GPS Toolkit vs GPXTool

GPS Toolkit – GNSS turns your phone into a pro-grade GNSS instrument. Whether you're hiking off-trail, sailing offshore, surveying a job site, or simply curious about the satellites overhead, GPS Toolkit gives you the data professionals need — without the bloat, ads, or accounts. — LIVE GNSS DATA — • Every visible satellite from every constellation: GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, QZSS • Sky plot with azimuth and elevation • Signal-to-noise bars per satellite • Real-time fix quality, HDOP, accuracy — PRECISE POSITION — • Five coordinate formats: Decimal Degrees, DMS, DDM, UTM, MGRS • Altitude (GNSS + barometer when available) • Speed, course, magnetic heading • Configurable units: metric, imperial, or nautical — MAPS & TRACKS — • OpenStreetMap with tile caching for limited connectivity • Record tracks with one tap, in foreground or background • Import and export GPX (industry standard, compatible with every GPS tool) • Waypoints with categories and custom labels — NAVIGATION — • Bearing and distance to any waypoint • Proximity alerts with configurable threshold and sound • True magnetic compass, GPS-independent — TOOLS THE PROS USE — • Geodesic calculator: Vincenty-precision distance, midpoint, projection • Background tracking continues with the screen off • Live Activities on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island • Available in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese — PRIVACY FIRST — • Everything stays on your device • No account, no sign-up, no tracking • No ads, no in-app purchases • Built on open, audited geodesic libraries Built by an outdoor user who got tired of bloated GPS apps.

Import your tracks from Files, iCloud, or other apps, then analyze them in detail before sharing or exporting them. Main features: • View GPX files on a map • 2D and 3D maps to better understand the terrain • Analyze distance, elevation gain, altitude, and grade • Interactive charts to follow the route kilometer by kilometer • Compare multiple GPX tracks • Detect anomalies: gaps, abnormal GPS points, noisy elevation, or suspicious back-and-forth sections • Merge multiple GPX files • Simplify a GPX by reducing the number of points • Trim the start or end of a track • Reverse the direction of a route • Clean up inconsistent points • Export to GPX, KML, or CSV GPXTool is useful for hiking, trail running, cycling, running, skiing, outdoor activities, or any activity based on a GPS track. The app helps you prepare your routes, check the quality of a GPX file, compare different variants, and export a cleaner track. Your data stays on your device.
