Street level
The detail a globe leaves out
A city walk or a short road trip covers a few kilometres. Travellar's map is built for that scale.
Maps that get close
The map zooms in to fit your route, flat or with 3D buildings, so a walk between a few streets reads as clearly as a drive between cities.
Place labels
Labels name each stop as the route gets there, so your followers always know where you are.
Photos at every stop
Your photos and videos pop up as the route reaches each place, and every stop gets its name on the map.
Side by side
Travellar and TravelBoast
Both make animated map videos of a trip, for different kinds of trip. Compared with TravelBoast's website in October 2026.

The short answer
Pick Travellar for a walk, a day out or a short road trip, where the streets, the stops and several photos at each one are the story. Pick TravelBoast for a long journey between cities with a vehicle on the route. Both import Google Maps and GPX routes, and both are free to start.
What sets them apart
Scale
Travellar follows the streets and paths of a trip and names each stop as the route reaches it. TravelBoast shows a journey between the cities you visited on a 3D map and globe.
Starting point
Both import a Google Maps route or a GPX file. Travellar can also start from the photos in your camera roll and place them on the map for you.
At each stop
Travellar shows several photos and videos at a stop, under the place's name. In TravelBoast a stop takes one photo or video.
Where it runs
Travellar runs in the browser and on iOS. TravelBoast is an app for iOS and Android.
After the video
Of the two, only Travellar also turns the trip into a recommendation, with every stop and its details, ready to share with other travellers.
The right one for your trip
Where Travellar fits better
A walk, a day out or a short road trip, where the streets and the stops are the story. Start from your photos, show several at each stop with the place's name, and share the trip as a recommendation too.
Where TravelBoast fits better
A long journey across countries, with a plane, car or other vehicle moving along the route. TravelBoast has a large vehicle library. Travellar doesn't animate vehicles.
Where this comes from
Travellar publishes this page, so it reflects our view. What we say about TravelBoast comes from its website, public comparisons and using the app, checked in October 2026. Apps change, so try the same trip in both before you choose.
