PolarSteps: The travel tracker

PolarSteps - The travel tracker

You who travel, and who perhaps do not have the time or knowledge to manage a blog or a YouTube channel, but who nevertheless want to leave a trace of your travel(s), I invite you to discover PolarSteps !

What is a travel tracker?

PolarSteps is a mobile application that I recently discovered thanks to two other travelers (Alexis and Willy) whom I thank greatly!

PolarSteps is a tracker that records the different steps you take during your trip. It allows you to create a nice drawing on our world map, accompanied by the location, date, time, photos you took at the said location, and even some information, such as places to visit, restaurants and other.

How does Polarsteps work?

As mentioned above, polarsteps allows you to retrace your trip or trips. Almost everything is done automatically regarding the steps. As soon as you take a break during the day, the application records the GPS position and allows you to add a step.

Over the course of your trip, you will add important steps, such as places visited, monuments etc. You will be able to add, as I told you, photos, a comment, a bit like a blog in fact.
