NomadTracks for city exploring

Get lost on purpose. Keep every find.

The best city days are unplanned — and impossible to reconstruct afterwards. Record your wandering with NomadTracks and the evening's question ('where WAS that little bakery?') answers itself: it's a pin on your line, with a photo and a note.

The wandering, mapped

Your day through the alleys as a track — distance, route and all the detours that made it good.

Places with memory

POIs hold photos, notes, categories and addresses. The bakery, the bookshop, the rooftop bar — findable forever.

Photos become pins

Create a POI straight from any photo's location — even after the trip, from your camera roll.

Free, no account: recording, your own offline maps, GPX export and the Apple Watch app are all part of the free core. Download on the App Store

A travel diary that maps itself

The best city days are unplanned — and impossible to reconstruct the next morning. Record the wander and the evening's question ("where was that little bakery?") answers itself: it's a pin on your line, with a photo and a note. Create a POI straight from any photo's location, even days later from the camera roll, and a whole trip becomes a map you can actually revisit.

Explore on foot, keep every find

Distance, route and all the detours that made the day good, plus places that hold their memory: the bookshop, the rooftop bar, the viewpoint. Folders keep it tidy — one per city, years of travel in order. The runs below double as city walks: two lakefront loops through Chicago and an 8.8 km wander through Lincoln's Springfield.

Questions

FAQ

Does city tracking drain the battery?

No more than a podcast. GPS recording is efficient; a full day of strolling is no problem.

Can I keep trips organized by city?

Yes — folders for tracks and POIs. One folder per city or per trip keeps years of travel tidy.

Is there a good city tracker app that keeps my walks private?

Yes — NomadTracks records your city walks with no account and no servers: the track and every pinned café or viewpoint stay on your device and in your own iCloud. It's a travel-diary tracker, not a social feed, so nothing is published unless you choose to export and share it.
