Tracky

Tracky is a great navigation utility for many outdoor activities, like hiking, (mountain)biking, skiing, driving, sailing, and even golf, city trips, and geo-caching.
You have full insight in where you were, where you are, and how to get where you like to be.


Information like altitude, speed, and distance is available at any moment. You can store the location of you favorite Points Of Interest (POIs), e.g., home, nice view points, etc. Tracky draws the track you are traveling, together with previously recorded and downloaded tracks. By projecting the tracks onto your favorite maps from e.g. Google Earth or TerraExplorer, you can follow tracks and navigate to any POI. Most features are already useful without maps.

Tracky computes the distance to your POIs. E.g., golfers can measure the length of there strokes, or the remaining distance to the hole or any hazard. The advanced compass is a powerful tool for e.g. geo-caching. You can analyze tracks with speed/altitude/G-force/etc. graphs and export this data to e.g. MS Excel. Check its features, you may be surprised by some unique features like a slope and a G-force meter.

Tracky runs on any PocketPC (PDA) with an NMEA-0183 compatible GPS receiver (wired, BlueTooth, or built-in). It supports several de facto standards for tracks, POIs, and maps. You can share these with your friends and you can even down- and upload them to the many existing internet sites, and profit from the wide availability of tools for editing and analysis.
