The paths you travel become your life.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
The paths you walk, the train lines you run on, the cities you visit.
Each and every one of your movements becomes a unique "map of you" in the world.
Routepia is an extremely simple recording app that overlays GPS tracks as a heatmap onto a map.
There are no flashy features or social media posting functions.
It's simply an app where your footprints quietly increase on the map—that's all it is.
■ For those who:
* Cyclists and motorcyclists who enjoy navigating city streets by bicycle or motorbike
* Railway enthusiasts who want to visualize the routes they've traveled
* Those who want to record their weekend drives, overnight stays in their car, and travel experiences
* Those who enjoy exploring cities on foot
* Those drawn to geometric beauty and regular patterns
* Those with an explorer's spirit who think, "I never want to take the same road twice!"
■ Main Features
▷ Heatmap Recording
Continuously acquires your current location and records the places you've passed on the map as colored cells.
The more times you pass through a location, the darker the color becomes.
▷ Free Customization of the Base Map
Four modes: Light / Dark / Satellite / Blank.
You can individually show/hide POIs (restaurants, parks, schools, medical facilities, etc.), train stations, bus stops, airports, road labels, and administrative boundary labels.
For those who simply want to view their own footprints, deleting all POIs and making the background blank transforms the map itself into a single geometric drawing.
▷ Visualization of Statistics
You can always check the number of visited cells, visit count, and cumulative distance on the HUD on the home screen.
The achievement screen visualizes the completion rate of the specified area.
▷ Dark Mode
Supports a fully dark mode that links the UI and map. It's easy on the eyes even when viewing records late at night and blends seamlessly with action scenes.
▷ Background Recording
You can continue recording your movements by bicycle, train, or car even with the screen off.
▷ Privacy-Focused & Fully Local
Your location information never leaves your device.
No transmission to servers, no login required, no account registration required.
Deletion is completed simply by uninstalling the app.
■ Why a Heatmap?
There's a reason why we record using "cells (grids)" rather than lines (paths).
Lines emphasize "when you traveled," while cells emphasize "how often you traveled."
As you repeatedly travel, your living area and behavioral patterns naturally emerge on the map.
It's less of a travel record and more like a microcosm of yourself.
The paths you travel become your life.
—Routepia quietly supports this process.
■ Notes
・Continuous use of GPS functionality consumes slightly more battery than when the function is completely off (optimized, but charging is recommended for long recordings).
・Google Maps is used for map display.
・This app does not transmit your location information externally. Google AdMob is used for the advertising SDK.
