RoadTrace

RoadTrace records where you went β and how fast you were going at every point of it. NEW: A MILEAGE LOG BUILT ON YOUR DRIVES Every drive RoadTrace records becomes a line in your mileage log with what the tax office asks for: start and end address (looked up automatically), distance, and odometer readings chained from the one you enter for your car. A dashboard reading that doesn't match shows as a gap. β’ One tap: Business, Commute or Private, with purpose and client. Saved places (your office, a client) fill these in, and an optional work-hours rule sorts drives for you. Missed one? Add it by hand. β’ At the top: your business-use share for the year. Rules are built in for the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and nine European countries. β’ Every line and change goes into a tamper-evident record. Lines are sealed after 7 days; later corrections print in the report beside the original, and a deleted line stays on record as a deletion. β’ Report: a PDF laid out as a mileage log, plus CSV, for any period and vehicle, in miles, with gaps and corrections marked. A backup copy sits in the Files app. The log, sorting and editing are included; exporting the report is part of RoadTrace Pro. Press START before a drive, a run or a walk. RoadTrace draws your route on a map and stores your speed and altitude at every point, so afterwards you can see exactly what you were doing, and where. Record for as long as you like β there is no time limit. A DASHBOARD YOU CAN READ AT A GLANCE β’ Opens on the speedometer, with today's top speed, altitude and GPS accuracy beside your live speed β’ Large digital speedometer, built for a car mount β’ Live trail: the road behind you, coloured by how fast you were going β’ Altitude from the barometer β far steadier than GPS alone β’ Tap the dial for a full-screen, speed-only view EVERY TRIP, IN DETAIL β’ Your route coloured by speed: green where slow, red where fast β’ Zoom the map and individual speed readings appear along the road β’ Speed and altitude graphs you can pinch, drag and scrub to any exact second β’ Distance, duration, max and average speed, climb and descent YOUR TERRITORY β’ Every area your trips have taken you through fills in, cell by cell, on one map β’ Personal records and weekly totals WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Recording never needs the internet. Position, speed and altitude come from the phone's own GPS and barometer, and every trip is saved on the device. The map fills in when you reconnect. KEEPS RECORDING Recording continues with the screen off and the app in the background. HONEST ABOUT ITSELF Every trip shows how many samples it captured and how good the fix was. Satellite speed from a phone is an estimate, and RoadTrace says so rather than pretending otherwise. PRIVATE Your routes and your log stay on your device. Only to show addresses, a drive's start and end point go to Apple's map service. ROADTRACE PRO β ONE PAYMENT, FOR LIFE Recording has no time limit for anyone, and your three newest trips are always open. Older trips are never deleted: they stay on your phone and open with Pro. Pro adds: β’ Mileage log report as PDF and CSV β’ Every trip kept and open, however many you record β’ Speed alert: presets from 30 to 130 km/h (or the mph equivalents), or your own number β the gauge turns red and a beep sounds every 10 seconds while you are above it, even with the screen locked β’ HUD mode: a mirrored, full-screen speed you can read in the windshield at night β’ Record every drive automatically: it starts when your phone detects driving, stops 3 minutes after you park and sends you a summary β optionally only in your own car, via Bluetooth β’ Speed, distance and time on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island β’ CSV and GPX export of your trips, with monthly Business and Personal totals β’ 0β60 mph / 0β100 km/h acceleration test, with your best runs kept Pay once and it's yours. Nothing renews: no subscription, no ads.
