A travel route map joins the places of one trip in the order you visited them. Here you create a trip, search for each city, and the map draws a line from stop to stop and adds up the distance.
This page is made for trips that are already over. You do not need a GPS recording: a list of cities from memory, a boarding pass folder or your photo dates is enough. Each stop can hold a date, how you travelled onward and a note.
Lines follow the great circle, the shortest path over the globe, which is why a flight from Seoul to New York curves north on the map. Distances are great-circle distances between stops, so a winding drive will be longer in reality than the figure shown.
How to draw a trip route
Step 1
Create the trip
Type a name such as Japan, spring 2025 and press Add trip. Set the dates if you know them.
Step 2
Add stops in order
Search for each city and pick it from the list. Use the arrows to reorder stops and the cross to remove one.
Step 3
Add detail
Open a stop to set its date, the transport to the next stop and a note. The country of every stop is marked as visited for you.
Good to know about routes
Routes that cross the Pacific
A line from Tokyo to Los Angeles is split at the date line and continues on the other edge of the map, as it should.
One country, many trips
Each trip keeps its own stops and dates, so repeat visits stay separate records.
City search works offline
The city list is a file loaded from this site. What you type is matched on your device and is not sent to a search service.
Questions and answers
- Can I import a GPX or KML file?
- Not yet. Routes are built from a list of stops. GPX and KML import is planned once the manual tools are solid.
- How is the distance calculated?
- It is the great-circle distance between each pair of consecutive stops, added up, using a mean Earth radius of 6,371 km. It matches flight distances well and underestimates road and rail journeys that do not run straight.
- Can I add a place that is not a city, like a national park?
- Yes. Type its coordinates in the stop search, for example -13.163, -72.545 for Machu Picchu, and choose Pin at these coordinates.
- How many trips and stops can I add?
- Up to 500 trips, with up to 300 stops in each. The limits keep the map fast on phones.
- I do not remember the exact dates. Is that a problem?
- No. Dates are optional. A trip without dates still appears on the map and counts toward countries, cities and distance; it only stays out of days travelled and the by-year table.
