How to Keep a Location Diary and See Your Day on a Map
Short answer: save a short note at each place, and let the app record the location once at the moment you save. At the end of the day, open the map: the notes appear as numbered pins joined by a line.
Why not a tracking app?
Tracking apps record GPS all day in the background, which drains battery and stores more than you need. A note-based location diary only saves a point when you write something, so each pin has a reason.
How to do it in Jotpath
1. Allow location when asked (you can turn it off later). 2. Write one line wherever you are: a cafe, a station, a view. 3. Open the map for the day to see pins 1, 2, 3 joined in order. 4. Use the calendar to jump back to any past trip day.
Tips for trips
Add a #tag such as #tokyo to every note on a trip, then search the tag later. Attach a photo to the notes you want to remember most.
FAQ
Does it record location in the background?
No. Location is read once, only when you save a note.
Can I write notes without location?
Yes. Turn location off in Settings; notes still save on the timeline.
Can I see a past day's route?
Yes. Pick the day from the calendar and open its map.
