Review in detail
TravelMap is published by TravelMap SASU, 21 B rue Gabriel Calamand, 42000 Saint-Etienne, France, SIRET 89821325100017. The about page says it was created in 2013 by one person who still runs it.
TravelMap is a map first and an itinerary second. You trace stops, attach photos and posts, and share the map with a link that viewers can open without an account.
How does TravelMap work for past and future trips?
TravelMap lets you trace your itinerary for past, present and future trips and show where you are, where you have been and where you are going. You also mark the transport modes used.
The free account stores unlimited maps and spots and gives each blog its own address, with an optional password.
What does TravelMap cost?
The free tier draws straight lines between spots and allows up to 100 photos in total. Premium costs 4 EUR net per month or 30 EUR net per year.
Premium adds lines that follow roads or are drawn by hand, distances between spots and more photos. Premium Plus adds live tracking and GPS files; its price is not on the pages we read.
Where is TravelMap data kept?
The imprint states that the TravelMap website server is hosted in France by OVH. The terms are governed by French law, with the Commercial Court of Paris as jurisdiction.
The privacy page says users own their data and that TravelMap makes money from paid accounts and printed books, not from advertisers.
Points against
TravelMap is a travel map and blog, not a booking organiser, so it does not import reservations, track flights or sync calendars. It is a one-person business per its about page. Premium Plus pricing is not shown on the pages we read.
Who TravelMap fits
Choose TravelMap to show a route and a story to family and friends. For bookings, pair it with KDE Itinerary; for day plans, see Tripomatic.
