IGPTrack is the ultimate training companion for IGP (Internationale Gebrauchshunde Prüfungsordnung) and IFH dog sport. Record, analyze, and improve your tracking training, and learn the rules in the Guide. GPS TRACKING & SEARCH RECORDING Record your handler track with real-time GPS accuracy monitoring and drop article markers during track laying. Then record your dog's search separately to compare how closely it followed the track, with distance, duration, and accuracy calculated automatically. SMART SEARCH ASSISTANCE Keep your eyes on your dog, not your phone. IGPTrack can start search recording when you reach the track start and detect when your dog reaches the end. Optional spoken alerts, in a voice you choose, announce articles, corners, cross tracks, and the track end. APPLE WATCH COMPANION Start and monitor track, search, and cross track sessions from your wrist, without your iPhone. Recording runs as a HealthKit workout and syncs back to your iPhone automatically. CROSS TRACK SUPPORT Record cross tracks laid across the main track, several per session, each with its own weather data and map styling. IGP & IFH TRACK TEMPLATES Choose from predefined official IGP 1-3 and IFH 1-3 competition layouts, or save your own tracks as reusable templates. Position and rotate templates on the map and generate tracks instantly. COMPETITION LEVEL CHECK IGPTrack measures your laid track — distance in regulation steps, corners, legs, and articles — and shows which IGP or IFH level it satisfies, with a pass/fail breakdown per level. TRAFFIC LIGHT SCORING SYSTEM Evaluate your dog with our IGP-based questionnaire across five categories: Track Start, Track Work, Corners, Articles, and Deductions. Red/Yellow/Green answers calculate a predicted score. ARTICLE EVALUATION Mark exactly where your dog found articles relative to their laid position. Automatic IGP position scoring tracks finding accuracy over time. GUIDE & REGULATIONS The Guide explains IGP in plain words: the levels; tracking (Phase A) for IGP and IFH, with a step-by-step figure of the laid track, its articles and cross track; the article rules and their nine zones; and obedience (B) and protection (C), with an animated figure for every exercise and a mode that plays the whole routine. Further guides cover BH/VT, IBGH, FPr/UPr/SPr/GPr, IFH, StöPr, AD and the WB temperament assessment. Walkthroughs show recording, the Watch and sharing. Search the official regulations in English, German or Danish, and each passage found opens the PDF at its page. The guides include the FCI amendments of January 2026; the official texts are binding. INTERACTIVE MAPPING Mapbox maps in several styles show routes, start and finish, articles, search paths, and cross tracks. DOG PROFILE MANAGEMENT Manage multiple dogs with photo, color, medical records, heat cycles, vet contacts, and competition results, and set a default dog for new tracks. ADVANCED TRACK ORGANIZATION Nested folders with custom colors, tags, notes, photos, and videos. Rate tracks 0-100 and record track age. COMPREHENSIVE ANALYTICS Ten insight views: statistics dashboard, weather performance, track and article heatmaps, progress and dog comparison, article success rate, track complexity, time-of-day, consistency, and track-age performance. SHARING & EXPORT Send tracks from Messages with the iMessage extension; recipients import with one tap. Export GPX, share via iCloud with other handlers, and import GPX from other apps. LIVE ACTIVITIES & SIRI A Live Activity shows recording status and a track-age countdown on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. Start and stop recording hands-free with Siri and Shortcuts. WEATHER INTEGRATION WeatherKit records temperature, wind, humidity, UV index, visibility, and conditions with every session. PRIVACY & SYNC Local storage with optional iCloud sync. Location is only collected while recording. No third-party analytics: your data stays yours. Available in English, Danish, and German.
