TrackMyTour lets you track, share, and relive your travel adventures. **HOW IT WORKS** TrackMyTour is a simple travel blogging app. Each blog entry (or "waypoint") consists of a date, time, and location. Waypoints can also include text and photos. The app creates an interactive map of your waypoints, which you can share with your family and friends. They can follow along with the app or with a web browser on any device. **SHARE WITH FAMILY & FRIENDS** Each map has a secret link, which you can share with your family and friends. They can visit the link at anytime to see your updates and a map of your journey. The can also register and follow with the app, leave comments, react to your waypoints, and receive notifications when you post an update. Visit https://trackmytour.com/explore/ to see examples of some presently ongoing tours. **FREEMIUM & PLUS VERSIONS** The Freemium version of TrackMyTour provides everything you need to track your tour. For many it might be enough. TrackMyTour Plus is a subscription-based upgrade for users who like the app and want a little more. It unlocks some additional features not found in the Freemium version. **CREATE A BOOK** After your journey you can create and order a photo book consisting of your locations, photos, and captions (needs a laptop or desktop computer). TrackMyTour Books does the heavy lifting of laying out the content, and gives you the tools to fine tune the book to your liking. **FEATURES** TrackMyTour does not continuously track your location. Updates are made when you choose to record them. Waypoints can also be saved offline when a network connection is not available, and submitted later when you're back online (e.g., hotel WiFi). Give it a try and happy touring! End-User License Agreement: https://trackmytour.com/eula Terms & Conditions: https://trackmytour.com/terms Data privacy notice: https://trackmytour.com/privacy

About

Trip Player

Features
Read full description

Trip Player is a private travel diary based on visited locations. Your GPS location is central in Trip Player as new entries can only be made when the iPhone detects your location. Each location can have a name, note, and photo attached. Locations are grouped into trips, and 2D/3D flyovers can be generated easily. FEATURES • Simple and easy app that can be used immediately; there’s no need to sign up or create any account. • Statistics: you will know how many locations you have visited, along with the number of trips and years, months, and days when these locations were recorded. • Browse your locations by trip, year, month, or day. • View your travel route on a map or flyover, even on Apple TV. • Private and personal app - trips, locations, notes, and photos are stored on your iOS device only. • iCloud backup/restore is available, but it's done only upon your request. • No data connection is required for adding a location because no mapping or geocoding is done at that moment. • Fair battery usage during GPS operations, which are only used while adding a new location.
