Map My Travels

Create an Interactive Travel Map of Your Tours and Activities

Are you dreaming of creating your own interactive travel map to bring your tours and adventures to life? With Map My Travels, it's easy! Craft and share custom maps of your travels, embedding them seamlessly on your website. Start mapping your journeys and share them with the world today!

Creating a travel map has never been easier

Combine an intuitive travel map creator with many customization options like uploading your own marker icons as well as loading in GPS files. Creating an interactive travel map has never been easier.

Create custom markers

One of the key features of Map My Travels is to customize the way you want to show waypoints on your travel map. That's why you can add markers to your map in multiple ways:

Add content to your travel map

A map marker without information is not a good marker! People want to know what happened at that specific place. That's why you can easily add a popup to your markers and routes, where you can add the following pieces of content:

Fill your travel map with content!

Embed the travel map on your own website

You can share your map in many different ways. You can share a link to the map on social media or where ever you like. You can also embed the map on your own website, like I've done on my personal website! It doesn't matter if your website is made with Wordpress, Squarespace or any other.

Upload GPS files

Upload your recorded travel data with ease. In the Map My Travels editor you can upload GPS files in the following formats:

After you've added the GPS files you can still change the line's appearance, like color, thickness, opacity etc.

Import your Strava Activities

If you host your travel activities on Strava, a popular fitness app on which you can share your traveled routes (usually used by hikers or cyclists), you can import these directly into the map creator!

If you don't have any recorded route data like from Strava or a GPS file, you can still add lines to your map by just drawing on the map!

Change the look of your travel map

You can customize the look of your map with 4 different map types that Google Maps provides:

Create as many travel maps as you want!

You can add as many travel maps in your account as you want, completely free! There are only limits on the amount of markers and routes you can add to your maps. But you can get started for absolutely free. See more information on pricing and limits on the pricing page.

Create travel maps on any device

All of the map creator features are totally compatible with both laptops and phones. Out of personal experience, I'd recommend editing the maps on a laptop or computer. The experience is a bit better for panning around the map, but it's totally possible to do it on a phone as well. Your travel map will look beautiful either way!

Built by TravelingTice

Hi! I built this application myself as I have both a passion for coding and travel! I've cycled through 13 countries in Europe as well as part of Taiwan!

Difference between scaling and nonscaling patterns

What is this.

When you color a country with a pattern (dots, stripes, etc.), the pattern by default gets scaled (resized) to fit its size . You can change this to use nonscaling patterns that look the same on all countries. Examples:

Scaling (default)

What to choose?

It can depend on the map or the patterns/colors you select, but generally:

• Scaling patterns (default) are better for maps with small subdivisions, like the detailed maps or the US counties map.
• Scaling patterns (default) are better for zoomed in areas.
• Nonscaling patterns can look better for maps with larger subdivisions, like the simple World map or the US states map.
• Nonscaling patterns can look better when you have a small number of patterns in your map, as they stand out more.

In any case, you can switch this setting on/off as many times as you need to see the difference live on your map. More details on the blog .

Travel Simulator Level 2 Level 2

Module description.

This is the Travel Simulator .  This tool is ideal for solving the scenes that occur when a group of characters travels from one place to another. With this simulator you can quickly find out how far it is, how long it will take to get there, how much supplies will cost and what possible unforeseen events will arise along the way. The most experienced Game Masters do not narrate every trip that is made, because unless something special happens on the roads, the important thing is the story and not the boring hours of travel. Therefore, this simulator helps to resolve it quickly and impartially. 

The first thing you need to know is the distance between where the players are and where they want to go. Here are some approximations:

The distances by sea, making cabotage (coastal navigation whenever possible) are as follows so that you can make a rough estimate in:

To calculate the distance from a character to its destination, the Game Master can make several ways of estimation:

In addition, if the characters want to go to a more distant place, the Game Master can consider how far that urban center is from them by "counting" the number of cities they have to pass before. So, to go for example to a nearby city it will be 180 miles, to a city far away from the kingdom 372 miles (distance x2), a city far away in the kingdom 559 miles (distance x3), the first city of the next kingdom 745 miles (distance x4), and so on.

For estimating river crossings, the average dimensions are as follows:

How does this module work?

To use this module, simply enter the distance you have estimated, choose the parameters of the trip and click on " Simulate ". The parameters to be chosen are shown below:

- Distance : If it is already known, it is enough to insert it in this field. Otherwise you will have to estimate it. As a general rule, the hexagons of a role-playing map are usually around 8-9 miles long, although you can look at the tables above and estimate distances. It is very important to give the world some dimensions, since this way it gains realism and improves immersion.

