A Nomad's Guide

Every place you have been, on one map

A Nomad’s Guide keeps the record of where you have travelled. Mark a place visited and it lands on your map, in your timeline, and in every collection it belongs to.

The world map in A Nomad's Guide: a globe covered in pins, the visited ones green, with a panel open on Petra showing its collections and the date it was visited.
Green is somewhere you have been. Everything else is still ahead of you.

What it fixes

Your travel history is spread across a camera roll and your memory

Every place you mark is filed with its date. The map shows where you have been, the timeline shows it year by year, and the count goes up.

Entering twenty years of travel would take all evening

Set the date once and it stays set while you work through a trip, so a place is one tap. A strip at the top of the screen says which day you are logging as, and a wrong tap can be undone for twelve seconds.

You have been to Japan, but you do not know what you missed

A collection counts what a country, a category or a curated list actually holds. Japan reads 38 of 52, so the places you have not reached yet are on the same screen as the ones you have.

A trip becomes a folder of photos nobody opens again

Group the visits from one trip into a journey. It draws the route you took, holds your journal and photos, and exports as a PDF or a link you can switch off later.

Deciding where to go next means an evening of open tabs

The app reads what you have already collected and suggests places near you, a fresh batch each week, and the collections you are closest to finishing.

The place you want is not in the guide

Add it yourself. Tap the map where it is instead of typing coordinates, and it joins the country and category collections it belongs to.

Premium

The Collections tab: tiles for Japan, France, Italy, Shrines and temples, Waterfalls and others, each showing how many of its places have been collected and a ring for how far through it you are.
Countries, categories and curated lists, each with a count and a rank to earn.

Start with the last place you went

Marking one place takes a second, and the map, the counts and your first badge follow from it. Collecting places, the map and every collection in the guide are free.
