App to track daily progress

[Mananath]

Hi-
Any recommendations for an android app that can track and provide a daily report of my progress? I don't need it for on the go mapping just something at the end of the day that can generate a graph with the elevation profile for the day, distance walked, elevation gained and time etc. Basically, stats.

Ideally it would be free and could work in airplane mode.

Thanks
M

Hi, we used an app called "Map My Walk" by Amour. It is simple to use and provides the essential stats. I don't know if it has a online aspect, if it does, we didn't use it. I've attached a few screenshots to show you the stats.

It is free and does not require internet access. It just needs for the GPS to be activated.

I have used Komoot and find it very good

Strava.com is really good for recording activities

I use "map my walk" each day.

It should provide all you need.

You'll have a more natural experience without App's. - I know it's inconceivable, but true.

Could try a notebook and pencil.

OP was not looking for recommendations whether or not to use an app.

I'm testing different apps at home now and have think Map my walk has been the easiest. One thing others do is let me take pictures along the route as I record it, which is nice. But they seem to do lower resolution, so I have not found a way around that yet (Wikiloc, Gaia GPS). While using in airplane mode should not impact your tracking (GPS), it may impact the map downloads if you can not use offline maps. For Wikiloc I paided $10 a year to download the maps. I Have not finished testing but just consider the offline maps so you can use in airplane mode. Just so you are aware of some of the apps out there, I've downloaded these: Organic Maps, Mapy.cz, Komoot, AllTrails, Gaia GPS, Wikiloc, MapMyWalk; so far to try.

I'm pretty happy with relive.cc

Ha. I did that on my last Camino but I want the fancy elevation profiles for the Norte.

Last year I met a pilgrim who was very proud of the fact that he was doing the whole thing off line without relying on the internet. Of course he had no problems asking me to look up stuff for him on my phone.

Which is just to say while I appreciate it might be better without an app it isn't for me.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I have downloaded a few and will be testing them out before I start walking.. next week! Yippee.

Keen to hear which works best for you. I hope you report back.

I use MapMyWalk on trails for several years now and it works perfectly to my needs.

I have used both Strava and mapmywalk. They're both good for tracking basic stats plus GPS tracks of your walks.

A few days ago I set out from Irun on the Norte route with 4 tracking apps going. Needless to say battery life was tight.

In the end I decided to go with the Relive app because it provided all the stats I wanted but also turns the route into a 3D map which I think is cool, esp on such a hilly route. It also incorporates pics which makes for a nice way to share the day with friends and family etc.

Here is the one I made for my 3rd day:

Relive 'Day 3: Zarautz to Deba via the Flysch route'

@Mananath, does it automatically incorporate the photos, or do you add them in later? Does it work offline- eg in airplane mode?
What were the three you discarded?
Thanks!

It works in the background to track your route but you need an internet connection to produce the video. When you make the video it goes through all of your r photos for the walk and asks which ones you want to include. It's pretty easy to use.
