Trip Tracker
The yellow dots in the above are where I have taken a photo.
This is a project I started in 2018 (before it was a feature on your phone) and I update about once a year. I am not a software developer so updating it is always full of dramas. Between data issues, Tableau fighting me, forgetting how to use a command line interface to manage the infrastructure and Google changing its policies, it always gets complicated.
I am proud of it though, so it lives on for now.
Most recently updated December 2024 to include a trip to Peru and Colombia.
It is better on a computer than a mobile but you can zoom in and move around.
If you would like to find out more about some of the places:
