PhotoTrail: Geotag & Trip Map
Map your trip, go back there
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Turn your travel photos into a map of where you went — then get directions back to any spot. No ads, nothing leaves your device.
You come home with the photos but not the places. PhotoTrail links each shot's time and location into a map of where you actually went — and when you want to go back, it gives you directions to the exact spot.
■ What it does
• Your route, kept as a map
Geotagged photos connect in time order into the trip you walked. You can see where every frame was taken.
• Go back to that spot
From a single photo, open directions in Apple Maps or Google Maps. That street you loved but couldn't name is findable again.
• The trip, in order
A timeline with place names, so you can read the whole trip back from the beginning.
• Location and settings per photo
Camera, lens, aperture, shutter and ISO — read them, and fix them. EXIF edits never re-encode the image, so your original quality is untouched.
• Keep and share a trip
Share cards and PDF export with the route, distance, duration and photo count.
• Apple Watch · Widget · iCloud backup
Record a track on the Watch and use it to place your photos on the map, and check recent trips from a home screen widget. Your trips are backed up to iCloud, so they come back when you change devices or reinstall the app.
■ Bonus — if you shoot a camera with no GPS
DSLR and mirrorless files carry no location. Import a GPX track from a phone logger or a dedicated device and locations are matched automatically by capture time; if the camera clock was off, correct the offset for the whole set at once. Camera, lens and focal-length stats come along with it.
■ Price
You can create three trips for free. Beyond that, a single PhotoTrail Pro purchase removes the limit.
Directions, automatic GPX matching, time-zone correction, PDF export and gear stats are all available on the free version. Only the number of trips is limited. Not a subscription, and no ads.
■ Privacy
Photos and location data are never sent to a server. Everything is processed on device, syncing goes only through your own iCloud, and there is no account to create.
■ Support
iPhone (iOS 17+), iPad, Apple Watch (watchOS 10+)

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
· Fixed capture times from camera EXIF appearing shifted by your timezone offset. When EXIF has no timezone, the camera timezone in Settings is used.
· Added "Re-read EXIF" to the ⋯ menu in trip details. It re-reads capture times from the original photos to fix trips you already created. Times and locations you edited manually are kept.
