HOW IT WORKS

Travel Mapping tracks which highway and rail segments you've traveled by maintaining .list files — simple text files listing your clinched route segments. The community at travelmapping.net processes these files and visualizes your travels on interactive maps.

This app lets you browse that data, track your progress, and generate new .list entries — either by selecting segments on the map or recording GPS road trips that automatically match to TravelMapping routes.

New to Travel Mapping? The app includes a Get Started guide to help you create your username and submit your first .list file.

SUPPORTED REGIONS

Travel Mapping covers highway systems across North America, Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, and Oceania — with nearly 400 regions across 147 countries. Rail and transit networks are also tracked via the companion tmrail.teresco.org database.

OPEN SOURCE & COMMUNITY

Travel Mapping is a volunteer-driven project. Route data, user files, and the web application are all open source and hosted on GitHub. This app connects to the public TravelMapping API — no account creation or personal data collection required.

Privacy: No ads, no third-party analytics. Anonymous diagnostic data — crashes, performance metrics, app hangs, structured logs, screenshots, and short session replays — is collected via Sentry to improve app stability. Your TravelMapping username is the only identifier sent. Location data stays on your device or syncs privately via iCloud.
