Getting Started

1 Create your account

Open the app and click Register.

Choose a username (unique), enter your email, and set a password (at least 8 characters).

2 Create your first trip

From the Dashboard, click New Trip.

  • Code: a short unique name (e.g. TOSCANA2024)
  • Description: what this trip is about
  • Map type: OpenStreetMap or Topographic

3 Add your first waypoint

Open the trip and choose one of three methods to add a point:

Adding Waypoints

Manual coordinates

Enter latitude and longitude directly. Great when you have exact GPS coordinates.

Geolocation (GPS)

Use your phone's GPS to save your current position. Works best outdoors.

Upload a photo

Upload a photo taken with GPS enabled. NavigaTrack reads the location and time from the image automatically.

Tip: Every waypoint can be edited or deleted later from the trip detail page.

Viewing Maps

Open any trip to see an interactive map with your route drawn automatically.

  • Zoom: scroll wheel on desktop, pinch on mobile
  • Pan: click and drag (desktop) or swipe (mobile)
  • Details: tap a marker to see the note, date, and a link to Google Maps

You can switch between street view and topographic view using the layer control on the map.

Sharing Trips

Every trip is private by default. To share a trip with others:

  1. Open the trip and click Edit
  2. Enable the sharing toggle
  3. Copy the public link and send it to anyone

Anyone with the link can view the trip and its map — no account needed.

Embed on your website

You can also embed the live map in any webpage using the iframe link found on the trip page.

Email notifications

Visitors can subscribe to a trip by email. They'll get notified automatically every time a new waypoint is added.

Notifications

NavigaTrack can send email notifications every time a new waypoint is added to a trip. There are two ways to set this up:

Trip owner: add notifiers directly

  1. Open your trip and click Notifications
  2. Click Add Notifier
  3. Enter the email address to notify
  4. Click Save — the email is active immediately (no verification needed)

Visitors: subscribe to a trip

  1. Open the public trip page (shared link)
  2. Click Subscribe and enter your email
  3. Check your inbox and click the verification link
  4. Done — you'll receive an email each time a new waypoint is added

Unsubscribe: Every notification email includes an unsubscribe link. Click it to stop receiving notifications for that trip.

Trip Analytics

Every shared trip has a built-in analytics dashboard that shows who's been viewing it.

To access it, open your trip and click Analytics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work on my phone?
Yes. NavigaTrack is fully responsive and works great on phones, tablets, and desktops. GPS waypoint creation works directly from your mobile browser.
Are my trips private?
Yes, all trips are private by default. Only you can see them. You must explicitly enable sharing to make a trip public.
What photo formats work for GPS waypoints?
JPEG and PNG photos taken with GPS enabled on your camera. The GPS coordinates and timestamp are read from the image's EXIF data.
Is there a limit on waypoints or trips?
No limits. You can create as many trips and add as many waypoints as you like.
Can I use it offline?
An internet connection is needed to load maps and save waypoints. Tip: save your coordinates while offline and enter them later when you have a connection.
How do I reset my password?
Click 'Forgot password?' on the login page. Enter your username or email, and you'll receive a reset link valid for 24 hours.
