Turn Your Travel Pins Into Travel Memories with Quick Journal

Your Trailmarker map already shows where you've been. But those pins on the map are only that: pins on a map. A brand new feature is now live to help users fill in the context of their travels and remember just why those pins mattered. An exciting new feature has come to Trailmarker.app! Introducing: Quick Journal, a new way to add memories, recommendations, photos, and visit details to the cities you've already pinned — without having to open every pin individually. The Quick Journal feature will ensure that you can easily keep your map from being only a collection of soulless pins When you're traveling, it's easy to save a city and think, I'll add the details later. Then later becomes months later. Or more. Or maybe you're re-visiting an old city and you just can't seem to find that favorite restaurant you loved so much last time you were there. The insane view that made you fall in love with the city to begin with. A hike you absolutely loved, or a little street you stumbled across- There are a million variations of the same story but the problem is that the details aren't on your map. Your friend is visiting the town you recommended but you can't seem to remember where to recommend they visit to ensure they'll love their stay as much as you did. Quick Journal is designed to make adding all of those details easier so they will all be accessible later when you want to remember them most. How Quick Journal works: When you visit your Trailmarker homepage, you'll now find a new section, Quick Journal, near the top of the page. Trailmarker selects a few of your saved city pins that don't have much information attached to them yet and offers you a dedicated space to quickly and easily fill in your adventures, just a few pins at a time. Each card gives you a quick and easy opportunity to add things like: 📅 When you visited — even just the year 📝 A note about your experience ⭐ A must-do experience (hiking to a view point, riding a ferris wheel, scuba diving) 📷 A photo from the trip You don't need to fill everything out, just whatever is applicable and worth remembering to you. It's your map - you should know best. Add one detail, save it, and Trailmarker moves on to another city. Skip the digging through your map to add details pin-by-pin. Previously, adding information to your pins meant finding the city on your map, opening the pin, and editing it. That's fine when you want to spend time with one particular destination but when you have dozens of (or in my case, nearly a thousand) saved places, it can become a serious time killer. Quick Journal turns that process into something you can do in small moments. Have five minutes of freedom? Add a few memories. Don't feel like writing about a particular city? Tap Skip and move on. The goal is to make building a richer travel map feel effortless. Everything stays with the actual pin on the map. Quick Journal isn't a separate journal that lives somewhere disconnected from your map. Anything you add is saved directly to the corresponding city pin. So when you return to that destination on your Trailmarker map, your notes, photos, visit information, and recommendations are there waiting for you. Over time, your map becomes more than a record of where you've traveled. It becomes your personal collection of travel memories. From map to travel story; a real journal of your adventures. One of the things we love about Trailmarker is that a map can tell a story without requiring a lot of words. A collection of cities shows where you've been but adding a few memories starts to show what those places meant to you. Maybe it's the year you visited Lisbon. The restaurant you still think about in Chania. The hike you would recommend to anyone visiting Norway. The tiny café you found by accident in Tokyo. Those little details are what turn a basic travel map into a meaningful travel map. Quick Journal is live so start filling in your trail now. If you've already built up a collection of pins on Trailmarker, Quick Journal gives you an easy way to start filling in the gaps. Open your homepage, pick a city, add a memory, and keep going for as long as you feel like it. Your map remembers where you've been. Now you can help it remember the story, too.
