What is MapRecap
MapRecap is a browser-based travel timeline analyzer. It takes a Google Timeline JSON export, processes it entirely on your device, and produces a structured list of international trips with border crossing times, durations, and an interactive map.
No account. No server. No data leaves your device.
Who it's for
- Visa applications — prove days spent outside your home country with exact dates and durations.
- Schengen tracking — identify trips that involved non-Schengen countries.
- Personal statistics — understand your travel patterns over time and export a year recap as an Instagram story.
How it works
- Export your location history from Google Maps — Settings → Your data → Download your Maps data → Places visited → JSON.
- Drop the file onto the upload screen and enter your home country ISO code (e.g. PL, UA, DE).
- MapRecap parses the timeline, detects border crossings using country polygon data, and builds a list of EXIT / ENTRY pairs.
- The result is a scrollable trip list with dates, durations, and Schengen flags, plus an interactive map.
Both Android and iPhone export formats are supported.