- Transport : Depending on the form of travel adopted, it will take more or less time, in addition to the costs of one or the other, which vary.

- Type of road : Below we show the types of paths that may be available. The road types apply to travel on foot. However, they can also be used for sea or air travel, representing what the environment is like. A sea or air journey during a day of rain and high winds may be impractical or wild. As a general rule the roads will be:

- Normal : which means that they are not cared for, but thanks to the fact that they are frequently used, they remain stable. These are the roads that connect villages with other villages. - Very comfortable : means that it is well maintained and well traveled. (hundreds of people a day) are the roads from a city to a metropolis in the same kingdom. - Comfortable : is one that is well maintained or that its traffic is so regular that it is kept in good condition. They are usually the direct roads that lead from a village to a city. - Uncomfortable : is the one that is left and is not much traveled, usually the roads leading to villages, hamlets or hamlets. - Impracticable : They are abandoned roads. They were once used but nowadays they have to be done on foot and make the transport of goods very difficult. They are roads that lead from one hamlet to another, for example. - Savages : There is no path, the characters have to open them themselves by following the clearings.

-  Type of trip :  This is the danger that the path has with respect to the characters and will represent the probability of events or unforeseen events occurring along the way. There are different types:

- Free Lands : are journeys that take place within the same realm. As a general rule, the inhabitants share cultures, customs and popular knowledge. - Borderlands : are routes that, without leaving the kingdom, do have a strong influence from the neighboring kingdom. They are less guarded intermediate zones where you have to travel with caution. - Wildlands : these journeys occur either outside the kingdom or in areas within the kingdom that are not monitored by the authorities. These are dangerous areas to avoid. - Dark Lands : travel in places where the law of the strongest rules. Even well escorted travelers with companies of guards will have problems in these evil areas ruled by tyrants.

-  Duration of the trip : Normal pace trips are those where you rest between 12-10 hours, with breaks to eat and regain strength. Light pace trips eat on the road and rest breaks are only 4-6 hours, which can affect the characters at the Game Master's discretion if they are long trips. If you want to know how far it is at an "Urgent" or "No rest" pace you should subtract from the normal total time 12 hours per day or 6 hours per day at a light pace.

- Additional costs : Players can choose to sleep in a backpack and eat what they hunt. Alternatively, they can buy provisions, sleep in planned inns along routes or pay a guide to help them along the way. Prices vary and are represented in silver pieces (about 3.3€ each) and copper pieces (about 0.3€ each). 1 gold piece equals 10 silver pieces and 1 silver piece equals 10 copper pieces. This is called the monetary decimal system and is the most common in role-playing games. (in D&D 1 gold coin is equivalent to 33€ approximately). If you want to know more about currencies in RPG worlds click here .

- Events : Depending on the distance of the journey and the type of travel, unexpected events may occur. These should be resolved optionally at the Game Master's discretion. When "Leader" is mentioned it refers to the character who leads the company or the most powerful one, when it refers to Difficulty Checks or Difficulty Tests, it will be at the Game Master's discretion depending on the Game system. These are usually attribute or skill checks that test the players by means of a dice roll. Events only apply to land journeys. For sea journeys you should go to the Ships module and see the possible events.

Events can be resolved one at a time, depending on which leg they are in, as the first may affect subsequent events. For example: a group encounters an herb that they confuse and use as ingredients in their food, making them sick and penalizing them in their rolls. In the last stretch they are assaulted by thieves, and being low in strength, it will cost them more than usual to defeat them.

When will solar eclipse reach your town? These maps show path's timing, how long it lasts.

Hundreds of cities in 13 u.s. states fall directly on the april 8 eclipse's path of totality as the moon blocks the sun's disc and ushers in darkness. these interactive maps offer a closer look..

Come Monday, millions of Americans from Texas to Maine will stop what they're doing to step outside and spend a few minutes gazing skyward .

Few celestial events have the power to capture our collective attention the way this upcoming total solar eclipse has managed to do. And for those making time to witness it, two questions are bound to be on their mind : Will totality reach my area and if so, how long will the resulting darkness last?

Most people across the country are bound to experience the eclipse in some form, but only 13 states fall directly on the path of totality, where the moon will appear large enough to shield all but the sun's outermost layer, the corona.

As you make your eclipse-viewing plans, these interactive maps should help you chart the time and duration for when totality will occur in cities along the path.

