climb/descent rate) • Trip odometer with distance and elevation gain/loss • Coordinates in decimal and DMS formats The centerpiece is a combined attitude indicator and compass — like an aircraft instrument panel on your phone. It shows pitch, roll, and heading in real time. The trip odometer tracks distance and elevation in the background so you can pocket your phone and keep recording. No ads. No subscriptions. No account required. No data collected. Imperial and metric units. Respects your system font size.
