A proper GPX recorder for iPhone
GPX is the lingua franca of GPS — and NomadTracks speaks it natively, in both directions. Record tracks and export them as standards-compliant GPX; import any GPX or GeoJSON from route portals, friends or your old app. Free, no account, and your imported GPX files stay on your device.
Just got a GPX file and only want to open it? The guide to opening a GPX file on iPhone walks through it step by step — including what to do when the file won't open.
Recording that respects the format
Tracks record with timestamps, elevation and accuracy data, and export as clean GPX 1.1 — they open correctly in every desktop tool and route portal we've tried. Waypoints (POIs) carry names, descriptions and coordinates.
Import from anywhere
Share a GPX to NomadTracks from Mail, AirDrop, Files or any browser download. Tracks, routes and waypoints all import; nothing is silently dropped.
Bundles when GPX is not enough
GPX can't carry photos. NomadTracks bundles can — track, POIs, photos and metadata in one file, ideal for moving between your own devices or sharing a complete trip.
Switching from another app?
Export your history as GPX there, AirDrop the files over, done. Folders keep imports organized; recoloring makes them visually distinct from your own recordings.
