GPS PROOF · RAIL LOG

The lines you ride
fill in on the map.

Train Net records your railway rides with GPS. There are no stations to check off by hand — only the segments you actually rode fill in on the map.

01HOW IT WORKS

Ride. Get off.
That’s the whole log.

Train Net works out the segments you rode from the stations you passed between start and stop. There are no stations to tick off by hand.

1START

Start before you board

Begin recording from the home screen. A Live Activity keeps the recording visible so you never forget it’s running.

2RIDE

Then just ride

The app does not keep GPS running the whole way — it picks up the stations you pass, so battery use stays low even on long trips.

3STOP

Stop when you get off

The order of the stations you passed rebuilds your route. Through services onto another line keep recording, and tunnels are bridged from the stations either side.

02FEATURES

A log that carries weight.

Because this map can't be painted by self-reporting, every line on it means something.

Only GPS counts

No manual check-offs. By accepting only rides you actually took, "I’ve ridden them all" finally means something.

Ride more, paint more

Every segment you ride is added to your rail map in color. The blank lines become your next destination.

Detection is automatic

No need to choose a line or station. High-speed rail, subways, long tunnels — segments are inferred from your trace.

05FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q1Can I check off rides manually?

No. Train Net only accepts rides proven by a GPS trace, and past rides can't be painted in by hand. It may seem strict — but that's exactly what makes your completed map trustworthy.

Q2Does it work on subways and in tunnels?

Yes. Where GPS can't reach, the ride is bridged from the fixes before and after, checked for consistency in time and distance along the same line. Long high-speed-rail tunnels are supported too.

Q3What if I forget to start recording?

Missed rides can't be added afterwards, because the app only records what the GPS trace shows. Instead, the app works hard on prevention: a Live Activity keeps the recording state always visible.

Q4Is my raw GPS trace stored?

No. Once your ride segments are determined, the raw trace is discarded. Only “which segments you rode” is kept, and your movements never leave the device. See the privacy policy for details.

Q5Do I need an account?

Yes — signing in with Apple or Google is required. Your log is saved to your account, so it carries over even after switching devices or reinstalling. No password to set up, and your raw GPS trace is discarded on the device and never sent.
