NomadTracks for road trips & overlanding

The expedition diary that writes itself

Overlanding lives on gravel roads that map apps barely know and in parks where the only good map is the paper one at the gate. NomadTracks records every leg, keeps camp and fuel POIs, and turns that gate map into a live overlay — see the 4,250 km Namibia expedition below for the proof.

Leg-by-leg expedition log

Each day is a track with distance, elevation and time. The whole trip lines up in a folder — your route, reconstructable forever.

Park maps over empty basemaps

Etosha, Khaudum, any national park: photograph the ranger map, georeference it, and your blue dot drives across it — fully offline.

Camps, water, fuel as POIs

Pin the campsites, waterholes and fuel stops with notes and photos. Export the lot as GPX for the next traveler.

Questions

FAQ

Does recording work for days without any signal?

Yes — GPS recording is fully offline. The Namibia expedition on this site was recorded through three weeks with barely any coverage.

Can I keep the phone mounted and the screen off?

Yes — recording continues in the background, with live stats on the Lock Screen whenever you glance at it.

Is it suitable for motorcycling?

Yes — among the 25+ activity categories are driving, motorcycling and overlanding; the recording engine is the same precise one throughout.
