Those of you who’ve followed me for a while know from previous posts that I use an app called My Tracks by Google to track my sailing outings. It’s a great, no frills app that simply works. One thing I also like about it is that once I’m finished sailing, the app has a function that allows me to export the statistics directly to my Google Sheets Sailing Log. All I’ve ever used for tracking my stats is My Tracks.
So needless to say when I logged into my app a few days ago and saw this warning, I was a bit disappointed.
Unfortunately, now I have the pleasure of seeking out a different app to keep track of my sailing stats.
Google recommends a few alternatives, a couple of which I’ve already tried out a little. I’ll be posting my results of testing those apps that make the shortlist later.
In the meantime, what app or apps do you use to track your sailing?

I haven’t even started looking at apps yet as my sailboat is still in the intensive care unit (my drive-way) lol but I will stay tuned to see which one you recommend.
Thanks, Good post!

I had hoped to get out today for some sailing, but it’s 2 mph right now and only forecasted for 5 mph later. I need a bit more than that for a good sailing day.
I might have to ride my bike to test out tracking apps. ☺
I’ve used Map My Tracks a bunch. It works great and I can export map information easily. I track runs, bike rides, and our sailing with it.
