Field notes

Wanderlapse takes a Google Maps Timeline export through the iPhone share menu, matches its points to Apple Maps roads, and renders the result locally before saving it to Photos. Its example uses 1,298 points across a 37-day, 2,833-kilometre journey, comparing 842 kilometres of actual road travel with 598 kilometres of straight-line distance. The page offers square, vertical, and horizontal formats, with a free allowance of one video per week and a separate Pro tier.
