NomadTracks: GPS Map Tracker

Offline GPS tracker for hiking & touring — GPX import and your own paper maps

Overview

Features & Capabilities

NomadTracks is an offline GPS tracker for hiking, biking, overlanding, and sailing — with a specialty no other app does this simply: bring your OWN maps. Import a GeoPDF, a scanned topographic map, or even a photo of a paper map, georeference it in the app, and navigate on it fully offline with your live position.

RECORDING

• Attach photos to your tracks and POIs
• Live map with scale bar, compass, and coordinates
• Distance measurement on the map
• Live stats in the notification while recording

YOUR OWN MAPS, OFFLINE (our specialty)
• Import georeferenced GeoPDF and PDF maps — they align automatically
• Take a photo of a paper hiking map and georeference it in-app with control points
• Alignment accuracy shown in meters (RMS)
