NomadTracks: GPS Map Tracker: iPhone vs Android

Bring your own maps. Open a GeoPDF, a scanned Ordnance Survey sheet or a photo of a paper map, and watch your live GPS position move across it — offline, with no signal.

YOUR OWN MAPS — WHAT WE DO BEST
• GeoPDFs and georeferenced PDFs line themselves up the moment you import them
• Photograph a paper map, drop a few control points, done — the fit accuracy is shown in metres (RMS)
• Park handouts, alpine club sheets, lease boundaries, century-old survey sheets: all become maps you can walk on
• As many maps as you want, free

RECORDING
• Precise GPS recording with real elevation — barometer-assisted where the device has one
• Waypoints with category, colour, photo, address and notes
• Enter a waypoint straight from lon/lat or UTM coordinates
• Scale bar, compass and coordinates always on screen
• Live stats keep running in the notification while you record

FOLLOWING A TRACK
• Follow any saved or imported track: distance to the line, distance left, turn cues
• Stray off it and the app tells you with sound and vibration — the radius is yours to set per track
• Ghostrider: race your own earlier run and watch live whether you are ahead
• Drop a point by bearing and distance, then walk it in

PLANNING ROUTES
• Plan routes along real roads and trails — anyone can try it
• Saving one, as a route or a track, is part of Pro

IMPORT & EXPORT — YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS
• GPX, GeoJSON and KML in — GPX, GeoJSON and bundles back out
• Photos and metadata travel with them
• Heart rate rides along inside the GPX (Garmin format; Strava and Komoot read it)

YOUR LIBRARY
• Folders for tracks, waypoints and your own maps
• Elevation, speed, pace and heart-rate charts for every track
• A 30-day recycle bin

SYNC & BACKUP
• iCloud sync across all your devices — free
• Nextcloud over WebDAV — free
• Synology NAS — free
• Dropbox — with Pro
• Backups are portable: carry your library between Android and iPhone

WITH PRO
• Google Maps: roadmap, terrain and high-resolution satellite imagery
• OpenStreetMap in the OSM Bright and Stamen Terrain styles
• Offline Maps: download map areas so your maps stay available offline
• Road-Snapped Measuring: real driving, cycling and walking distances instead of straight lines
• Dropbox sync, and saving the routes you plan

NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS
• Recording, your own maps, GPX import and export, waypoints, Nextcloud and Synology sync: all free, no sign-up
• No ads, no third-party tracking
• Your data stays on your device and in your own sync target — never on our servers

FIELD WORK & SURVEYING
• Take the official sheet with you: agency GeoPDF, parcel, block or concession map
• Walk a parcel and keep the outline
• Mark samples, boundary stones and corners as waypoints with photos and coordinates
• The whole crew works from the same map — hand maps and waypoints over as a file

FOR 25+ ACTIVITIES
Hiking, trekking, mountain biking, trail running, overlanding, sailing, paddling, geocaching, ski touring and more — in metric, imperial or nautical
