Yes, it exists! Give ScoutLog a try, it's an Android app that lets you save places, along with photos and notes, and tags to keep them organized. You can sync your places and photos to a Google Drive account, and then use the Chrome extension (still in beta) to edit them on the desktop.
You can also import any existing starred places you have from Google Maps or existing photos on your phone that have GPS EXIF data.
I'm actively working on both apps, so if you have any feature requests, please let me know.
I prefer to use general mapping tools.
There is scoutlog - a great app of a reddit user https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sndurkin.locationscout
Or the Google My Maps https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.m4b
There are also Pokemon specific mapping tools but I prefer the generic ones. They're more likely to not infringe some copyright stuff and if I invest time into creating my own map the app should be available for a long time.
You might want to check out ScoutLog, a location bookmarking app for Android, which I originally started developing for photographers/filmmakers to use when location scouting. It lets you save locations along with title, date, notes, and photos, and tags to keep them organized. Data can be synced across multiple Android devices and the desktop (via Chrome extension) with a Google Drive account.
A similar app available for iOS would be MapAPic.
ScoutLog does exactly what you're describing. It also supports tagging locations and syncing them across your Android devices via Google Drive.
If you have any feature requests, just let me know.
Scoutlog - I'm getting into photography as a hobby and this app lets me save a location and snap a few photos with my phone so I can come back to it later with my actual camera.
I used to just star places on Google Maps but this is way better.
ScoutLog will let you save locations along with a title, date, tags, notes, photos and audio. But it doesn't do video and I'm not actively developing it anymore. If you like the app, email me at the developer's email address and I'll send you a free promo code for the unlock app.
You can use ScoutLog for this! It lets you save locations along with photos and notes, and supports syncing the data to Google Drive.
The app's default view is a grid, which is heavily photo-based, so if you don't plan to save photos for your locations, you can either use the map view or list view without photos (there's an option in the settings to hide photos from the list view).
I'm the developer, so if you have any questions, comments, or feature requests, please let me know. I'm currently working on a Chrome extension to view your synced data on the desktop!
If you want to keep track of cool places you find along your trip, you should check out ScoutLog - it lets you save places along with photos and notes, and tag them for organization.
And if you already have starred places in Google Maps, you can import those into ScoutLog by exporting your stars via http://www.google.com/bookmarks/, and then sharing that exported file to the app.
And if you find that functionality lacking, you can export your saved places using google.com/bookmarks, and import that bookmarks file into ScoutLog, a full-featured location bookmarking app.
I'm the developer, so if you have any questions or requests for more features, let me know.
Why yes there is :) give ScoutLog a try, it lets you save locations along with photos, notes, and tags, and allows you to sync them across Android devices.
It stores all the data on your phone so you don't need to connect to the internet except for the Google Maps tiles data (which we're not allowed to save within the app).
Edit: forgot to mention, the app is in active development so if you have any feature requests or find any bugs, please send me an email!
You could possibly use ScoutLog for this; it's a location bookmarking app that lets you save GPS locations along with title, date, notes and photos, and tags for keeping them organized.
There's not an easy way to upload the data to a shareable map yet (it's more of a personal tool), but if you're serious about using the app for this, we can figure out the format you would need and I can implement it an export for it in ScoutLog.
You can try ScoutLog; it's focused more on saving places with photos, but you can configure it not to use photos if you don't plan on using them.
Check out ScoutLog, it lets you save places along with title, date, notes and photos, and tags to keep them organized. You can sync your data across multiple Android devices (and the desktop through a Chrome extension) using a Google Drive account.
Give ScoutLog a try, it's a location bookmarking app, and you can view locations in a list, grid or map display. It also lets you share any saved location to another app for navigating.
I don't know about best app, but you should check out ScoutLog :)
Save places along with photos and notes, and organize them with tags. You can sync them to Google Drive and also manage them on the desktop via a Chrome extension. I'm not quite sure what you mean by sharing but you can share an address to another app, such as for navigation, or copy just the address text or coordinates.
ScoutLog - a location bookmarking app that lets you save places along with photos, notes and tags, and sync them across Android devices. Good for location scouting!
I'm the developer, so if you have any comments, questions or feature requests, let me know.
If you're on Android, give ScoutLog a try. It lets you save GPS locations with photos, and will display the pins on a map. It doesn't yet have My Maps integration, but it's on the TODO list. I'm currently working on a Chrome extension that will let you view your data on the desktop.
I'm the developer, so if you have any requests for features that would make the app more useful to you, please let me know.
Hmm, I think this would be pretty easy to add to my app ScoutLog. Will investigate and let you know!
