About TripsMapped
TripsMapped is a free travel map maker. You mark the countries you have visited, add past trips as a list of cities, and get a map, your travel statistics and an image you can print or share.
Why it exists
Most travel map apps want an account and an install, and keep your travel history on their servers. Web tools that need no account usually stop at colouring countries. TripsMapped does the whole job in the browser: countries, routes, statistics and export, with your data on your own device.
How your data is handled
- Your map is saved in your browser's storage on your device. It is not uploaded.
- City search runs on your device against a list downloaded from this site. What you type is not sent to a search service.
- Images are drawn on your device. A share link keeps the map after the # sign, a part of the address that browsers do not send to servers.
- You can save everything as a readable backup file, and delete everything with one button.
Where the map data comes from
- Country borders: Natural Earth, public domain, at 1:110 million and 1:50 million scale.
- City names and coordinates: GeoNames, places with more than 15,000 residents, licensed CC BY 4.0.
- Country codes, areas, continents and translated names: the world-countries project, licensed ODbL.
Borders and names follow these datasets and are not a statement about any territorial dispute. You choose how countries are counted: 193 UN members, 195 with observer states, or all countries and territories.
How the site pays for itself
The site is free to use and is meant to be funded by display advertising on its text pages. Advertisements are kept away from the map and from the download and save buttons.
