Travel Planner Map

Features
Read full description

Travel Planner Map is a cross-platform app (macOS and iPad) that lets you save and organize locations on an interactive map. Each location can be assigned to a customizable category (like Restaurant, Campground, or Mountain Biking), tagged with hashtags, annotated with rich-text notes, and optionally accompanied by a photo. Locations are displayed as color-coded pins on a map, and you can search, filter by category visibility, plan driving routes between saved places. Data syncs across all your devices. You can use the Mac version to import and export collections of locations to share with your friends. The app also features a weather station system — you can add named locations (cities/towns) and view weather overlay data on the map for different time periods, making it useful for planning trips around seasonal conditions. On macOS, locations open in dedicated editor windows with a full toolbar, while on iPad/iPhone the UI adapts with sheets and a slide-up location list. The app seeds sensible defaults on first launch (preset categories and a set of U.S. weather stations). The weather data shown in the app comes from weather records from the last 5 years only to give a better estimate of what the upcoming years weather. I created this app, initially, for my own use for planning camping trips with my family with our trailer. I wanted to track the places we might want to go all over the US and the times of the year that we might want to go there. I wanted to know what times of the year are too hot, too cold, or too rainy. Not many people have used this app yet, so I am hoping to get feedback. Post reviews on the App Store with feedback and request new features.

Every stop. Every photo. Every story. Yours. MyTripLog turns a journey into a living story. You capture waypoints as you go — a place, the moment you were there, a note, a photo — and the app builds them into a map and a story you can actually read back years later. Capture in seconds. A waypoint takes a tap or two. Your location and the time are filled in for you. Notes and photos are optional and can always be added later — the log is the point, the photos are a bonus. IT READS LIKE A STORY, NOT A FOLDER Open a trip and it reads back to you: day by day, place by place, your notes running alongside your photos on the map you actually walked. Not a grid of thumbnails and a pin cloud — an account of the journey, in the order you lived it, that still makes sense to someone who wasn't there. Including you, in ten years. YOU WRITE IT AS YOU GO, IN SECONDS A waypoint is one place, one moment. Two taps while you're standing there — the location and time fill themselves in — and a sentence about why it mattered. That sentence is the part a photo can never carry, and the reason the trip still means something later. Two-tap capture; snap a photo and let it place the waypoint for you Works offline, syncs when you're back in signal Notes, ratings, and categories on any waypoint Every trip on an interactive map, day by day Share a trip with a link — no account needed to read it YOUR PHOTOS STAY YOURS Full-resolution photos go straight into your own Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive — untouched, no downscaling, no re-encoding. MyTripLog organises them into clean folders by trip, by day, by waypoint, so you can browse them anywhere, even without this app. We never hold your originals, and deleting a trip here doesn't delete them there. TURN THE STORY INTO SOMETHING YOU KEEP At mytriplog.app, in your browser on a bigger screen, the same trip becomes a printable journal, a route-map poster, or a slideshow — and a full archive you can save into your own cloud: readable HTML, a GPX route, and your photos. Same account, same trips. Capture the story on your phone. Make something of it on the web. mytriplog.app