In the meantime, it's super easy to save your current location, it just takes 2 taps: 1 to open the app, and 1 to add a new location (the app automatically sets your current lat/lon for the location).
If you prefer to organize those pictures by location, then you should give ScoutLog a try. It lets you save places along with photos and notes (and you can add multiple photos at a time!)
You should give ScoutLog a try. It lets you save locations along with title, date, tags, notes, and photos & audio recordings. It has a widget that automatically adds a new place at your current location. ScoutLog should be as accurate as possible with the device's GPS.
I'm the developer, so if you have issues with its accuracy (that you don't have with other apps), I can look into improving it. Also, if you end up liking and using ScoutLog for your work, I'd be interested to hear what format(s) you'd want to export your data in (and any other feature requests).
ScoutLog may be able to help you with this; it allows you to save locations along with title, notes, and photos, as well as tags to keep them organized. You can also back up your data to a Google Drive account, and access it on the desktop via a Chrome extension (currently in beta). I'm the developer, so if you have any questions, please let me know.
Check out ScoutLog, it lets you save places along with title, date, notes and photos, and tags to keep them organized. You can sync your data across multiple Android devices using a Google Drive account.
You should check out ScoutLog, which can do everything you're asking for except for adding labels directly to the map. But, you can add places and then give them titles so that when you tap on the pin in the map, the title appears in a popup above the map pin.
If you want to spend the time, you can also download a bunch of icons to represent different places like parking garage, library, food/cafeteria because ScoutLog lets you attach a custom icon to a tag, and that icon will be used as the map pin if you attach it to a place. (Or you can assign colors for tags as well.)
Give it a try and see if you like it, and I can walk you through adding custom icons if that's something you're interested in. If you have any questions, let me know.
You should give ScoutLog a try. Save places along with photos and notes, and tags to keep them organized. It's similar to My Maps, but you might like ScoutLog better. There's also a Chrome extension (still in beta), so you can manage your places on the desktop.
This isn't exactly what you're asking for but it may suit your needs, depending on what they are.
ScoutLog is a location bookmarking tool that has support for saving photos. So, if you're at a location, you can open ScoutLog, create a new place and add one or more photos for it. The photos themselves won't appear on the map, but the place itself will appear as a pin. If you find the app useful for your needs, you can also import existing geotagged photos by selecting them in an app like Google Photos and sharing the collection to ScoutLog.
As /u/ErichW3 mentioned (thanks!), ScoutLog is perfect for saving locations with photos. You can sync your data across multiple devices via Google Drive, and I'm also working on a Chrome extension so you can manage your locations on the desktop.
If you have any questions about the app, please let me know.
If you have a lot of stars, you should check out ScoutLog. It's a location bookmarking app with some cool features - saving locations w/ title, notes and photos, organizing with tags, custom map markers, backing up data to Google Drive, desktop access via a Chrome extension.
You can also import all your starred places via google.com/bookmarks.
You can do that with ScoutLog, it's a location bookmarking app with some cool features - save locations with notes and photos, organize them with tags, custom map markers, back up your data to Google Drive. You can also import all your starred places.
ScoutLog lets you save important places and GPS locations, along with photos, notes and tags. You can view your saved places in a grid, map or list. You can sync them across multiple Android devices (and soon a Chrome extension!) using a Google Drive account.
If you have any questions or comments, please let me know.
There was a nice service called Pin Drop, but they're gone because they didn't got a new funding and after that Apple hired them :/ I really wish Google would have bought them because their product was way more useful for the average user than Google My Maps.
What I use to mark places is ScoutLog - it's a great app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sndurkin.locationscout
You can mark places, tag them and add photos & notes. It syncs with Google Drive, so maybe you could use it together when you and your friend share a Google account for this specific use case.
You could use ScoutLog for this; it lets you save locations along with a title, date, tags, notes and photos. I'm the developer so if you have any questions about it, please let me know!
You could give ScoutLog a try, it's a location bookmarking app. Just out of curiosity, what is treaking?
If you end up using the app and liking it, please let me know if you have requests for features that would make it more useful to you.
This doesn't fit your usecase perfectly but you could give ScoutLog a try. It allows you to save photos along with title, tags, notes and GPS location.
If you're only looking for the ability to take photos and put them into folders, then you probably want a gallery app, maybe something like QuickPic.
Check out ScoutLog not sure if it fits what you are looking for but you can put a pin on the map and add notes, add photo, take photo, record audio and add multiple tags.
