Need an offline solution for GPS tracking on my map.
I suggest using Mergin Maps (https://merginmaps.com/ https://apps.apple.com/us/app/input/id1478603559) It is completely based on QGIS. Using the QGIS plugin, you can package all your layers for offline use. The benefit of Mergin Maps is that you get exactly what you see in QGIS and you can use it to collect data with other colleagues on the same project, even when offline.