Solar eclipse experiment: Here's why NASA is launching 3 sounding rockets into space during the total solar eclipse

Total solar eclipse path of totality map

The 115-mile-wide path of totality will pass from southwest to northeast over portions of Mexico the United States and Canada.

Mexico's Pacific coast will be the first location in continental North America to experience totality, which will occur at about 11:07 a.m. PDT,  according to NASA .

As the moon's shadow travels northeast, totality in the U.S. will begin at 1:27 p.m. CDT in Eagle Pass, Texas. From there, the path will cut diagonally across the country before ending around 3:35 p.m. EDT in Lee, Maine.

Remember: If you plan to witness the eclipse, proper eyewear is a must until the eclipse reaches totality, then it can be viewed with the naked eye.

Here's a map of some of the larger cities in each of the 13 states on the path to show how the duration of totality will vary:

Cities, states on the path of totality

All told, nearly 500 cities in 13 U.S. states are located on the eclipse's path of totality. Here are some of the major cities in each of the 13 states:

• Dallas and San Antonio, Texas
• Idabel, Oklahoma
• Poplar Bluff, Missouri
• Little Rock, Arkansas
• Paducah, Kentucky
• Indianapolis and Evansville, Indiana
• Carbondale, Illinois
• Cleveland and Toledo, Ohio
• Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse, New York
• Burlington, Vermont
• Lancaster, New Hampshire
• Caribou, Maine
• Erie, Pennsylvania

This interactive map provides a closer look at cities along the path, when totality will arrive there and how long totality will last:

Eclipse watch parties, festivals

Such a rare event is sure to attract skygazing tourists unlucky enough to live outside the path of totality. Fortunately, many cities that will experience the total eclipse are planning plenty of festivities for tourists and locals alike.

This map , courtesy of Kristian Campana at festivalguidesandreviews.com , includes locations of watch parties, music festivals and more all tied to the eclipse's arrival:

2024 solar eclipse map: Where to see the eclipse on April 8

These 2024 solar eclipse maps will help you make the best decision about where and how to watch the total solar eclipse on Monday (April 8).

It's finally here: Today, (April 8) a total solar eclipse will pass across the skies North America, giving more than 33 million people living in 15 U.S. states a rare view of the totally-obstructed sun, and — weather permitting — a taste of some seriously strange eclipse phenomena .

If you’re wondering where the total and partial phases of the eclipse will be visible, the good news is that almost everyone in the contiguous U.S. will be able to see the celestial spectacle to some extent. But for a more detailed view of the eclipse’s path, take a look at these handy eclipse maps, courtesy of GreatAmericanEclipse.com. 

Solar eclipse 2024 path of totality map

Totality is the moment that every eclipse-chaser lives for: The moment when the moon completely covers the sun’s face, resulting in a brief but eerie darkness in the daytime. The path of totality , shown in the map above, is the path of the moon’s shadow across Earth’s surface. 

On Monday (April 8), totality will begin in Sinaloa, Mexico, then move northeast up to Texas, ultimately crossing 15 states before moving on to Canada. The states where totality will be visible are: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine — although Tennessee and Michigan will only be glanced by the moon's shadow.

Related: April 8 solar eclipse: What time does totality start in every state?

Viewers MUST be within the path of totality to witness the total phase of the eclipse; if you are off the path by even a mile, you will only see a partial eclipse, and miss out on the spooky daytime darkness. Furthermore, the closer you are to the center of the path of totality, the longer totality will last for you — up to a maximum duration of 4 minutes, 27 seconds in Torreón, Mexico.

Note: Totality is the ONLY TIME when it is safe to view the sun without protective eyewear like certified solar eclipse glasses . You must protect your eyes during the entire partial phase of the eclipse, no matter where you are.

Solar eclipse 2024 partial eclipse map

If you live in the U.S. and can’t make it to the path of totality, a partial eclipse still awaits you on April 8. The entire contiguous U.S. will have some view of the partial eclipse, ranging from 99% coverage of the sun just off the path of totality to about 15% coverage far to the northwest of the path.

The map above shows how much of the sun’s disk will be blocked from your location. Watching the partial phases of the eclipse — which last about an hour and 20 minutes before and after totality — means wearing protective eyewear at all times. Failure to do so could result in permanent eye damage, according to NASA .

If you want to experience the celestial spectacle but don’t have a pair of eclipse glasses handy, there are many other ways to safely enjoy the partial eclipse . These include making a homemade pinhole projector , using a pasta strainer to project the shadow of the moon onto the ground or watching one of the various eclipse live streams available.

