Hi all! I'm a solo dev (and a runner myself), after 1.5 years of development, I finally launched GPS Mapper, a powerful iOS app for recording GPS trails and mapping the outdoors (custom grids, routes, pins, image overlays, friend sharing, and more).

I started building it from a simple idea: wouldn't it be cool to know where I've been and haven't been around my city, neighbourhood, etc. As I developed it, I looked at what was out there for trail tracking/recording; I'm a runner, so this mattered to me personally. It struck me that there hadn't been much innovation in the GPS tracking/mapping space in a while, especially in presentation & design. So I took on the challenge of building a genuine competitor!

App Overview

Map elements:

• Trails: record GPS tracks + playback
• Grids: lay a tiled region over an area and watch cells fill in as you pass through them (rectangular or freeform)
• Pins: custom icons, colors, etc.
• Routes: built from waypoints
• Ranges: two-point distance measurements
• Image Overlays: place photos as overlays on the map

  Beyond the map:

• Live map dashboard with configurable metrics
• Photos on the map
• Friend location sharing
• Analytics dashboard
• Grouping and tagging for organizing your elements
• Apple Health / Fitness integration
• iCloud sync
• Import and export of your data
• Configurable units
• UI customization options
• Built-in tutorials
• 8 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese

and much more.

Pricing (for transparency):

• Free: element caps, with some premium features locked
• Premium: $4.99/month or $29.99/year (2 week free trial)

I packed in as much as I could for launch, with watchOS support and various other features planned for upcoming updates.

I'm on a mission to build one of the best outdoor tracker apps on the App Store, so if you have any recommendations: feature requests, feedback, whatever you'd want as a runner; I'd genuinely love to hear them!

My intention isn't to just be a drive-by promo; I really do want to make something good for people in this space :)

If you think you'd benefit from it, the app is free & also has an optional 2-week trial gives you full premium to try everything out. Feel free to comment or DM me with any thoughts!
