One of the greatest joys of traveling is returning home with new memories and stories to tell. That said, keeping track of all the fun experiences you had can be difficult, especially if you were away for an extended period of time.
There are ways to capture highlights of your trip, of course, such as taking photos or recording videos. The problem is that what you’re left with is only bits and pieces of your entire experience.
Trying to photograph or record practically everything isn’t a viable option either, obviously. Doing so would take up a sizeable chunk of your phone’s precious memory. Also, chances are none of your friends, family, or followers on social media want to sift through hundreds upon hundreds of photos or watch a half-hour-long vlog.
LiveTrekker is a travel app designed to solve this dilemma by creating a digital map of your journey. Let’s say you’re going to spend the day sightseeing in New York. Before you venture out into the Big Apple, enable the LiveTrekker app. The app will then track your steps via GPS, creating a map of your route in real-time.
Any photos or videos taken while you’re out sightseeing can then be pinned to the map either while it’s being created or at a later time. Other forms of media such as audio clips and text entries can be added to the map as well. Think of it as a sort of digital scrapbook stored safely in the Cloud.
Another convenient aspect of LiveTrekker is that you can choose when to upload your map and its contents. This way you don’t have to worry about the app expending all of your data while you’re out and about. Travel is already expensive enough without racking up a big phone bill.
On the LiveTrekker website you can fine-tune your map by importing new content or editing what you’ve uploaded already. Once that’s done, share it with friends and family via email or on social media. With LiveTrekker, all it takes is one simple click for others to be able to digitally retrace the steps you took and relive the memories you made.
