About

GPSRecTracker

Read full description

GPS Receiver is a lightweight GPS flight tracking tool for pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and users who need a clear view of real-time GPS data. View your current speed, altitude, heading, coordinates, GPS accuracy, and recorded flight path in a focused dashboard. Record flights in the background, save offline reference map areas, review past routes, and replay your track with a cockpit-style view after landing. Offline maps are designed for basic reference use. They use low-zoom Natural Earth data and may be overzoomed when enlarged, so they are not high-detail aviation charts or official navigation data. Key features: Real-time GPS speed, altitude, heading, and coordinates Flight recording with track history Background location recording while tracking GPS quality and accuracy alerts Offline reference map areas Flight records and route review Cockpit-style replay view English interface support Natural Earth attribution for offline map data GPS Receiver is intended as a supplemental situational awareness and flight logging tool. It should not be used as the sole source of navigation, terrain avoidance, weather decisions, or flight safety information. Always use approved aviation instruments, charts, and procedures.

See your remaining data at a glance — right on your Home Screen. No ads. No subscription. No VPN. A data usage widget you can match to your carrier's numbers. TIRED OF… • Trackers that never match what your carrier says? • Ads, or features moved behind a subscription after you paid? • Apps that count Wi-Fi as mobile data? • Billing cycles stuck on the 1st? WHAT GIGAGUARD DOES • Calibrate to your carrier — on-device measurement always drifts a little. Type in the usage shown in your carrier's app and GigaGuard matches it. • Widgets for the Home Screen and Apple Watch (Lock Screen widgets with Premium). Choose from four layouts, including a ring, show today's Wi-Fi usage, and refresh without opening the app. • Cellular and Wi-Fi tracked separately — only mobile data counts toward your plan. • Any billing day from the 1st to the 31st, rollover data, and day passes for prepaid or travel eSIMs. • Pace forecast: see where you'll end the cycle and the day you'd hit your cap. • A daily limit alert, plus alerts at the percentages you choose (Premium). • Daily usage history as bars, a line or a running total, with Wi-Fi alongside cellular, plus per-cycle history (Premium). • Up to 20 lines — main, work and travel eSIM — each with its own plan (Premium). • Siri Shortcuts: "Check remaining data in GigaGuard". PRIVACY • No VPN. GigaGuard never sits in the middle of your connection. • No carrier login, no account. • Your data stays on your iPhone. Nothing is sent to a server. PRICING Free to use. Premium is a one-time purchase — never a subscription. No ads. PLEASE NOTE iOS doesn't let apps read your carrier's official usage, so GigaGuard measures on-device and lets you calibrate. Usage is updated when you open the app or refresh the widget. Per-app usage is not available. For billing, always check your carrier's official app or website.
