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. Explore regions in 63 countries & regions: Level 1 and Level 2: United States, Mexico, Russia, Japan, Turkey, Thailand, India, Australia, Indonesia, Brazil, China, Germany, Poland, Taiwan, Norway, Netherlands, Canada, Sweden, United Kingdom, South Korea, Malaysia, Switzerland, Austria, France, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Philippines, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain, Czechia, Portugal, Iceland, Greece, Hungary, Argentina, Belgium, Luxembourg, Croatia, Ireland, Malta, Mongolia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Bangladesh and Peru. Level 1 only: Egypt, San Marino, Vietnam, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Monaco, the United Arab Emirates, Montenegro, Kazakhstan, Iran, Palau and Cambodia. More areas 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 • Optional street map: switch on an Apple Maps or OpenStreetMap base map under the tiles to see roads and towns while you mark areas (needs a connection) • Railways map style: rail lines — metro, light rail, tram, railway and high-speed rail — drawn in colour over a faded street map, from country scale inwards (needs a connection) • 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 (only the optional base map needs a connection) • Save and restore your progress with an optional backup to your OWN Google Drive — handy when you switch phones (we never see your data) 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).
