HOW IT WORKS
- Create a map and share it with your friends and family.
- Go travelling and add waypoints whenever you want to highlight a location or just say, "Here I am!" Waypoints can include text and a photo.
- Your friends and family can follow a breadcrumb trail of your trip by visiting the link you sent them.
See sample maps at https://trackmytour.com/browse/.
TrackMyTour is not a real-time tracker, which saves battery power and keeps roaming costs at a minimum. Waypoints can also be saved offline when a network connection is not available, and submitted later when you're back online (e.g., hotel WiFi).
FEATURES
- create waypoints without a network connection
- follow tours with the app and be instantly notified of updates
- friends & family can leave comments on your tour
- sharing with Twitter and Facebook
- see the TrackMyTour FAQ at https://trackmytour.com/faq/
TrackMyTour is free to get started, and if you like it you can purchase an in-app upgrade to unlock additional features. Give it a try and happy touring!

Reviews
Our trip around the US has been fabulous
Dezerdd
My sister and I just retired and decided to see the US of A. We left home on August 2, 2017 and have been traveling now for seven months and two weeks and we still have some time to go before we finish our tour around the entire Country. It has been awesome but your app made it even better. To be able to track our tour has been so wonderful. You have given us a life time of memories to be able to go back and see everywhere we went. I love this AP. Thank you so much. It’s priceless!! This is the best part of our trip to be able to share with family and friends. Christopher Meyer you are a genius You also have our name... Meyer. ????❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ although we are not related ... cheers to you and your ap! ?
Thanks Christopher

This is a really great app. We have been tracking our trips since 2013 when I learned about the app in the Sunday Magazine in the paper. We and our friends and relatives have enjoyed using the app. Last night our new trip got deleted somehow and Christopher came to our rescue and restored our trip in just minutes, that is customer service! Love it, love it!
Sharing Trip is Awesome

I found this App to be a great way to document and to share my trip along the way. I used the app on a tour of Israel which lasted eleven days. My family and friends were able to see my progress and view highlight photos from my waypoints. It was very easy to GPS waypoints, provide photo, and give brief description. And, since my trip is saved on TrackMyTour, I can remember and relive the trip anytime I want! I even used my trip record to help sort my 400+ photos months after the trip. I highly recommend this App.
Nothing else that I've found compares!

I love how TrackMyTour features help you incrementally tell the story of your trip as it unfolds. Its easy integration of a photo with comments and map location/route for each point along the way is exactly what I was looking for. Friends and family think that its web presentation is very cool. The only gap is support for upload or linkage to high resolution photos, but I still give it 5 stars! It is my primary way to share a tour - nothing else that I've found compares!
Needs Option to get rid of connecting lines
dsdfasdfa
This seems like it could be a good app but it really needs an option to not have a line connecting the way points! I want to put multiple trips on one map and they are all jumbled together with lines. Also a lot of times I don't want the line bc if I skip a few days and travel then the straight line is not accurate, and I don't want all the lines from airplane travel. So overall could be a good app except for the major flaw of it really needs a no connecting line option- I'd pay for that! Also I tried to add a point from last year and there was no option for a year so only dates in 2016 can be added which is unfortunate bc I want to track my past trips. Overall the biggest problem is that there needs to be a way to turn lines off and then a way to add pins from over a year ago
The poor man's SPOT -- Awesome

Keeping relatives and friends appraised of your progress (and health and welfare) on tour is always a chore, uploading and sharing GPS tracks, posting "check-in" notes on social media, etc. We now have a one-stop-shopping app in TrackMyTour, without the expense of a satellite tracker and subscription, and that doesn't require everyone to be on the same social net.
Like the Concept but Yearning More
paige_culnan
I used this app for my trip to NYC for the last six days. It has a great concept and super easy to share. BUT I wish I could do more. Like my friend and I both wanted the ability to post. It would also be great to be able to export it all at the end or something. Cause now the trip is over I don't know a good way to save it.