Give ScoutLog a try, it lets you save places along with title, date, notes and photos, and tags to keep them organized. You can sync your data across multiple Android devices (and the desktop through a Chrome extension) using a Google Drive account.
It doesn't have statistics built into the app, but you could export all your data to a CSV file and then import it into something else to generate stats.
This doesn't have all the bells and whistles you're looking for, but you should give ScoutLog a try! It's a location bookmarking app that lets you save places along with title, notes, tags and media files. You can also sync your data across multiple Android devices and the desktop using a Google Drive account. I'm the developer, so if you have any questions or feedback on it, let me know.
ScoutLog: A location bookmarking tool that allows you to save places along with title, date, tags, notes, photos and audio recordings.
You should give ScoutLog a try, it lets you save locations along with a title and notes. If you're at the location when you enter it into the app, it will try to automatically derive the address.
A location bookmarking app like ScoutLog might be useful to help you while you get acquainted with the area. It's like the starred places feature in Google Maps, except this offers a little more functionality: You can save locations along with title, notes and photos, as well as tags to keep them organized. The free version is full-featured and lets you create up to 15 locations, which would probably be enough for learning purposes.
Are you trying to use it as a sort of location bookmarking tool? You could use ScoutLog for bookmarking locations, and you can use a custom map marker if you want (ex: a small house icon).
Give ScoutLog a try, it lets you save places along with title, notes and photos, and tags to keep them organized. You can sync your data across multiple Android devices via a Google Drive account.
If you have any questions or feature requests, please let me know.
If you save a lot of places, you might want to check out ScoutLog, a location bookmarking app. You can save places and organize them by tags, and each tag can have a map marker (either a custom color or icon).
If you have that many saved places, you should try a true location bookmarking app, like ScoutLog. Save places along with photos and notes, and tags to keep them organized. You can even import your saved places from Google Maps:
Go to https://www.google.com/bookmarks/ and click Export bookmarks. It should download a GoogleBookmarks.html file.
Transfer this file to your phone, and then share it to the ScoutLog app. For example, to do this with Google Drive: Upload on your computer, access the Drive app on your device, then tap the menu button for the file, then "Send file" or "Send a copy", then choose ScoutLog.
You can only create/import up to 15 places in the free version, but if you buy the paid version and you have problems importing your 400 places, I would work with you to get them resolved.
If your clients all have an address or location that you need to visit, then you might want to check out ScoutLog, which you can use to manage location-based data - save a location/address along with title, date, notes and even photos, and organize them with tags.
Out of curiosity, what's your business? I don't know if this will work for you, but you can try ScoutLog. It doesn't let you add text directly to the photo, but you can organize multiple photos under a lat/lon location, and save notes for each photo.
Check out ScoutLog - it lets you save locations along with a title, date, notes and photos, and organize them using tags. You can sync them across multiple devices (including the PC) using a Google Drive account.
There's no widget yet but let me know what features you'd like to see in it and I'll add it to the TODO list!
This is a late reply, but if you're using Android, check out ScoutLog - it lets you save map pins along with a title, notes and photos, and you can organize them using tags. All the data is stored on your device so you don't need internet to access them, and you can share the location to another app for navigation. It also supports syncing the data across multiple Android devices and the PC via Google Drive.
Edit: You can also import all your current Google Maps starred places by going to https://www.google.com/bookmarks/, clicking "Export bookmarks", then moving that file to your Android device and sharing it to the ScoutLog app.
Google Maps does indeed let you star places, but keep in mind if you create a lot of stars, some of them might disappear on you. This has been a problem for a couple years.
If you want to save a lot of places and have it scale well, check out <strong>ScoutLog</strong>. You can save places, view them in a list, grid or map, add photos and notes, and tags for organization. You can also sync them across Android devices using Google Drive, and manage them on the desktop with a Chrome extension.
Of course I would recommend <strong>ScoutLog</strong>, which is a location bookmarking app that lets you save places along with photos and notes, and tags to keep them organized.
But since you said "travel journal," I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't mention an actual journal app like Journey.
They are similar apps, but ScoutLog puts more emphasis on bookmarking locations, offering the ability to customize map pins and import Google Maps starred places and existing photos with GPS data. Ultimately, I recommend you try them both and go with whichever fits your needs better!
If you're on Android, check out ScoutLog. You can easily save locations along with photos and notes, and sync them to a Google Drive account. There's also a ScoutLog Chrome extension, so you can manage your locations on the desktop.
ScoutLog isn't a "mind map" but it's a location bookmarking app that lets you place pins on a map to which you can attach a date, photos, notes and tags. You can also sync them across Android devices using Google Drive (as well as the desktop via a Chrome extension, which is currently in beta).
