You've been to 30 countries. But how much of the world have you actually seen? Most of us have ticked off a country and moved on — a few days in a city, an airport layover, a cruise port. HexPlore shows you the truth, and it's more interesting than any list of countries ever could be. Your travels are more unique than you think. That road trip through the Scottish Highlands. The back streets of Lisbon you got lost in. The stretch of New Zealand coast you drove at sunrise. HexPlore maps all of it — the actual ground you stood on, not just the countries you passed through. You might have been to Australia and seen 0.4% of it. You might have wandered a tiny country and covered 60%. That contrast is the whole point. DISCOVER YOUR REAL FOOTPRINT Find out what % of the world's land you've genuinely explored. See which countries you know deeply and which ones you've barely scratched. Spot the blank spaces on your map and feel the pull to fill them in. YOUR PHOTOS REMEMBER EVERYTHING Every trip you've ever taken is already sitting in your camera roll. HexPlore reads where your photos were taken and builds your map automatically. No logging. No manual entry. Just the honest record of a life lived. SOMETHING TO SHARE Generate a snapshot of your map and send it to friends. Compare honest coverage, not just country counts. Settle the debate about who's actually the more well-travelled one. Your photos stay on your phone. Always. No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Download HexPlore. Find out where you've really been.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: HexPlore at none against Stampie's 3. HexPlore also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
