There’s an app for that

Plot your path with the Polarsteps app

Keep your phone in your pocket while tracking your road trip with the free Polarsteps app. Share it with everyone or keep it to yourself. Along the way, you can add notes and images to help document the places you’ve visited and what you got up to while you were there. Your friends and family can follow your journey, feeling as though they are in the passenger seat. You can then relive your memories by getting your road trip printed into your own personal travel book that shows your statistics, route and photos.

Price: Free for iPhone and Android

Second Everyday – video diary app

Imagine a movie that includes every day of your road trip. Commit to taking one-second-long videos on your phone every day and the unique Second Everyday app will string them together to create a video. The longer you use the app, the richer your video, but you’ll never have to bother with editing or recording for more than a second at a time.

Make a scrapbook
