Start It. Pocket It. Hike.

Track-O-Tron records where you actually went — with the screen locked, the phone in your pocket, and your data on your phone.

Pocket-Proof Recording

Keeps recording with the screen off, through every switchback. Pause at lunch, resume after — the gap isn't bridged and doesn't count on your log.

Live Instrument Panel

Distance, moving time, speed, pace, altitude, and coordinates — updating as you move, in the units of your choosing.

The Full Report

Every saved track gets a map, altitude profile, speed graph, total ascent and descent, and milestones crossed.

GPX Export

Share any track as a standard GPX file. Geotag your photos with Geotag-O-Tron, or view your tracks, format and print them using GPX-O-Tron.

Walk, Run, Bike, Drive

Four activities, each with its own GPS tuning to preserve battery life. Switch mid-track to accurately track a drive to a hike.

Distance Milestones

Travel farther than the length of the Golden Gate Bridge and the app will tell you so, mid-hike. 91 milestones, up to the circumference of the Earth.

The final log

The Whole Shape
Of The Day

Stop recording and the track becomes a report: the route on a map, an altitude profile, a speed graph, and statistics that don't exaggerate — GPS jitter is filtered before it becomes phantom climbing.

Paused stretches are excluded from distance, time, and both graphs. Lunch doesn't count as mileage.

Total Ascent 0 FT
Total Descent 0 FT
Max Speed 0 MPH

Total ascent uses a noise gate.
Standing still is not mountaineering.

Measure Things
Your Way

Six ways to express how far you went. Two of them are sensible.

  • Metric
  • Imperial
  • Fathoms
  • Furlongs
  • Smoots
  • Giraffes

Reports your speed in giraffes per hour.
It runs in the family — Altim-O-Tron measures altitude the same way.
