Create a visited-countries map from your records

Build the first selection from files

In Countries Map, choose photos with GPS or a supported Timeline export. Coordinates are matched against the map’s geographic boundaries. This is useful for a camera roll spread across several trips, but it measures the records you supplied, not the completeness of your passport history. Photos without coordinates add no automatic country selection.

Make the map mean what you intend

Review islands, border stops and airport transfers in the list. Decide whether you count transit and manually correct the selection. The tool follows its map dataset’s regions, which may differ from your personal country list. Save a PNG after review and describe your counting rule when you share it.

Build, check and save your map

1. Use the search list or map to select places manually. The counter and percentage update with the selection; the denominator follows the regions in this map dataset.
2. To fill the map from records, choose a supported Timeline JSON or up to 500 original photos with GPS and capture time. Imported points add regions to the existing selection. The earliest year found in the imported records may appear in the list; it is not necessarily your first-ever visit.
3. Review the result yourself. This site marks regions from coordinates and has no six-hour stay threshold or separate Lived and Want to go statuses. Remove border errors or transit stops that do not fit your definition.
4. Download PNG for an image or copy the page link to preserve selected region IDs. That link does not include your original files or imported first-visit years. Map boundaries are served with the site; this tool does not request a third-party basemap.

What to check

A map of visited regions is an illustration of the data you supplied; it does not prove every border crossing or visit was recorded.

• Select photos that still contain GPS metadata; images without coordinates cannot mark a country automatically.
• Inspect the marked countries and correct the selection before downloading your PNG.
