About Retrace AR
Retrace AR is a real-time GPS tracing app that allows you to retrace your walk, run, bike ride or drive. Its advanced geolocation function accurately traces your path live and provides directions back to the start of your journey or any location you desire. Retrace AR's Save with Photo feature allows you to take a photo of a place, building, signage or even a selfie to associate your trace or location with. Retrace AR is equipped with a fully functioning map utility that allows you to navigate in Augmented Reality (AR).
Retrace AR can be used to trace your run in the park, walk through a foreign city, get directions back to your parked car, save the address of your new favorite bar, and many more.
