There are 2 apps called "My Tracks":

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zihua.android.mytracks
and
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cie.enpi.mytracks

The OP did not identify which one he likes or decided to use.  However,
since the OP posted *5* months ago, it is highly unlikely that the OP is
still monitoring or watching his old thread to then reply to inquiries
about it.
