About World Uncovered
World Uncovered tracks your travels for you and maps them in vivid detail. It will show you where you’ve been, how fast and how high you were going, and how often you’ve returned to your favorite places. Can you walk every block in your city? Climb all the mountains in your area? How many countries have you visited? What landmarks have you seen? Find out, with World Uncovered.
Features:
- Record your travels using your phone or almost any other GPS-enabled device
- 4 map display modes show you: where you've been; how fast you got there; how high it was; and how often you've revisited your favourite spots.
- Speed map, height map and routes mode all present your travels in vivid colour
- Score points and earn achievements: whether you're a beginner or an expert, we'll help you set goals and take your vacation game to the next level.
- When you visit some of the world's most famous landmarks, you'll score bonus points, and keep a record of when you were there for posterity.
- GPX and KML support: any GPS device using either of these standard formats is compatible with World Uncovered
- Compete with your friends with Game Center integration
- Fog of World user? You can import your data to World Uncovered and pick up where you left off
- Battery efficient: We understand that charging opportunities are few and far between when you're on the go, so we've built our app with the goal of maximizing battery life.
World Uncovered is a simple concept with the potential to go far. The world is yours to discover and our app is the perfect tool to help you do it, and make the experience even more fun. Start with a map that’s completely covered, and uncover locations by visiting them. Change up your routine and find ways of going places you’ve never been. Take a different route to work or school. Take a bike ride through the countryside. Travel. What better day to start the journey of a lifetime than today?
Travel. Explore. Uncover!
Whether you’re making a trip across town or across the ocean, World Uncovered will lead you to visit places you’ve never seen. The more you travel, the more your map begins to paint a picture of your life. Are you a wanderer or a creature of habit? A jet-setter or a mountain climber? Whatever your style of travel, World Uncovered will push you to reach new horizons and seek out new experiences.
Please note: This app may use your location even when it isn’t open, which can decrease device battery life.

Major update: Trips! You can now split your travels into individual trips and manage and view those trips separately.
Your current trip is shown in color on the map. You can end it and start a new trip at any time. Mark trips as favorites to make them easy to find later to review or show your friends. You can also delete unimportant trips to reduce clutter while still keeping the areas you’ve visited uncovered on the global map.
Fix for iOS 9.3.5.

World Uncovered - Anniversary Update!
World Uncovered is one year old! To celebrate this we added new landmarks and features to our app:
- 15 new landmarks
- Saving routes as GPX files - this is a new feature and at the moment it is a bit experimental - but you asked and we added it. A new file is created each time you record a trip. Move them to your Dropbox account to free up disk space on your iPhone and make use them. You can import our files into other apps or share your routes with friends.
- Speed map colouring improved - speed colours mix even nicer, so the map looks better.
- Dark mode for satellite views
Enjoy! And don’t forget to rate the app!

v1.2 is already in the works, and will include even more new features and landmarks.
