Anywhere, or on the move.

SimBuddy’s Location workspace: Latitude and Longitude with Set and Clear, and a route of 3 points and 3.0 km loaded, at Walk, with Play route
The Location workspace.

A route at a real pace.

Import GPX loads a track, a route or Xcode’s own waypoint file, and Play route moves the device along it. Pause, resume, or Stop and clear.

A GPX file can hold several disconnected tracks; Segment picks one. Loop the route starts again from the first point instead of stopping at the end.

  • Walk, Run, Cycle, City drive and Freeway
  • The progress, and how long the route takes at that speed
  • Home lists the location while it is set, and Reset all clears it

Routes your agent can play.
