GPX Tracker is a simple to use but powerful tool that helps you to track your ways. If you drive a car, biking or even outdoor on a walking or hiking tour, GPX Tracker will be tracing your geo data. Once developed as a creator for XCode compatible GPX formatted files, the feature list is growing but it is still as simple to use. Configuration GPX Tracker has a simple configuration interface. * Distance Filter - specifies the minimum distance between two way points in meters. * Auto Stop - If you ever forget to turn off the recorder, don't mind. GPX Tracker figures out whenever you stop traveling and stops tracing your trip to save energy. * Reminder - If this feature is turned on, you will receive a message whenever you stop by for a few minutes to remind you on stopping the track tracing. Trip Tracking The main screen has a start/stop button. Simply press this button once for tracing a new trip and a second time whenever you want to stop recording data. On the top of the screen, you will see the traveled miles or kilometers depending on your locale system configuration. With the menu bar item on the right side you can choose different user tracking modes for the maps. Tracks The Tracks screen provides a list of tracks recorded. The will show the date and time of recording, the duration of the trip and its distance. If you tap on one of the trips, it will be displayed on a map. From there on, you can press the menu bar item on the right side to choose an export format and send the generated file by email. Back in the Tracks screen, you can easily delete a recorded track by swiping the desired item from the right to the left. Track Export Formats There are two output formats available. * XCode compatible "wpt"-tag based GPX files. This format can be used for the iOS Simulator by added the generated gpx file to an XCode iOS Project. * Common GPX "trk"-tag based format. The track will consist of a collection of "trkpt" tags within a "trk" element. This format should be fine for any application that processes gpx tracks. GPX Tracker is free but ad supported. Please note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. GPS will be stopped automatically, as soon as you stop recording a track.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: GPX Trail Tracker at 42% against GPX View's 0%. GPX Trail Tracker also leads on ratings volume (253 vs 6) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). GPX View's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GPX View holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GPX Trail Tracker has 253 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of GPX Trail Tracker's written reviews are positive against 0% of GPX View's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

GPX Trail Tracker ships an update every 2 months, GPX View every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
