Exporting

Export your tracks to use in other apps like Google Earth, Strava, or any GIS tool.

Export Formats

Format	Best For	Notes
GPX	Hiking apps, Strava, Garmin	GPS Exchange Format—the universal standard
KML	Google Earth	Opens directly in Google Earth with styled lines
CSV	Spreadsheets	Opens in Excel, Numbers, or any data tool
GeoJSON	Web mapping, GIS	For developers and mapping applications
Image (PNG)	Sharing, social media	High-resolution map image of your route

Image Export

The Image (PNG) option generates a high-resolution map showing your route as a blue polyline with waypoints marked as red dots. The image dimensions automatically adapt to your route's shape—wide for east-west routes, tall for north-south routes—with uniform padding around the edges.

This is ideal for sharing your route on social media or in messages without requiring recipients to have any special software.

How to Export

Open a saved track's details
Tap the Share button (top-right)
Choose your export format (including Image)
Use the iOS share sheet to save or send the file

Alternatively, long-press a track in the list and choose Export to use your default format.

Default Format

Set your preferred export format in Settings → Export → Default Format. This is used for:

Quick export from the context menu
Save & Export when finishing a track
Bulk export of multiple tracks

Export Options

Configure these in Settings → Export:

Point Simplification

Reduces file size by removing redundant points while preserving the overall shape of your route. Uses the Douglas-Peucker algorithm with speed-adaptive tolerance—more detail is kept during slow movement, less during fast travel.

Off: Export all recorded points
On: Simplify based on speed (default)

Segment Colors

When enabled, each segment (created when you pause/resume) gets a different color in KML and GeoJSON exports. This makes it easy to see separate legs of your journey in Google Earth.

Privacy Trimming

Removes points near the start and end of your track to hide your exact departure/arrival locations. Useful when sharing tracks publicly.

Setting	Effect
Off	Export all points
100m	Remove points within 100m of start/end
250m	Remove points within 250m
500m	Remove points within 500m
1km	Remove points within 1km
2km	Remove points within 2km
