Mobile GPS Tracking Service

See more tracks at a glance!

Meet hot update on GPSed.com. Now our users have new and very useful possibility to search GPSed tracks all over the world right on a map!

To find GPSed tracks directly on a map please sign in to your GPSed account and zoom a map in a place you like. On a certain zoom level you’ll  see semi-transparent track lines. These are the tracks by other users which are situated in a visible area. Put mouse cursor over the one of these lines and it’ll become wider (doesn’t work under IE). Click on a track to get it’s details:  author, distance, duration, geo information (country, area and city) and track’s content information, including number or waypoints, photos and comments. In this dialog you can open track or view it in details.

Surely not all GPSed  tracks are visible on a certain zoom level otherwise service usage become inconvenient. Only the most popular tracks in the current map viewport are shown.

How can it be useful? You can search for tracks in an area you are interested in, read comments and impressions by other GPSed users. This will certainly help you to create your own tracks or to plan your trip! Another great use case is to discover tracks of other GPSed authors around your own one.

We highly appreciate your comments and feedback!

Very good idea!

Tim Says:

I agree with Rocky, I would like to be able to turn this feature off or on.

Thanks you all for your kind feedback. We are working right now to make this feature possible. I’m awaiting new “Map Toolbar” in a few weeks. This toolbar will allow you to turn on/off any additional GPSed layers like “semi-transparent” tracks, Panoramio photos, track markers and others
