Trail Tracker — GPS Blood Trail App
Mark blood sign, record your walk, and find your way back to the truck — built for wounded deer recovery in the timber.
Open app launches the tracker. GPS tracking, property lines, and Blood Detector need the one-time $9.99 purchase. Cloud backup is an optional $2.99/mo add-on after you own the full app. Install to your home screen for glove-friendly full-screen use.
The tracker on your phone
Real in-app recording — blood pins and a live GPS path. Not a mockup.
🩸 One-tap pins
First blood, heavy, last, bedded, and arrow — large buttons you can hit with gloves on.
📍 Live GPS path
See every step on the map. Distance walked and a line back to your start point.
🧭 Back to truck
Bearing and straight-line distance to your start — so you don’t get turned around.
📤 GPX export
Save hunts and export to onX, Gaia, Google Earth, or share with your tracking party.
🛰 Satellite maps
Aerial imagery like HuntingPoints — plus hybrid, topo, and street views. Tiles cache for offline use.
🌙 Dark & offline
Night-friendly UI. Works without cell signal after your first load.
📝 Pin notes
Tap any pin to add terrain, direction, or blood color — while it’s still fresh.
📷 Blood Detector
Point your camera at the ground. The app highlights possible blood-colored spots and can drop a GPS pin so you can mark sign without typing (full app).
Assists detection — not guaranteed. Always confirm blood sign with your own eyes.See the full app features
