What is a Photo Tracker?
A photo tracker automatically plots your travel route using the GPS coordinates embedded in your photos. Instead of manually logging where you went, you simply select photos from a trip and PhotoRoute builds the full route on a map — stop by stop, photo by photo.
How Photo Tracking Works
1. Select your travel photos
Pick photos from any trip in your iOS library. PhotoRoute reads the embedded GPS coordinates from each photo — no manual entry needed.
2. Your route is built automatically
PhotoRoute connects your photo locations in chronological order and draws your journey on an interactive map. Every photo becomes a stop on your route.
3. Share your photo journey
Share your photo journey as a public link, or keep it private. Your friends and family can explore every stop on your route.
Why Use a Photo Tracker Instead of a GPS Tracker?
No background tracking needed
GPS trackers drain your battery and run in the background. PhotoRoute works from photos you already took — zero battery impact during your trip.
Works for past trips too
Already home? No problem. PhotoRoute can map any trip from photos already in your library, even trips from years ago.
Photos stay on your device
Your photos are never uploaded unless you choose to share. PhotoRoute only reads location metadata — your memories stay private.
