Round Trips
Tell the app how far you feel like going and it draws a loop that brings you back where you started — on foot, by bike, motorcycle or car. No fiddling with waypoints.
Plan round-trips in one-click. Record every road you take.
An iOS app that records every walk, run, ride and drive — and turns it into a living map of everywhere you've been. No subscription or account required. Just your map, growing one path at a time.

Built for the road, not the dashboard.
The Long Way is what you wish your maps app remembered for you. Quiet, offline-friendly, and obsessed with the details.
World Map, Painted as You Move
Every trip colours in the roads you travel, so you can see at a glance where you've already been. Let it record automatically, or start and stop trips yourself.
Automatic Recording
The app wakes up on its own when you start moving and keeps recording in the background. No more "forgot to press start" — every ride and walk ends up on your map.
Route Builder
Draw a route point by point, or load a GPX someone sent you and make it your own. Reverse it, trim it, drag a leg onto a better road, then export it when it's exactly right.
Navigation
Drop a pin on any point and get on-road directions from where you are right now. Follow the route on the live map until you arrive.
Tracks Editor
GPS isn't perfect. Move stray points, delete bad ones, or cut a route into pieces — polish every track until the map shows what really happened.
Export and Import
Take any trip out as a GPX file, or bring in tracks you recorded elsewhere. Your data stays portable — to your backup, your bike computer, or another app.
Privacy First
Your travels never leave your phone. No data sharing, no uploads, no analytics on where you've been — delete the app and the data goes with it.
Free
Every feature is free — no subscriptions, no paywall. If you want to support the app, a small donation unlocks cosmetic looks for the UI. That's it.
See it on your phone
A closer look at the screens you'll actually use.
No mock-ups of features that don't exist. Everything below is a screen you'll open in the app, in the order we think you'll reach for it.
01Round trips
Say how far. Get a loop back home.
Pick a distance and a way of travelling, and the app draws a full circuit that starts and ends at your door. Don't like it? Ask again and you get a different loop.
- Set the distance, not a pile of waypoints
- Separate loops for walking, cycling, motorcycle and car
02World map
Every road you finish changes colour.
Your trips aren't buried in a list — they're painted onto the map itself. Zoom out and the shape of everywhere you've been is right there, one road at a time.
- Roads stay coloured, trip after trip
- Colour-coded by how you travelled it
03Automatic recording
It starts itself when you start moving.
Leave it switched on and the app notices you're under way, records the whole trip in the background, and paints the roads when you stop. Nothing to remember, nothing to press.
- Keeps recording while the app is closed
- Ignores GPS jitter, so parked time never becomes a trip
04Route builder
Build a route, or take one apart.
Tap out a route point by point, or import a GPX a friend sent you. Then reshape it — reverse the direction, cut a leg, drag a corner onto the road you'd rather ride — and export it back out.
- Import a GPX and edit it like your own
- Reverse, trim, or redraw any part of the line
05Navigation
Directions from wherever you're standing.
Drop a pin anywhere on the map and follow on-road directions to it, with your position moving live on the map as you go.
- Route to any point you can see
- Live position on the map the whole way
06Tracks editor
Fix what the GPS got wrong.
Every recorded track is editable. Pull a wandering point back onto the road, delete the ones that jumped a block, split a track where you stopped for lunch.
- Drag, delete, or insert individual points
- Split one long recording into the trips it really was
07Export and import
Your tracks, in a file you own.
Send any trip out as a GPX through the normal iOS share sheet, and bring in tracks from a bike computer or another app. Nothing is locked in here.
- Standard GPX out, standard GPX in
- Works with your backup, your Garmin, your spreadsheet
