GPXCompass · For Android

Navigate every trail.
Stay connected.

GPS companion for hikers and cyclists who rely on mobile coverage. Follow GPX routes with live Google Maps, real-time deviation alerts and emergency signal monitoring — all in one clean, minimal app.

Designed for trails where
signal matters.

Unlike dedicated offline tools, GPXCompass is built for the scenarios where mobile coverage is available — and focuses on making sure you always know when it's not.

01 · Safety
Signal awareness built in

Instant visual and audio alerts when mobile coverage is lost or restored. You'll always know your ability to call for help, without checking signal bars constantly.

02 · Clarity
Maps you can trust

Live Google Maps — never a static offline snapshot. Always current, always accurate. Switch between normal, terrain, satellite and hybrid with a single tap.

03 · Simplicity
Minimal by design

Only the core tools are exposed. The app stays out of your way and speaks up only when something important changes — so you can focus on the trail.

Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

GPXCompass is intentionally minimal — every feature earns its place. The interface stays readable even in bright sunlight, on tired eyes, or when you're moving fast.
