Is there an Interactive map to plot where we have been - any suggestions (1 Viewer)

[benimardriver]

Hi

I’ve done a search but can’t find the answer other than somebody suggesting an app.

We have racked up so many sites and places, that I’m forgetting where we have been to some degree.

I wondered if it is it possible to load a map (Google maps?), and mark all the places we have visited and perhaps a note/tag of the site we stayed at, what we thought of it, price etc, so we can just load the map easily and make reference to it?

Thanks

Polar steps is a good app . I know of someone that travelled Europe and sent friends link to watch thier progress with photos and written articles easily attached

We track our route with pocket Earth app and the import into Google MyMaps to get maps like these.

Honestly couldn't praise Polarsteps highly enough, it looks complicated at the start but is the perfect way to plot your trip with photos and words. We share it with the kids and people we meet on the road that are using it. It's free and they make money from selling the trip as an album once the trip is finished, but there is no hard sell, just an option at the end. I've included a snap shot of our last trip to Morocco

We used polarsteps. It got itself in a bit of a muddle on our last journey though.

You can add photos and write a blog on it too.

We have had that too but now have the "precise location" selected on the phone and it works perfect.

For Android it's under: Settings - Apps - Manage Apps - Polarsteps - App Permissions - Location.
Probably similar in IOS or you will get the gist.

Once you have downloaded the app (I have iPhone) go to settings and scroll till you see Polarsteps, click on it then click on “location” to access that page.

I've just used Polarsteps for the first time on a short trip. So far I'm very happy with it.

(You do have to remember to start it though )

Not sure about Tom Tom/others but my Garmin satnav defaults to leaving a trace.
It can be fun to be reminded of the motorhome journeys when I’ve connected the satnav to the PC for a map updates, etc.

Can you export or save your Polarsteps trip when you have finished or do you have to access it on the app?

Don't think you can export the actual information about a given trip, you can just share the link with others that can then access your account. We have lots of trips saved on our account and would be gutted if it were lost but that just the way they choose to operate it. We have been using it for about 5 years without a glitch.

Sorry, obviously you can buy the album that they produce after the trip is finished (they even show you an exact copy of it). They are expensive and we have never purchased one but the option it there, then I suppose you would have it forever.

I use Google Maps and simply plonk a star [saved places] on a destination
Google TimeLine is the backup & details

Would be good to have the ability to turn on/off lists of saved places in Google Maps to stop it getting cluttered.
I've suggested it a few times as feedback but nothing comes of it.
