Solo Trip

When I walk on roads and trails, all I wanted was an app which tracks the distance and shows my path on a map. That without any fancy bells and whistles. Even better it’s free and no ads. Can’t ask more. Technically, if I don’t make sense, what this app provides is exactly what all I wanted. 💯% Update (Nov 2024): After many years if using it, it’s still my favorite best and exactly what I wanted. ❤️

I selected this application because of its simplicity and ease of use. It provides accurate data on distance traveled either walking, biking or driving. I use it to track my work mileage and download the data to a CSV file and upload it into Excel. If my company needs any additional information that isn’t already provided by Solo Trip, I just add it at that time. My wife just recently downloaded the app and has been using it to measure distance and record route traveled while biking. If you want a solid app for measuring and recording travel, I definitely recommend Solo Trip. By the way, it is free.

Pretty easy to use. Not many features, but one thing that does need fixing is the time zone settings. All my trips in my time zone (east coast U.S.) are not listing correct times. If i start a trip at 9:00, it will list that I have started at 10:00. I have to set my settings for a different time zone in order for my results will show the time it is here. Then each trip I have to reset time zone again. Very very annoying which may influence me to find another mile tracker. Fix that and I’ll change my rating to 5 stars. I do like the tone play after each mile.
