For iPhone & Apple Watch

Find your
way back.

Save a spot with one tap, then let GoBack bring you back to it: a compass that points the way, your own breadcrumb trail, and maps that work offline. For your car, your camp or the summit.

The film

GoBack in under a minute.

Narrated and drawn from the real app. Turn the sound on, or watch it full screen on your computer or iPhone.

How it works

Three steps.
Then wander freely.

Parked in a big city, camping off the grid or heading up a trail: mark where you started, and GoBack always knows the way home.

The compass

Points the way.
Counts it down.

Every saved place sits on the dial ring in its own color. The arrow points at your target, the center shows how far it is, and GoBack tells you which way to turn.

Up to 10 targets at once

Car, camp and summit on one dial, each in its own color.

Beep, haptics and voice

Spoken guidance with distance, turns and arrival while GoBack is on screen. Great with AirPods.

Smooth, steady heading

Gyro-fused heading that re-anchors to the compass when you stand still, referenced to true north so it matches the map.

Distance in steps

Metric or imperial, plus a step count for the last stretch.

Turn left 63°
Your places

Every spot that matters, one tap away.

Save where you parked, your tent, the trailhead or that pizza place. Each one shows its distance and bearing, live.

Parking meter timer

Set when the meter runs out and get a reminder before it does.

Share in, share out

Share an Apple Maps or Google Maps link to GoBack to save it. Send a place to a friend, or open it in Apple Maps, Google Maps or Waze.

Military grid coordinates

Standard, MGRS, or both side by side, for search and rescue or the outdoors.

Backed up to your iCloud

Places and settings follow you to a new iPhone, in your own private iCloud.

The map

Satellite detail.
Even off the grid.

See all your places and the straight line back to each one, on standard, satellite, hybrid or muted maps.

Offline maps

Download the area before you go, so the map still works where there's no signal.

Apple Weather

See current conditions and forecasts for your saved places, with Apple Weather attribution and data-source links in the app.

Search and save

Find a place, drop a waypoint, and navigate to it with the compass.

Track & retrace

Your trail, recorded.
Your way, retraced.

Record a walk, run, ride or drive. GoBack draws it in color by speed and keeps every trip, and when it's time to head home it can lead you back along the exact path you came.

Retrace your steps

Follow your own breadcrumbs back to the start, or forward to where you stopped.

Distance, pace and elevation

Live stats, climb and descent, and a trip history to look back on.

Pause, lock, keep going

Records in the background with the screen off. Pauses don't count toward distance or time.

Export as GPX

Take your route to any mapping or fitness app.
