Open Road

A drive tracker app that keeps every drive

Open Road is a drive tracker app for iPhone and Android that records your drives and keeps the route, time, distance and top speed in one drive log. Every recorded road also joins your map of places you have driven.

Free to download. Open Road Pro is optional, with a 3-day trial on the yearly plan.

Open Road drive history with a calendar and a saved route — Your saved drives, with the route, date and distance.

Choosing the best drive tracker for your drives

The best drive tracker depends on what you want to keep. If it is your personal driving history, Open Road brings together automatic drive recording, a drive log and a map of the roads you have driven. It is available on both iPhone and Android. This is our own app, so this guide explains its fit rather than claiming an independent ranking.

Automatic recording, then a drive log

Set up recording and the location permissions in the app before you leave. Open Road records your drives automatically, so you can look back at the route, distance, time and top speed after you park. Open the drive log to find a drive by day.

Every road on one map

A single drive tells you where you went that day. Your map of roads driven brings your recorded roads together, so you can see familiar routes and places you have explored. The drive log and the road map are two views of the same driving history.

A fit for personal drives

Open Road is built for keeping your drives. It does not offer business trip labels or tax reports. If those are your main requirement, choose a dedicated work mileage tool. For your own drives, you can also see friends on the live map, join convoys and use CarPlay with iPhone.
