Questions about your travel map.

Yes. Countries are free: tap them or scan your photos, get travel alerts, earn badges, back up your map, and share it. The optional maplog pro upgrade is a one-time purchase that adds cities, regions, a 3D globe, Google Maps Timeline import, and alerts for new cities and regions.

Yes. Your photos and your location never leave your phone. maplog works out the country or city on the device. What we store is your map: the places you added and their dates. We don't sell it or use it for advertising, and there are no ads in the app.

No. maplog starts with a guest account that has no name or email. Back up with Apple or Google whenever you like, so your map stays when you switch phones. If you already have an account, you can combine the guest map into it.

Scan your photo library, pick photos yourself, tap countries, or import Google Maps Timeline with maplog pro. You review every place before it is added.

maplog reads only the location tag and date of each photo, on your phone, and suggests the places it finds. Photos never leave your phone. You can allow your whole library, or choose photos yourself with your phone's photo picker, which needs no library access. Stops that were only at an airport start unchecked.

Google does not let apps fetch Timeline, so you export it from Google Maps and pick the file in maplog (a Timeline JSON file or a Takeout zip). It is read on your phone and never uploaded, and you review every country before it lands on the map. Timeline import is part of maplog pro.

Turn them on and maplog notices when you arrive in a country that is not on your map yet, then asks if you want to add it, even when the app is closed. With maplog pro it also asks about new cities and regions. Your location is checked on your phone and never stored or uploaded. Alerts need location access set to Always (Allow all the time on Android) and notifications.

Yes. The world map and the place data used for photo scans and travel alerts ship inside the app, so you can mark countries and browse your map with no signal. Changes sync when you are back online.

You decide what counts. Pick a list in Settings: the 193 UN members, members plus observers, contested places, inhabited territories, England, Scotland, and Wales on their own, every territory maplog can draw, uninhabited lands, or the Travelers' Century Club list with up to 266 places.

Yes, with maplog pro. Track US states, Canadian provinces, Japanese prefectures, French departments, and thousands of other regions, and see how much of each country you have covered.

No. It is a one-time purchase through the App Store or Google Play. Pay once and keep it. On a new phone, tap Restore purchases in Settings.

Yes. maplog runs on iPhone, iPad, and Android phones. On iPhone Duo, the unfolded screen shows your map on one half and your list or a country on the other.

Open maplog, then scan your photos, tap countries yourself, or import Google Maps Timeline. maplog keeps a live count of countries, continents, and how much of the world you have seen, plus regions and cities with maplog pro.
