TrackHound is customizable, offline navigation for everyday drives, motorcycle rides, 4x4 trips, gravel detours, and weekend loops, with routing that runs on your iPhone. Choose Fastest for the commute, Curviest for Sunday roads, Unpavediest for dirt and gravel, or build your own route preset. Then tune the vehicle profile, dashboard, and units to match how you actually drive or ride. Every driver gets a slightly different app, and that's the point. WHAT'S FREE - Plan routes with all four presets: Shortest, Fastest, Curviest, Unpavediest - Compare All draws every preset on the map at once, so you can pick the one that fits this ride - Fine-grained costing controls to tune the current ride - Preview closed-loop routes from a target distance and start point - Download your first region and calculate routes on-device, even in airplane mode - Export any route as a GPX file - Live worldwide address search, pick from Contacts, and long-press the map to set start and destination TRACKHOUND PRO Route planning is always free. TrackHound Pro (a subscription or a one-time purchase) unlocks the on-the-road features. New to Pro? The annual plan starts with a 14-day free trial: - Roadbook turn-by-turn navigation: glance-readable maneuver arrow with distance and instruction, rally-style route- alignment compass (green on course, red when you drift), speedometer with speed-limit coloring, portrait and landscape layouts - Navigate, save, and export closed-loop rides - Import GPX files from Files or Mail - Download additional regions beyond your first - Save your own custom route presets - CarPlay navigation OFFLINE & PRIVATE Download a region once and calculate routes on-device, even in airplane mode.

MADE FOR EVERY KIND OF RIDE The Monday commute and the Sunday backroad loop run on the same engine. Only the preset changes. Motorcycle and car / 4x4 profiles each cost the route their own way.
