Footprint Map: My Travel Map

Footprint Map is a photo gallery that brings back this day years ago, builds an album for every trip, and paints everywhere you have been on a travel map.

■ Look back: that day's photos, first
• The top of Photos brings back "3 years ago today", your recent trip, this week in past years and your first visit to a country
• Tap one to watch it as a story while a small dot map marks where each photo was taken
• Save the story as a vertical video, made on your phone, or share it right away
• While viewing a photo, pull up the shots you took at the same spot in other years

■ An album for every trip
• Trips are found from the date and place of your photos and named like "Florence" or "Osaka·Kyoto"
• Country albums sort themselves by where each photo was taken
• Replay any trip as a story or follow it on the map
• On first launch, see how many trips were found and watch the latest one

■ Search by what is in your photos
• Find photos by what they show, like "ID", "receipt", "dog" or "beach", or by the text in them
• The search screen gathers IDs, documents, receipts, food, pets, scenery and flowers for you
• Analysis runs on your phone only; with a big library it continues while charging
• Search by place, a date like "March 2023" or album name, too. What you type never leaves the phone

■ Special-day alerts and a home-screen widget
• One alert on the morning of a special day, like "3 years ago today" or your first visit to a country. Only if you turn alerts on
• Back from a trip? An alert says the trip photos are ready, and tapping it plays the story
• The Look back widget shows that day's photo and a small dot map on your home screen

■ A travel map painted the moment you install
• Most travel trackers start empty. Footprint Map uses the photos you already have, so years of trips appear right away
• Places light up in the color of their year; pick a year to see only that year's places
• Tap a country for its places and photos, year by year, and leave a note anywhere on the map
• Play your travels back as dots light up in the order you took the photos

■ A landmark map to explore
• Famous places in Korea, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and Taiwan as small 3D models on an illustrated map, each with a short description and an address to copy
• Trains run along real railway lines, with live weather and seasons moving across the map
• Post a photo you took near a landmark and browse other travelers' shots. Posts lose their location and camera details, go public after review, and need Google sign-in only to post

■ An everyday photo gallery
• Browse photos by date, plus videos, albums and favorites
• Restore from the trash within 30 days, and copy, move, share or play a slideshow
• Choose it as your default gallery when other apps open a photo

■ Your photos and locations stay on your phone
• Your photo library, its locations and the photo analysis are never uploaded. The only exception is a landmark photo you choose to post, and it goes without location data
• Only anonymous statistics are collected, such as installs, app launches, whether alerts are on and how often they open the app, and the device's region setting. Landmark weather is requested by country only. See the privacy policy for details
• Detailed map backgrounds use Google Maps and need an internet connection

■ Ads
The app shows a banner on the Photos, Videos and Albums tabs and, now and then, a full-screen ad after you finish a playback, a share or a landmark tour. No banner covers the map, and ads never appear while you view photos or videos. Remove ads with a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription; no features are locked.

Note: photos need location data to appear on the map and in trip albums. The trash requires Android 11 or later.

The photos you already took are your travel map. Open Footprint Map and look back at how far you have come.
