Every state and county you've set foot in deserves to be remembered — not just "been to that country." Mapsprink is a personal travel check-in map, made for travelers like you who love to explore the world in depth. Check in at two levels of detail: Level 1 is a country's main regions, and Level 2 is the finer areas within. Most countries' Level 1 / Level 2 check-ins are unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase per country (local price shown before you confirm). Supported areas so far (33 countries): • United States — 57 States & Territories / 3,259 Counties & Districts • Mexico — 32 States / 2,473 Municipalities • Russia — 83 Federal Subjects / 2,288 Districts • Japan — 47 Prefectures / 1,741 Municipalities • Turkey — 81 Provinces / 974 Districts (İlçe) • Thailand — 77 Provinces / 925 Districts (Amphoe) • India — 36 States & Union Territories / 781 Districts • Australia — 9 States & Territories / 570 LGAs & Districts • Indonesia — 38 Provinces / 514 Regencies & Cities • Brazil — 27 States / 511 Immediate Regions ... (The 10 above are simply the largest by area count.) Other countries also covered down to Level 2: China, Germany, Poland, Taiwan, Norway, Netherlands, Canada, Sweden, United Kingdom, South Korea, Malaysia, Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Philippines, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain. Covered to Level 1 only: Egypt, San Marino, Vietnam. More countries' regions may be added in the future. • Two ways to check in: tap a region on the map, or use your device location to check in where you are • Three levels of marking: Passed through, Visited, or Stayed — a change of planes is not the same as a week somewhere • Retrace a long journey: lay long-distance routes over the map — high-speed and regular rail, motorways, metro and light rail — to work out which areas you passed through (Taiwan, the United States, Japan, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore) • Search everywhere: find every country and area from any view — including Chinese and Japanese names for world-famous cities • Name labels: area names drawn right on the map tiles (switchable, choose the name language, optional in photos) • Earn medals (bronze, silver, gold, cup) as your coverage grows • Collect a sticker for every country and watch your completion % climb • Snap and share a picture of your map • Works offline — your check-ins stay on your device • Save and restore your progress with an optional backup to your OWN Google Drive — handy when you switch phones (we never see your data)
