Travel map & trip journal

Hello, Traveller. You have been far
Let’s map it!

Your whole travel life on planet Earth.
Where you went, who you went with & where’s next?
One 3D globe. On every screen you own.

Free to start. Runs in your browser, nothing to install.

The TRAVLR app on a phone, showing a trip drawn across a map with travel photos fanning out above it.

Travel Diary

Where you have been

Stops, photos, notes and dates, joined into a route that draws itself across the globe. You say how you travelled each leg and the line follows: flights on a great circle, cars and bikes on real roads, trains on the rail network, ferries on the water. Every country you set foot in fills in behind you.

More about the Travel Diary →

  • Eight ways to travel, each one routed properly
  • Replay a trip as an animation and export it as MP4
  • Record a GPS track as you go — private unless you change it
  • Import from Polarsteps, Google Timeline, GPX and KML

Community

Who you went with

Trips you can open up to other people or hand over entirely, lists several of you add to, and the travellers whose maps you follow. Invitations, replies and shared trips arrive in the app, on the map they belong to, rather than in somebody’s inbox.

More about Community →

  • Invite people into a trip, or hand one over
  • Shared lists several people can add to
  • Follow other travellers and see where they went
  • Messages and trip invites, without leaving the map

Explore

Where to go next

More than 43,000 places worth going to, each one written up and pinned to the globe: UNESCO World Heritage sites, national parks, the places films were shot, ancient battlefields, meteorite craters, waterfalls most maps leave off. New collections arrive on the same globe rather than in another app — empires one month, a film franchise the next.

  • Read a place, then drop it straight into a trip or a list
  • Search the catalogue and your own trips at once

The rest of the travel map

Everything above is where the time goes. These are the other six things TRAVLR does, and they all happen on the same globe.

Plan the next one

Build the itinerary day by day against the map, then search real flights and hotels from inside the trip you are planning — not in six other tabs.

A live map of the world

Earthquakes, volcanoes, wildfires, cyclones, floods, closed airspace and aviation warnings, drawn on the globe as they are reported. Useful before you book, and while you are out.

Thirty map styles

Satellite, Noir, Japanese Ink, Blueprint, Topo, Vintage, Neon and twenty-three more. Eight come with a free account; the rest arrive with Pro. Your trips look the same in all of them.

Your map, printed

A large-format poster of your own route, a photobook of every stop, or an NFC postcard — tapped with any phone, it opens the trip it was made from. No app, no electricity.

Visas and advisories

What your passport needs for where you are going, and what the US State Department, the UK Foreign Office and the Canadian government currently say about it — on the map, next to the trip it applies to.

Pro, if you want it

No ads, no trip limit, the other twenty-odd map styles, offline maps, heatmaps and travel stats, and an export of everything you have put in. Monthly, yearly, or once and for good.

Before you start

What is TRAVLR?
TRAVLR is a travel map, trip journal and route planner that runs in your browser. Log the trips you have taken and it draws each route across a 3D globe and fills in every country you have been to; share trips and lists with the people you travelled with; and pick the next place from more than 43,000 in its catalogue. Free to start, on any screen with a modern browser.
Is TRAVLR free?
Free to start, and free to keep using. A free account maps five trips with every stop, photo and note in them, reaches the whole catalogue of places, and carries some ads. Pro removes the ads, lifts the trip limit, opens the other twenty-odd map styles, and adds offline maps, heatmaps, travel stats and a full data export. Monthly, yearly, or a one-off lifetime price.
Do I need an account?
To save anything, yes, since your trips have to belong to someone. To open a trip somebody sent you, no. Shared links work signed out.
Can I import my trips from Polarsteps or Google Timeline?
Yes — from Settings, Import trips. TRAVLR reads Polarsteps exports, Google Timeline, GPX and KML. Stops, dates, notes and coordinates arrive as real trips on the map rather than as something to retype, Polarsteps photos come with them, and everything lands private until you decide otherwise.
How does TRAVLR draw the routes between stops?
By the way you travelled. You set the mode for each leg — flight, train, car, bus, bike, motorbike, boat or hike — and the line follows it: flights on a great circle, cars, buses and bikes on real roads, walks on paths, trains on the rail network, boats on water. The line between two stops is the one you actually took, not a ruler across the map.
Who can see my trips?
Whoever you decide. Each trip carries its own visibility: private, shared with named people, or open to anyone holding the link. A recorded GPS track works the same way, is private by default, and only records while you have it switched on.
Is there an iPhone or Android app?
Not yet. TRAVLR runs in any modern browser today, on a phone as readily as on a desktop, and there is nothing to install. Native apps are being built.
What can I do with a finished trip?
Replay it as an animation across the globe and export that as an MP4. Send a link that opens it where you left it. Order it as a poster, a photobook, or an NFC postcard that opens the trip when somebody taps it. Or leave it private — the country count goes up either way.
