FAQ
Travellar animates the route inside the trip, at street level: the roads and paths between the stops, each stop's name and several of your photos at every one. The map video apps compared here draw the journey between places, on a map or a globe.
TravelBoast, Travel Animator and TripReel move a vehicle along the route between cities. Travellar's camera travels the route instead. It suits walks, days out and short road trips best, and its map zooms out to fit a few countries too.
No. Polarsteps and FindPenguins track your journey while you travel and keep it as a journal. Travellar builds the route after the trip, from your photos, a Google Maps route or a GPX file, and turns it into a Reel. You can use both: log the journey in one, and make a Travellar Reel of each day out.
Travellar publishes them, so they reflect our view. What we say about each app comes from its own website, help pages or store listing, and from using it. Where its website doesn't say, the table says so, and each page says when it was last checked.
