TrackMe. Hike&Travel Recorder

Luis Espinosa

About this app

TrackMe is an advanced route recorder, trip journal, live location tool, and outdoor navigation companion for Android.

It records your movement using GPS, Wi-Fi, or network location, stores your route data locally on your phone, and can optionally sync it to a TrackMe server so you can view it later from your device or from a web browser.

Originally inspired by the classic Windows Mobile version, the Android edition has evolved into a much more capable app focused on route recording, map tools, offline use, route guidance, media-rich markers, and detailed trip review.

Ratings and reviews

Love this app. Luis has put time and effort to make this one of those apps that works very very close to perfect. One issue... My exported GPX files go into a folder I can only access by connecting my phone to a pc (LEM. Trackme). I'll give this 5 stars if you would please provide a setting to set export path or point me to the right setting. Thank you so much!!

This app is superb. I use for motorbike rides. Shows my routes perfectly. One question, can I export times for each point, please? So that l can add to a track display showing my position with GoPro video (GoPro GPS record is really not good). Thanks for quick reply to my comment and for the advice.

I use many track recorders and try to keep them all managed with a trackserver and have had to do this with alot of maneuvering. With the latest import gpx feature and the ability to upload to a trackserver this app does just what I need. User interface a bit confusing but once you learn (not too onerous) it works fine as a track recoder too. Just doesn't use OS maps, only Google maps.
