Mapping program where I can create a history of our trip?

What would be a good mapping program where I can create a history of our trip to Alaska showing stops, overnight stays, points of interest, places where we ate did some sightseeing etc? Thanks.

  • Waze will record basic trip history, e.g. The route you took on the map. You can add points of interest as you travel as bookmarks, but the app requires data which you may not have while traversing canada.
  • I know DeLorme mapping software automatically creates a log of your travels including speed, elevation, coordinates, etc. You could use that log to display the route and stops.
  • Google Maps. Open the menu for it and click on Timeline. Pick a day and zoom in. BTW, your phone's "Location History" has to be enabled.
  • We use My Trip Journal to do just that as well as any pictures we take. It's like keeping a blog but simpler. You can also allow others to see what your doing. You can look at the link in our signature to see ours. As long as you don't post too many pictures, it is free. We post way too many pictures so we pay the annual $99 but many do not.

    SOmeone sent me a link awhile back... It was a MAP of the US and had all of the locations marked. When you zoomed down you could see the surrounding roads and locations and comments...

    Things sort of got all messed up around losing my main computer a couple of days ago... Still tryig to find everything hha...
