Introduction

Geofoobar is a travel journal and GPS trip editor. You record or import your routes, style them on a map, add photos and a written story, export animated map videos, and keep each trip private or share it publicly on Geofoobar.

What can I do with Geofoobar?

  • Keep trips. Each trip holds tracks, named locations, a story and photos/videos. See Trips.
  • Write stories. Combine text, photos, videos and animated maps, and export a story to PDF. See Stories.
  • Make animated maps. Style tracks and locations and export an MP4 video or a PNG image. See Maps.
  • Explore others' trips. Browse public trips in the feed. See Feed.
  • Have a public profile. Share all your public trips at /@yourhandle. See Profile.

Geofoobar works in a web browser on any device. The Geofoobar mobile app can record tracks and sync them to your account.

What is the difference between the Free and Personal plans?

There are two plans: Free and Personal (EUR 3 per month). The exact numeric limits (number of trips, tracks and locations per trip, storage, video size, duration and frames per second, GPX upload size, routing requests per day) are shown in My Profile > Plan Comparison and can change, so always check that page.

Things that are restricted on the Free plan:

  • Basemaps: only the Basic basemap. The other 15 basemaps need Personal.
  • Video resolutions: Square 1080x1080 (default), SD 640x480, HD 1280x720 and HD vertical 720x1280. Full HD, 4K, A4, Letter and Custom sizes need Personal.
  • Video length and quality: the frames per second, duration and size are capped to the plan limits when you save or export.
  • Logo: the Geofoobar logo on rendered videos cannot be switched off.

When you reach a limit, an Upgrade dialog explains which limit and offers Upgrade, See the limits or Dismiss.
