Travelmap helps you show your travels on a Google map in any post or page. Add places you have visited or plan to visit to show them connected on a world map.
Add arrival dates to automatically show your current position and where you have been so far. Map markers and city names can be linked to a custom url – for example a blog post, wikipedia entry or Flickr album. Geocoding is done automatically based on city and country – but if you need to you can override with your own coordinates.
The maps and lists can be customized using shortcode attributes. There is a full list of available options under the installation tab.

<a href="http://polarsteps.com/" title="Polarsteps.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Polarsteps.com</a> offers a great way of logging your travel experiences. The app does record GPS Locations “Steps”. The user can add images and texts for them. However, for multiple reasons, a lot of travelers are having WordPress travel blogs up and running. If they still want to use Polarsteps and show their last location in their WordPress instance, this plugin offers basic integration between both worlds.
While being on my round the world trip, I was looking into several options how to communicate back home from my journey. In the end, I thought a combination of a traditional blogging platform used to write posts and an app like Polarsteps offers the most flexibility for me while traveling. If my girlfriend or I want to write an article what happened in the last days (for multiple locations) we can do so. If it’s just about letting everyone know where I was, I use polarsteps travel tracker. Still, for the audience it is important to have all in one place – and have a single point of knowledge.
This plugin does the first approach to caching the “Steps” on WordPress-side and giving to the users a brief information within a widget where and when the last location within polarsteps was set.

<h3>Disclaimer</h3>
As I’m not part of the company behind Polarsteps and just developed the plugin for personal purposes, I reached out to them, in order to check, if they might support the plugin officially. Mainly due to business and UX reasons, they responded they could not officially support my approach. This means the APIs on their side could change from one day to another. In this case, the plugin would stop getting new steps from your Polarsteps profile.
