Map My Tracks: walking tracker Reviews

by Nolahorserider

I was looking for a gps map that would track where I walk/hike/bike/ or kayak. This seems to be it. However the only thing I do not like is the unpaid version doesn’t have a map, just lines showing my path (I was leaning to use MapMyTracks ). I haven’t used it on a trail yet, as where I am at is all streets really. They have a .480ft trail that could be longer, but.... I am still not convinced that this is MapMyTracks . I love he gps, and that it shows how far so went, but I feel it should at least have some sort of map where I am.

I used it today for the first time I forgot to turn it on at the start of my walk. So I will start again tomorrow.

Love MapMyTracks but the lettering is a pale gray, almost white and very hard to see. It would be nice if it were bolder. Had the original for years. Just downloaded the walking one in hopes I could see the labels but alas.... it’s the same. Would give it five stars if this had been corrected.

MapMyTracks is great to use on hikes, runs, walks, etc. I have found the distances to be slightly off sometimes by about .25 miles, definitely worth it

I prefer MapMyTracks over other apps like Map my Walk for one major reason: after my walk is finished, I can use the “play slider” at the bottom of the map screen to see the distance for each segment of the walk I want to measure the distance of. I like all the stats it displays as well. The one thing I wish it did ( maybe it does but I haven’t seen it ) is to display the step count.
I also like the weekly and monthly totals.
Overall this is a great app and I highly recommend it!

I have tried many gps tracker apps and of them all this app beats all the rest hands down. The mapping is superb, in fact everything is superb. I am definitely going to upgrade to plus. When I walk I like to know how far I walk and MapMyTracks even tells me how fast (I should say slow as I’m 85 now) and 2 mph for me is surprisingly fast - actually I didn’t know that I could walk that fast.

Does what I need it to do on those days I can get out and off the treadmill.

I’m still learning about MapMyTracks . It works offline, which I like.

This is a great app. It does just what it says.
It maps my every “step”.
I like that it tells me not just how far I’ve hiked, but ascent and decent, as well as MPH and pace.
In addition, I can write note about my hike.

I have been using My Tracks for many years and find it to be accurate and informative.

Excellent programming. I’m enjoying being motivated by the stats MapMyTracks records. Maybe soon, I’ll even stick to my walking plan. Maybe…

No complaints, although the altitude levels may be a bit off. A walk from the same start, finish place showed a 6’ difference.

I really enjoy MapMyTracks. I can replay my walk, see how fast and slow I go. I can view the map from many different features and aerial views. I can also post my walking progress each day online. Very nice!!

Love the straightforward design and performance of MapMyTracks. Maps are quality and I like that you can do a replay of hikes/bikes showing overall time and speed at a give time.

Adding average pace and fastest pace while tracking is very much appreciated.

This tool has been not just interesting (how far did I go, and how much elevation change, and neat to show someone my route), but also helped me find where I had left the car at the start of a hike in an area that was very new to me!
(No need to leave a trail of bread crumbs.)

I used to be an avid hiker. After a resent transplant Surgery and recovery I needed to get back in shape. MapMyTracks was perfect to keep track of my hikes and walks. It’s super easy to use and it keeps track of everything from average speed, top speed, elevation change. It uses the phones GPS and I feel it’s way more accurate than the apps that use cadence. Pretty cool as you can add photos and share the map it produces to friends.
