NomadTracks: GPS Map Tracker

Offline navigation & recording

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Bring your own maps. NomadTracks opens georeferenced PDF, GeoPDF and GeoTIFF maps — unlimited and free — and shows your live GPS position on them, fully offline. Then it records where you went. Map not georeferenced? A scan, a plain PDF, even a photo of a paper map: set a few control points and NomadTracks aligns it in about two minutes, with a live accuracy readout. No account, no ads, no map limit. Record your tracks, mark points of interest, plan routes, navigate any track you own, and keep everything organized and backed up.
