Discovery vs. recording

These apps solve different problems. AllTrails answers 'where should I hike?'. TrailTrackr answers 'what did I actually walk?'. Many people use a discovery app to choose a route and a recorder to log it.

Built for long walks

TrailTrackr's logbook is designed for long-distance and multi-day hikes: a dashboard to filter all walks, zoomable graphs, and segments so you can focus on a single stage.

Battery and background tracking

Recording continues with the screen locked, with adjustable sampling intervals, a distance filter and a battery-saver preset for all-day tracking.
