What's new

MapRecap is now available in English, Ukrainian and Spanish.

The site now opens in your browser's language by default, and remembers if you switch.

A page that tracks every meaningful update to MapRecap — you are looking at it.

Monaco, San Marino, Liechtenstein and other tiny nations are now selectable on the visited-countries map.

The route animator can now cruise through intermediate stops with a smooth banking turn instead of landing every time.

The 90/180 calculator now flags your busiest upcoming date so you can plan around it.

A new tool that tracks your days in the Schengen area against the 90-in-180 rule, so you can see at a glance how many days you have left.

Build a map of every country you have been to and export it as an image. It can auto-fill from your Google Timeline, or you can just tap countries by hand.

Route animations now slow down at each stop for a more natural feel, and default to a 9:16 vertical format on phones so your video is ready to share.

Sharing any MapRecap page now shows a proper preview image and description on social media and in chats.

Self-hosted fonts, a lighter homepage demo video, and stricter security headers make the site quicker and safer to use.

Fixed the visited-countries map to count every country you have actually been to, handle disputed territories more correctly, and keep the on-map count and the list in sync.

A new landing page and a live phone mockup let you preview exactly how your animated map will look as an Instagram Reel or Story before you export.

The map-style picker now shows a real preview of each style instead of a generic swatch, so you can see what you are choosing.

Analyzed trips now sort oldest-first by default, come with sorting and filtering, and show color-coded countries on each trip card.

On round-trips and multi-flight journeys the plane now lands and takes off at each stop, and sliders no longer jump when you scroll past them.

The Google Timeline analyzer is now its own page, with a one-click "Animate" handoff that sends a detected trip straight into the route animator.

Pick your home country from a name search with autocomplete instead of typing a country code.

Fixed a data issue that could merge two distinct countries into one, and stopped long-haul flight arcs from overshooting their destination.

Switching between the 2D map and 3D globe mid-playback now stops the animation cleanly instead of glitching.

Animate your journey on a spinning 3D globe, complete with a plane following the route, progressive route reveal, and a smooth takeoff-and-landing feel. Export it as a video too.

A new clean, tile-free map style for your 2D animations, drawn from vector borders for a minimal look.

Globe videos now export at your chosen aspect ratio and a fixed high resolution, with a constant on-screen plane size no matter the camera tilt.

Fixed video export on large screens, mobile play/reset controls, a readable reset dialog, and removed broken map tiles.

A redesigned, animation-first homepage that leads with the route animator, plus a cleaner tabbed editor for building and styling your trip.

Route animations now play right on the page instead of in a popup, so you can tweak the map style, colors, and speed and see the result immediately.

Set the line color, style, and animation speed for each leg of your trip individually, plus camera controls and per-leg map icons.

The route builder now has a proper mobile portrait layout with crisp retina map tiles.

Routes that cross the international date line now draw the short way around instead of wrapping the long way across the map.

Added proper page titles, descriptions, and social preview tags across the site so pages look right in search results and when shared.

Fixed the stop delete button alignment, a stuck hover state on touch, and now allows only one empty stop at a time.

A 3D plane marker now flies above your 2D map with a shadow, following a curved great-circle arc for flights and taking off and landing at each stop.

Drag a hue slider to recolor the plane instantly, and toggle whether distance in kilometers is shown.

The homepage carousel now includes a looping demo video wrapped in a phone mockup so you can see the animation in action.

Build a trip and watch it animate along real roads, with a growing kilometer odometer instead of static per-stop dates.

Added real "How it works" and Privacy pages explaining that everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.

Evened out animation speed across walking, driving, and flying, and fixed jumpy first frames and play/pause resume.

The trip builder now remembers your work between visits, so a reload no longer loses your route.

Replaced the static homepage mini-map with a real interactive map, and added a clear how-to-export guide for getting your Google Timeline data.

Fixed the trip builder to a single column on mobile, sharpened map tiles so the camera zoom is no longer blurry, and corrected the dark map style.

The first version of the trip builder: create a route and play it back as an animated map flyover with switchable map styles.
