How to View Your Trip History, Route Maps, Charts and Share Cards

TL;DR

The Trips tab lists saved trips; open one for the route map, speed and elevation charts and stats. Share it as an image card. History is unlimited and free, and syncs through your private iCloud.

The problem

You remember a lovely drive but not where it went, how fast you really were on the straight, or how much you climbed. A trip you can’t look back at is a trip you may as well not have recorded.

Steps

  1. Open the Trips tab and tap a trip.
  2. Read the summary: date, distance, duration, max and average speed, climb.
  3. Explore the route map and the speed and elevation charts.
  4. Tap Share as Image to create a card of the route.

Postcards

Trip cards are drawn as postcards: your route on a map, in the colour of the sky at the hour you drove. The sky colour comes from the sun’s angle at your location, not the clock, so a morning drive and a night drive look different.

Keeping history

  • Trips are stored in the app and synced through your private iCloud (no SpeedTrace servers).
  • Export a trip as GPX or CSV (see the export guide).
  • Delete trips you no longer want from the list.

Tip

Use the charts to find where you slowed down or the steepest climb; tap the chart to see values at that point.
