GeoCorder
GPS tracks as GPX, shared live
$1.99 · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
A GPS track recorder that gives you files, not a feed. GPX, KML, GeoJSON, CSV; waypoints; live position sharing to your own server.
GeoCorder records where you went, keeps it as files you own, and can tell a server of your choosing where you are right now.
No GeoCorder account. No ads. No analytics. Keep tracks locally or sync your library through your iCloud Drive. Export your tracks whenever you want — your tracks are your data.
RECORD
Press record. GeoCorder stores every position fix with its GPS altitude, barometric altitude, speed, course and accuracy, in the background, with a Live Activity on the Lock Screen. Pause and resume, mark spots with a name and a note, stop. Recording survives the app being killed. An accuracy graph shows the last minute of fixes, so you always know whether the receiver has a real GPS fix or is guessing from cell towers. Filters drop the jitter while you stand still and the jumps when GPS drops out, so the distance counts like an odometer.
KEEP
A library with a drawing of every path. Maps coloured by speed or elevation, statistics, elevation profile and speed chart with a scrubber, waypoints, notes, and the weather along the track hour by hour. Import GPX files recorded elsewhere. On iPad, the library sits beside the map.
EXPORT
GPX 1.1 with timestamps, elevation, speed, course and accuracy — everything else reads it. KML and KMZ with a Google Earth time slider. GeoJSON. CSV. Plain, gzip or zip. Through the share sheet to AirDrop, Files, Mail, Messages and any app that takes a file.
FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS
Took photos with a real camera? Every point carries a precise timestamp and its own accuracy, so the exported GPX geotags your RAW files in Lightroom, HoudahGeo or exiftool exactly as it always has.
SHARE LIVE
Send your position on a schedule to a URL you write yourself — GET or POST, JSON or form, with placeholders for every value and headers for API keys — or use the presets for Traccar, OwnTracks, Nextcloud PhoneTrack and Home Assistant. A send log shows exactly what happened. Sharing works with or without a recording.
APPLE WATCH AND SIRI
Leave the phone in your pocket or on the handlebar. The Apple Watch app starts, pauses and stops the recording on your iPhone, marks a waypoint where you stand, and shows time, distance and climb at a glance; a complication puts it on your watch face. Or ask Siri: "Start recording in GeoCorder", "Pause my GeoCorder track", "Save my GeoCorder track", "Send my location with GeoCorder". The same actions are in the Shortcuts app for automations of your own.
ALSO
Metric, imperial and nautical units. Coordinates as decimal degrees, degrees and minutes, or DMS. iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
GEOCORDER PRO
Recording, the library, the map, statistics and GPX export are free. One purchase adds KML, KMZ, GeoJSON and CSV export, compression, charts and unlimited live-sharing destinations. No subscription.
GeoCorder first appeared on the App Store in 2009. Version 2 is a complete rewrite with the same idea at its heart: your tracks are your data.
Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite, seventeen years after 1.0.
Everything you used GeoCorder for still works the way it did: press record, and get a
GPX file with time stamps. Around that, almost everything is new.
RECORDING
• Every fix is stored with GPS altitude, barometric altitude, speed, course and its
horizontal and vertical accuracy.
• Activities are detected automatically: walking, running, cycling and driving are told
apart by the motion coprocessor, the track is labelled when you stop, and mixed
outings show their legs on a strip. Older tracks and imports can be tagged from the
last seven days of history.
• Mark spots along the way with a name and note; they become GPX waypoints.
• A Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island shows distance, time and
climb while you record.
• Recording survives the app being killed: the track is recovered on the next launch.
• The accuracy graph is back, one mark per fix, so you can see when GPS is guessing.
• The place you are at and the current weather are shown as you record, and saved with
the track.
YOUR TRACKS
• A library with a drawing of each path, search, notes and activity types.
• Maps coloured by speed or elevation, statistics, an elevation profile and a speed
chart with a scrubber that moves a marker on the map.
• Weather along the track, hour by hour.
• Import GPX files from Files, Mail or AirDrop.
EXPORT
• GPX 1.1 with speed, course and accuracy; KML and KMZ with a Google Earth time slider;
GeoJSON; CSV. Plain, gzip or zip.
• Through the share sheet: AirDrop, Files, Mail, Messages, anything that takes a file.
LIVE SHARING
• Send your position to your own server with a URL you write yourself (GET or POST,
with placeholders), or with presets for Traccar, OwnTracks, Nextcloud PhoneTrack and
Home Assistant. A send log shows what happened.
ALSO
• iPad layout with the library beside the map.
• Metric, imperial and nautical units; decimal, degrees-minutes or DMS coordinates.
• Shortcuts: start, pause, stop, send my location.
• No GeoCorder account, no ads, no analytics. Optional iCloud Drive library sync.
GeoCorder is now free. GeoCorder Pro — the extra export formats, compression, charts and
unlimited sharing destinations — is a one-time purchase, no subscription.
