iOS Travel Map is a perfect personal travel journal for you. Drop pins on a map wherever you've been and organise visited places into trips, to show your journey on a map. All data is kept local on your device and syncs privately across your Apple devices via iCloud. Free app with total privacy - no subscriptions, no logins, no data collection, no analysis, no ads, no social sharing - just for your private enjoyment. The app supports exporting and importing your travel history as a ZIP file containing CSVs and copies of your added photos. MAP: Interactive map with all your visited places as custom pins. Add places by pointing on the map, searching by location name (e.g. a city), or detecting locations from photos in your photo library or shared albums. TRIPS: Group tagged places together as named trips. Show trips on the map with directional lines based on dates visited. Edit trips with custom stop ordering to fine-tune the route. PLACES LIST: Searchable, sortable list of all your places. Sort and filter by place name, city, country, trip, or notes.
