Replace your old hand-held hiking / running / biking GPS with Retrace. Retrace makes it simple to record a GPS log of your activities. Simple displays highlight distance, speed, and elevation changes. If you have data, the map tab shows you where you are on the map; if you do not have data (or have it disabled to save battery), a grid-based view is presented. Elevation profiles are also shown, and any waypoints along your track will be added to the elevation profile so you can better understand where they happened.

Retrace caches the most recent 500 map tiles for offline use, so you can pan the map around the area you will be going in advance of your trip and not require any data while you are on your activity.

Extensive sharing functionality is built into Retrace. With our free online portal, you can easily share your track with Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, or any other social network.

Furthermore, Retrace offers optional anonymous online tracking if you wish to upload your current position automatically every few minutes for your loved ones or friends to track your progress. No username is required, and you can optionally password-protect your location.

If you ever encounter any issues, questions, or suggestions, the options page has a 'send feedback' button.

Retrace is great for:

  • biking
  • running
  • hiking
  • walking
  • downhill/x-country skiing
  • off-roading (ATV, motorcycle, etc.)
  • tracking flights / road trips
  • horseback riding
  • canoeing / kayaking
  • golfing
  • rock climbing / mountaineering
  • nordic walking
  • stroller walking / stroller running
  • any other activity you want to record

Retrace supports a variety of export options:

  • Strava
  • GPX: Used online e.g., RunTracker/Endomondo
  • KML: Used by services like Google Earth

Tracks can also be imported into Retrace using the popular GPX format so that you can follow them on your activities (e.g., you can export a Strava route and import it into Retrace).

Your full track library can also be easily exported so it can be migrated to a new device.

Retrace also makes it easy to tag your activities so it is easy to go back and look at tracks for past activities.

A variety of configuration options are provided to configure Retrace exactly for you! Locations can be given in Lat/Lon, UTM, MGRS, or UK Grid Ref. Distance can be displayed in km, mi, or nm. Speed can be in km/h, mi/h or knots.

Retrace permissions only require the ability to track your location and save your tracks; the network permissions are optional and are only used if you want to export your tracks to another service.

Strava note: If you tag your track as 'commute,' it will be uploaded as a commute.
