How to Record a Track and Export GPX on iPhone

TL;DR

MGRS GPS records breadcrumb tracks with distance, elevation gain, and time, then exports them as GPX — so you can log where you went and hand the track to any GPX-aware tool afterward.

Steps

In MGRS GPS, start track recording before you set off.
Move — the app logs a breadcrumb track with distance, elevation, and time.
Stop recording when you’re done.
Export the track as GPX.
Share or open it in another mapping tool for analysis.

Why it works this way

A track is a record of where you actually went — useful for retracing a route, proving coverage on a search, or reviewing a hike. MGRS GPS logs the breadcrumb with the stats that matter (distance, elevation, time) on device, so it works with no signal, and exports standard GPX so the record isn’t locked inside the app.

Tips & edge cases

Start recording early so the track captures the whole route.
GPX export opens the track to countless other tools.
Elevation gain is logged alongside distance and time for review.

FAQ

Can I export the track? Yes. Export it as GPX to share or analyze in other tools.

Does recording work offline? Yes. Track recording uses device GPS, so it works without a signal.
