Polarsteps - Automatically track your journeys on a stunning map

Hey @koendroste, maybe you can tell us the story on why you made this?

I love it! There aren't that many good ways of visually logging travels, but this looks great! That being said, these kinds of travel apps always struggle with getting a decent user base. It's not too surprising as most people don't travel enough to form habits around products like this. Do you have any plans for addressing this issue? (I would love Tripit and Foursquare integration btw) I'm not sure if calling Palestine "false" is entirely appropriate either 😜:

Just wondering if this is a passion project or how you will make money? I take about one big trip a year. I probably would not be willing to pay for my GPS points on a map. That being said, it looks awesome.

This is a cool app! Will definitely keep using this for logging my own upcoming trips. Also, as suggested above, I am very curious how you will be able to get inspired by following/browsing other travelers. Would be a great feature.

Congrats on the release! Great work. Reminds me of this: http://www.nytimes.com/interacti...

I love this! I travel back and forth and this is going to be cool to visualize later on!

Is there anyway to view popular accounts?

It'd be really cool if you could pull in my geotagged Instagram photos too.

so i'm new user from now, love the idea. now i need to travel somewhere

This app does what you need it to do, no feature creep or other shenanigans.

Pros:

Beautiful and simple.

Cons:

The app could be a bit faster and more responsive.
