## What is The Puzzle Map?

Download Puzzle Map and let your location automatically unlock the cities you visit, one by one.

Puzzle Map turns your trips, journeys, and discoveries into visible progress on an interactive map. Each detected city or area is unlocked automatically, helping you earn XP, level up, unlock badges, and grow your explorer profile.

Whether you travel often, take weekend trips, or simply want to keep a faithful record of your discoveries, Puzzle Map helps you build a personal, motivating map that reflects where you’ve really been.

Main Features

• Automatic city unlocking
Enable location tracking and let Puzzle Map automatically detect the cities and areas you pass through.

• Photo Import
Recover places you’ve already visited using GPS metadata from your photo library. Choose a date range, identify cities linked to your photos, and add them to your map.

• Edit Mode
If a city was missed, if something looks wrong, or if you want to complete your map so it better represents your real travels, Edit Mode lets you manually add or remove cities.

• Gamified Progress
Earn XP, level up, and unlock badges as you discover more cities, countries, and continents.

• Detailed Stats
Track your explored cities, countries, and continents with clear progress indicators and dedicated views.

• GPS Modes for Your Needs
Choose between Battery Saver, Balanced, or Intensive depending on the precision and battery usage you want. Automatic Intensive Mode can improve detection when you’re moving fast.

• Widgets and Live Activity
Check your stats from your Home Screen and quickly enable Intensive Mode before a trip.

• Customizable Map
Use Xray Mode, detailed outlines, country view, and visual distinctions for areas unlocked by GPS, manual edits, photos, or shared maps.

• Map Sharing
Share your map with friends and family, view their discoveries, and compare your explorations.

• Optional Cloud Sync
Use Puzzle Map locally without an account, or sign in to sync your progress across devices.
