How it works

Three steps. Two minutes.

01

Drop your photos

Upload from your camera roll. GPS data in your photos automatically places every stop on the map — no manual pinning.

02

Add captions if you want

Dates are read from the photo metadata. Add a line for each stop, or leave it and let the images speak.

03

Share the journey

Send a password-protected link. They explore the map themselves, or sit back and let it fly through every stop.

Turn a folder of photos into a cinematic map tour
