Geodesic vs Pastport

Geodesic helps you explore and visualize your personal footprint, track visited countries, and log daily locations — all while protecting your privacy. Unlocking spots is so satisfying — even on daily routes, you'll want to fill in those map gaps and explore more. - Intuitive Activity Map View: Browse your location history and visit records on an interactive map, quickly reviewing your movement trail for any given day. - Automatic Visit Detection: Automatically organizes stop points into visit records, helping you understand when and where you stayed (work, home, tourist spots, etc.). - Visit & Record Editing: Directly correct inaccurate stay durations or locations, and merge or split visit records to better reflect your real-world experience. - Reverse Geocoding: Converts coordinates into readable addresses or place names, making it easy to identify visited locations (country / city / landmark). - Country & Geographic Classification: Automatically tags locations with their corresponding country, supporting quick filtering and statistics (e.g., viewing visit counts by country). - Import & Export: Easily export raw tracks or organized visit lists, or import JSON files from other services — great for sharing and backup. - iCloud Sync & Backup Options: Optionally use iCloud to sync data across devices, with built-in backup functionality to prevent data loss. - Local-First, Privacy-Focused: Your data lives primarily on your device or iCloud (under your control) — the app never force-uploads your location to third-party servers. - Performance & Battery Optimization: Optimized for long-term location logging to minimize battery drain and storage overhead. - History Search & Filtering: Quickly search and filter past records by date, location, country, or custom tags. - Map Export & Sharing Interface: Generate shareable map views or export files in just a few steps — perfect for sharing with friends or creating personal backups. - Multilingual & Localization Support: The interface uses localized strings to deliver a great experience for users across different languages. Example use cases: - Travel Review: Quickly look up your trip routes, stop locations, and dates as a personal memory or to share with others. - Private Journal: Use visit detection and editing to build an accurate log of your daily routines without relying on third-party services. - Data Integration: Import historical tracks from other services, let Geodesic automatically clean and categorize them, and get a clean, usable visit list.

Your camera roll already knows everywhere you've been. Pastport turns it into a travel map. Pastport uses the dates and locations saved with your photos to put your past trips back together, so you can find that weekend in Lisbon or the road trip you'd half forgotten without typing in a single stop. WHAT YOU GET • A globe of every country you've visited. Spin it, zoom in, count them up. There's a flat world map too. • Your trips, found for you, each with its dates, its stops and its photos. • A page for every trip: your route on a map, a day by day timeline, and the places you went. • Your travel stats: countries, trips, continents, and roughly how far your furthest country is from home. • Search your travel history. Type "Japan" or "2019" and the trip comes back with its photos. (Pro) • A card of your year in travel, ready for your story or the group chat. • Add trips yourself. If one is missing, pick the photos and Pastport builds it. FREE AND PRO Pastport is free to download. On your first scan it fills in your globe with every country it finds and opens your trips from the last 12 months. You can add trips by hand whenever you like. Pastport Pro opens your trips from every year, adds new trips by itself as you take photos, turns on search, and lets you share your all time map. You can get Pro as a yearly subscription or as a one time purchase called Pastport Forever. YOUR PHOTOS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE You don't need an account, and Pastport has no server holding your trips. Your photos are read on your iPhone and never uploaded. To name places and draw maps, Pastport uses Apple's map services, like any map app does. Pastport does send usage and performance data so we can fix bugs. It's tied to a hashed device identifier, not your name or Apple Account, and it never includes your photos, locations, trip names or searches. To stop it, turn off Share usage data in Pastport's Settings (anything already queued may still go out). GOOD TO KNOW Pastport can only find trips your photos remember. Pictures without a location, like screenshots or some saved images, can't place a trip. The automatic scan needs access to your full photo library. With limited access you can still add trips yourself. The yearly subscription renews automatically unless you turn it off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://getpastport.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://getpastport.app/privacy