> is there a better language to learn for this type of app?
If you're interested in Android development, you will probably want to start learning Java.
As far as I know, Google Maps starred places is a pretty limited feature. I'm working on a location bookmarking app for Android called <strong>ScoutLog</strong> which lets you save places along with photos and notes, and categorize them with tags.
If you try the app out and like it, I'm working on a good way to import starred places from Google Maps, but that feature probably won't be out for another month or two. If you want to import starred places into the app now, you can do it manually and I can walk you through the steps.
If you like scouting for locations, I'm working on an Android app called ScoutLog that helps with that by allowing you to save locations along with photos, notes, and tags for organization.
You can use ScoutLog for location scouting and keeping track of favorite photo spots. I'm the developer and always looking to improve it, so shoot me a message or email if you have any feature requests.
I don't know if this is exactly what you want but you can try ScoutLog if you're on Android. It lets you add pins to a map along with a title, tags, notes and photos.
I don't know about an all-in-one app but I think ScoutLog would be able to help you maintain a picture diary w/ map location. It lets you save locations along with title, tags, notes and photos, and you can sync them across your Android devices using Google Drive.
If you're trying to pin locations along with extra information, like tags, photos or notes, you could also give ScoutLog a try. You can pin them directly from ScoutLog and then open in Here Maps. It also lets you back everything up using Google Drive.
Give ScoutLog a try, it lets you add locations along with photos, tags, and notes, and has a map view so you can see them as pins.
ScoutLog does exactly what you're describing, although it doesn't yet have calendar integration or custom icons for pins (that's on the todo list). You can currently specify your own colors for pins, though!
I'm always looking to add useful new features to it, so could you elaborate on calendar integration? Do you just mean the ability to create a reminder our event for a location?
You could give ScoutLog a try, it's a location bookmarking app that allows you to save locations along with a title, description, tags, and photos.
Its development is heavily based on user feedback, too, so if you have requests for features that would make it more useful for you, please don't hesitate to ask.
You could give ScoutLog a try. It allows you to save photos for a location along with title, tags, and notes, and notes can also be added for each photo. It syncs locations across devices using a Google Drive account (a desktop version is planned for the future). The free version is restricted to 10 locations, 2 photos per location, and the unrestricted version is $1.
You should check out ScoutLog!
ScoutLog can help you do that if location is important for managing the photos (it's a location-centric app that also lets you save photos and notes).
If you're just looking for a way to manage photos and notes together, you may want a diary app, like Journey, or a notes app that supports photos, like Evernote.
If you ever need more functionality than what Google Maps stars provides, you should check out ScoutLog.
Save GPS locations along with photos and notes using ScoutLog, for when starring places in Google Maps isn't enough.
It looks like it still saves location data (?) but sorting by location is only available on the Android app (??)
https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005037-How-to-save-note-location-information
That's bizarre.
I use ScoutLog for this purpose, you can open it, snap a photo, and it automatically saves your location and you can do tags and notes or add more photos. It's pretty neat. Also only Android though.
Ooh! I already wrote a review for this for r/androidapps a few weeks ago but I love this app! It's ScoutLog, it's a GPS enabled location bookmarking app, and it filled a need I didn't really know I had.
Essentially it's just a location notebook. You can open it where you are, save your location on a Google-Maps-based map, save keyword tags or add a note, and save photos of that location. It syncs across devices and has a Chrome extension. It can also pull GPS coordinates from your photograph's EXIF data.
You can see some of my progress in three screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/dITinBV
I guess it's aimed at photographers so they can remember good locations to shoot pictures, but I see it fulfilling two uses for me:
- a handy, visual gallery of places I liked, so those days when I'm bored I can just scroll through and remember what's where - as a bonus, I can see their distance at a glance
- a visual and location-based reminder of things I want to purchase. Sometimes I can't remember which rare food item is at what ethnic grocery store, or I see things in a shop across town that I might want to purchase later for a birthday or something
Google actually had an app like this, "My Maps," but it appears to be dead. Google Maps itself is an option, but seems geared less around private notes and memories and more towards publishing your photos and reviews for other users. I could just use OneNote or Evernote for this, right? But they don't have GPS and a map neatly tied right into it, and the notes would get lost in the shuffle.
I doubt this will win the contest because it's a niche app, but I just hope more people realize how cool it is and the app continues to be used.
I recommend at least giving it a whirl for a couple weeks. When you're somewhere interesting, open a log and snap a photo!
You should give ScoutLog a try if you need an app to save and organize pinned locations.
