About this app

PathXplorer — GPS Tracking, Photos & Shareable Videos

Turn every hike, ride, run, or road trip into a richly detailed, shareable story. More than a line on a map: live metrics, geotagged photos, videos, PDF reports, parking memory, an SOS lifeline, and real-time friend tracking. Recording works with zero mobile data. No account required.

🛰️ Precise GPS Tracking
• High-accuracy route recording with adjustable update intervals
• Rock-solid background recording — never lose your route
• For hiking, cycling, sailing, skiing, motorcycling, and driving

📊 The Most Detailed Outdoor Dashboard
Build yours from a huge library of live tiles — drag to resize & reorder; double-tap any tile to copy its value.
• Motion: speed, average, max, distance, duration, UTC & local time
• Navigation: coordinates, bearing, nearest address, waypoints
• Elevation: altitude, slope (%), vertical speed
• Weather: temperature & feels-like, wind + head/tailwind — humidity, rain, snow, UV & pressure in every track
• Lean Angle: real-time gauge, gyro auto-zeroed — live and in your videos, free for all riders
• G-Force: live crosshair of acceleration, braking & cornering — recorded into your videos
• Effort: steps, cadence, stride length
• GPS: position accuracy, update interval • Hardware: battery, file size

📸 Geotagged Photos
• Snap photos while recording — each is pinned to the exact spot on your route
• Thumbnails on the map; tap to revisit any moment
• They drop into your videos at the place they were taken

🅿️ Parking Spot Memory
• While recording, PathXplorer notes where you parked — automatically, no button pressed
• Recent spots appear as map badges, each tagged with its street address
• Long-press a badge to copy the address and text it to anyone
• All on-device — one tap in Settings turns it off

🆘 SOS — Help on Your Terms
• Press and hold, then confirm — an alert never leaves your phone by accident
• YOU pick what to include: location, nearest address, recently passed streets, recent trail, photos
• Up to 3 contacts get an email with a live map — and can follow you live in the app
• Wi-Fi blocked? The alert retries over cellular automatically

✈️ Your Mobile Data, Your Rules
• Three modes: Max, Min, or Zero Data — recording always uses ZERO mobile data
• Min Data keeps map tiles and periodic weather; Zero Data spends nothing at all
• On Wi-Fi everything unlocks automatically
• Built-in meter shows exactly what the app used
• Made for roaming abroad, remote trails, and prepaid plans

🎬 Relive & Share Your Adventures

What’s new

• Free includes 10 routes a day, up to 100 km each
• Opening screen: 5 seconds for everyone
• A thinner white outline around your track
