About Wayline: Travel Map & Journal
Wayline turns a trip into a map you will actually want to show people. Set up a trip before you go and Wayline records the route as you travel. Already been? Import your Google Maps Timeline and map a trip you took years ago. Either way, your photos land exactly where you took them. THE MAP • Your real route, drawn along the roads you actually travelled, coloured day by day • Photos grouped into hotspots where you stopped — tap one to see the shots from that spot • Stops named from your location history, so a pin reads "Bixby Creek Bridge" instead of a pair of coordinates • Scrub through the trip, or hit play and watch the whole thing draw itself PHOTOS, PLACED FOR YOU • Photos with GPS land on the map on their own • Photos without GPS are placed by matching when you took them against where you were • Left your camera on the wrong time zone? Wayline works out the offset and corrects it, so your shots do not end up hours down the road MADE FOR SHARING • Export a recap video sized for Reels and Stories, ending on your trip's numbers — distance, days, photos, stops • Save a poster of your route to post or print • Shortlist your favourites and send them straight to Instagram. Wayline splits them into batches so nothing gets silently dropped • Send a whole trip as a file — anyone else with Wayline opens the real, explorable map, photos and all RECORDING THAT DOES NOT EAT YOUR BATTERY Positions are taken by distance moved, not on a timer, and recording eases off by itself when you stop for a while — so a night in a hotel costs almost nothing. It only runs during the dates of your trip, and stops on its own when the trip ends. YOUR TRIP STAYS YOURS No account, no sign-up, no cloud. Your photos and trips live on your device and are never uploaded. The map fetches map imagery as you look at it, and matching your route to roads (which you can switch off) looks those roads up online. Nothing else leaves your phone. BUILT FOR Road trips, honeymoons, van life, motorcycle tours, cycling tours, hiking and backpacking, family holidays, and any trip worth remembering properly.
