Your travels, beautifully told. Wanderinga 7 is a complete redesign: a 3D globe of every trip, your year in flags, and itineraries that finally tell the truth. You've crossed borders, taken night trains and changed planes in airports you never left. Wanderinga turns it all into a living travel journal, and knows the difference between a country you visited and one you only flew through. YOUR WORLD ON A 3D GLOBE Every trip draws its route on a living globe, your last one glowing in orange. Pinch to zoom, tap a country, replay your travels. Visited countries light up in blue, layover countries in soft green, your bucket list in gold. YOUR YEAR IN FLAGS Each day of the year shows the flag of where you were. Open it full size, pick a year, tap any day to find the country, the trip and the activities. Days on the road between countries show as a plane. SMART ITINERARIES Build a trip stop by stop and search any city in the world. Mark connections as layovers so they never count as visits. Night flight or time difference? Arrive the next day, and your trip still ends the day you get home. Every leg shows its distance and CO₂. A JOURNAL AND A FEED Your trip under way as a polaroid, then every trip, activity and new stamp, year by year. Your photos become polaroids taped to the page. YOUR TRAVEL PASSPORT An illustrated stamp for every country you visit, the regions you explored inside each one, 40+ badges, traveler levels and your percentage of the world. RECORD AND IMPORT ROUTES Record your route, even offline, or import GPX from Garmin, Strava, Komoot or any watch. Split, merge and rename legs: the GPX file itself is rewritten. COUNTRY PAGES A full-bleed map, the regions you explored, your places, your wishes and every trip there. TRIP REELS AND WRAPPED Turn a trip into an animated map video in seconds. Get your year as a cinematic recap to share. WORKS OFFLINE Record and edit without a signal. Everything syncs by itself once you're back online. MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN Phone, tablet and foldable, portrait and landscape. Home screen widgets for your countries, your latest stamp and your level. NO ADS. NO BACKGROUND TRACKING. Location is only used while you record. Your data is yours: export it or delete it whenever you want. FREE, AND GENEROUS Unlimited countries, stamps, badges, GPX recording and import, offline mode and 10 trips, free forever.
