About this app

Phantom Trace is the off-road racing GPS tool built for desert racers, pre-runners, and chase teams.
Drop waypoints on the satellite map ahead of race day, record GPS tracks while you pre-run the course, and coordinate with your whole team in real-time during the race. No more shouting over the radio about that nasty drop-off at mile 47 — mark it once, every teammate sees it.
BUILT FOR THE WAY OFF-ROAD ACTUALLY WORKS
📍 WAYPOINTS
Drop pins for hazards, pits, turns, jumps, silt beds, and checkpoints. Categorize them, color-code by role, attach photos. Each waypoint shows up on the team map with a readable label, even at race speed.
🛣️ TRACK RECORDING
Record your pre-run as a smoothed GPS track. Optimized for long courses (24-hour races have been tested). Export to GPX or KML for use with other GPS units or backup.
🏁 PRE-RUN / RACE / CHASE MODES
Switch the whole interface for the job at hand. PRE-RUN mode is built for marking the course slowly. RACE mode is track-up, big-text, voice-callouts-of-upcoming-waypoints. CHASE mode is read-only with your racer's live position front and center.
🎙️ TEAM VOICE CHAT
Press-and-hold to send a voice clip to your whole team. Auto-plays on every teammate's device the moment it arrives — even while they're driving and looking at the map. Voice history is saved so late-joiners catch up on what was said before they connected.
🚗 LIVE TEAM TRACKING
Chase trucks see the racer's position in real-time. Pre-runners share their location with the team. Everyone always knows where everyone is.
📋 TEAM ROLES
Pre-runner, race car, chase truck — each gets its own color on the map and its own tuned interface. The leader assigns roles via the team screen.
📤 SHARE & EXPORT
Share individual waypoints or tracks with teammates via the in-app inbox. Export everything to GPX or KML at any time for use in other tools.
🛰️ GOOGLE SATELLITE MAPS
Razor-sharp imagery you can actually navigate by. Cached for offline use during the race.
OFFLINE-FIRST
Drop waypoints, record tracks, and review your route even with zero signal. Everything syncs the moment you reconnect — and if you never reconnect, your data still survives until you do.
PRIVACY
Your location is only shared with teammates you invite. No ads. We don't sell your data. We don't track you outside the app. See our privacy policy for full details.
Built by racers, for racers. From the SCORE-style desert run to the local short-course shootout — Phantom Trace is the GPS tool your chase crew has been asking for.
