Easy to use trip map tracking tool?
 

Hi Peeps
Just about to kick off 2nd Ushuia to Cartagena trip and would like to keep family and friends updated on trip progress, specifically where we are and a route of the trip so far.
We used to use travelpod but this is now extinct :(
Can anyone recommend an easy to use journey tracking tool / app that
a) A numpty can use on the move
b) we can link to a website / facebook page so people can log in and see a map of the journey so far?
Thanks again to your wonderful HUBBers for the help and suggestions
Cheers
Barney

If on Android you could maybe share your https://www.google.com/maps/timeline or use the glympse app https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ndroid.glympse

Thanks Cambelt - alas I am one of those donuts on IOS who pay $700 for a battery that lasts a year and 2 days. The crossover to Android will happen but not in time for this trip! :scooter:

I believe you can use google maps on iOS.

Bubbler is an app that interfaces with spotwalla to produce tracking maps.

May be just for android but the spotwalla site should have a suggestion for ios.

Other option is toi use a garmin/delorme outreach which is two way sat tracker that also works with spotwalla

Thanks for tips, we will use google maps
 

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, we have gone with google maps as the easiest to use and link.

How about garmin inreach

Check out the new Travel Stories on HU.

Great new features include mapping, though maybe not in the way you're thinking - yet. You can upload a GPX file that will show your route to date. Does that work for you?

Have a look, there's lots of great features (and more to come) and it's right here on HU! :)

Regarding your item b. logging in - no need for others to login to see what you've uploaded on HU Travel Stories, and your family and friends can sign up with just their email address to get your updates - no account required - perfect for the non Facebook etc generation ;)

Thanks Grant, cool will check out next time we have WiFi for an hour or more!
