Adding spots

There are several ways to add a new spot on your map.

Click on a place name

You can zoom into the map and directly click on any city name, depending on your preference.

Here's an example below where I simply tapped on Paris:

TravelMap admin map click on a place name

Right click anywhere on the map

If you want to add a spot somewhere on the map that doesn't have a name, you can right click (or long press on touch screens) anywhere on the map.

Optional: drag your new spot

You can be even more precise by dragging the added spot anywhere.

Use the search box

Example: type Paris inside the search box:

TravelMap admin map search box listing results in Paris

Note: the results are using open-source data from the OpenStreetMap project. They're not as accurate as the results provided by Google Maps or other private companies.

Use your current location

If you want to add new spot to show where you are, you can simply click inside the search box and select Current location

TravelMap admin map use current location to add new spots

This Current location button is a convenient shortcut to manually add a spot to your admin map. It is not to be confused with the Live Tracking feature that can add spots automatically from a GPS device.

Import GPS files

New spots can also be added by importing GPS files.

Enter coordinates

You can directly enter coordinates in the decimal format if you happen to know them.

Example: type 44.558956, 6.079220 in the search box

TravelMap admin map search box enter decimal coordinates

Finally SAVE your new spot

Make sure you click on Save to confirm adding your new spot.