2024 eclipse travel maps

If you want to see totality but don’t live within the path, driving or taking public transit to a city within the path may be possible. The map above shows how far the drive is to the path of totality, based on where you’re coming from. Meanwhile, the map below shows the most populated cities within the path of totality — many of which are expected to be flooded with millions of eclipse tourists on April 8.

The biggest cities within the path of totality include: San Antonio, Dallas, Austin and Fort Worth in Texas; Indianapolis, Indiana; Hamilton and Montreal in Canada; and Torreón and Mazatlan in Mexico.

Wherever you are on April 8, we wish you clear skies and protected eyes during this rare, wondrous eclipse over North America.

Solar Eclipse 2024: Full List of Places That Won't See It After Path Change

T he path of totality for the upcoming solar eclipse has shifted after more accurate calculations were made by a solar eclipse expert, and several areas in the U.S. originally believing they were within the path of totality are now outside of it.

On Monday, April 8, the moon will be positioned so that the entire disc of the sun will be blocked in several states, plunging millions of people into darkness during the early afternoon. The path of totality, i.e. when the sun is entirely blocked out, will start in Mexico and extend across Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine before heading over the North Atlantic.

The event is expected to draw large crowds as people head to areas in the path of totality to witness the eclipse. Officials have voiced concerns about stretched public safety resources and an "enormous strain" on local hospitals and congested roadways. At least four states have urged residents to stock up on groceries and gas and to fill medical prescriptions in the days leading up to the eclipse, as it is expected that traffic could overwhelm local roads.

Just a week before the event, eclipse calculations expert John Irwin updated the path of totality map with a slight but significant change. Many locations previously expected to be within the path of totality are now just outside of it, while others that weren't expecting to be included now are.

People living along the path of totality's northern edge through central Texas now have to travel slightly to observe the total eclipse. This includes suburbs northwest of Fort Worth, areas located on the outskirts of Dallas such as parts of Denton, and the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. The southern path expands near San Antonio and Austin, but shortly after that, it begins to narrow again through the rest of the U.S.

The solar eclipse path of totality cuts through the southeast corner of Oklahoma. Under the new map, areas like Utica, Bennington, and Tuskahoma could be outside of the path of totality.

Cities along the path of totality's border in the northwest corner of the state could have to travel for the eclipse. For example, less of the Ozark St. Francis National Forest will experience the path of totality. On the southern line of the path, Little Rock is still within the path of totality, but some outskirt cities like Wrightsville may now have less exposure to the eclipse.

In Missouri, the eclipse passes through the southeast corner. Residents in areas outside of St. Louis, like Fayetteville and parts of New Memphis, will now have to travel to see the total eclipse.

Southeastern Illinois is within the path of totality. Areas like Effingham and Paris are impacted by the new map.

The eclipse will occur in a path extending from southwestern Indiana through the central and eastern part of the state. Parts of Turkey Run State Park, Crawfordsville, Frankfort, Kokomo and Fort Wayne are now outside the path of totality.

Part of northern Cincinnati will now be outside the total eclipse line. Columbus and Youngstown also will be affected.

Less of Syracuse will be within the path of totality, as will many other communities like Rome and part of the Black River Wild Forest and the Siamese Ponds Wilderness.

Pennsylvania

The outskirts of Cooperstown, New Lebanon and certain areas of the Allegheny National Forest are now outside of the path, as well as many other communities.

Parts of Barre and Northfield are now outside of the path of totality.

New Hampshire

Mount Cabot and Milan Hill State Park are now outside of the path of totality.

Phillips, New Portland, Solon and part of Lambert Lake are outside of the path of totality.

Even if cities are outside of the path of totality now, they will still be able to observe the eclipse. However, the moon will not fully block the sun in those areas.

"John Irwin's map tries to represent reality more closely than other maps. The eclipse map did not really change: it is just computed in a more accurate way," a spokesperson from Besselian Elements, which published the map, told Newsweek . "John Irwin's eclipse map is computed using a value of the eclipse solar radius slightly larger than the traditional value and it accounts for the topography of both the lunar limb and of Earth. The lunar limb is not smooth but it has a complex profile with mountains and valleys.

"Other eclipse maps use the traditional eclipse solar radius and the eclipse path limits they depict usually do not account for the topography of the lunar limb (they use a smooth lunar limb without mountains or valleys)," the statement added. "Recent experimental determinations support a value slightly larger than the traditional value and John Irwin's map uses its most likely value."

The map is not expected to change again before the eclipse occurs next week.
