A TravelBoast alternative for short trips

TravelBoast draws a journey between cities on a 3D globe. Travellar zooms into the trip itself: the streets you walked, the stops you made and the photos you took at each one.

How it works

From trip to Reel

In your browser or in the iOS app, from the photos or the route you already have.

Street level

The detail a globe leaves out

A city walk or a short road trip covers a few kilometres. Travellar's map is built for that scale.

Side by side

Travellar and TravelBoast

Both turn a trip into an animated map video. TravelBoast flies a vehicle between the cities you visited on a 3D globe. Travellar follows the streets from one stop to the next, with your photos at each one.

FAQ

Switching questions

What is a good alternative to TravelBoast?

Travellar, if your trip is a walk, a day out or a short road trip. It animates the route at street level, with your photos and place names at each stop.

What is the difference between Travellar and TravelBoast?

TravelBoast shows a vehicle travelling between cities on a 3D globe. Travellar shows the route inside the trip, stop by stop, with your photos at each place.

Is Travellar better than TravelBoast?

It depends on the trip. For a walk, a day out or a short road trip, Travellar shows more: the streets, each stop's name and several photos at every one. For a long journey with a vehicle moving along the route, TravelBoast fits better.

Does Travellar animate a car or a plane along the route?

No. The camera travels the route instead, following the streets, and each stop reveals its name and photos as the route reaches it. For a vehicle flying between cities, TravelBoast is the better fit.

Does Travellar work for a long trip?

Yes. The map zooms to fit the route, from a few streets to a few countries, and follows the roads in between. What it won't do is move a vehicle along it.

Can I use both?

Yes. Many trips have both scales, the flight or the long drive and the days in each place. Animate the journey in TravelBoast, make a Travellar Reel of each city walk or day out, and put them together in your editor.

Can I import the route I used in TravelBoast?

Yes. Travellar imports a Google Maps route link or a GPX or KML file, and can also build the route from your photos.

Can I use Travellar without installing an app?

Yes. Travellar works in any browser, on your phone or computer, and there is an iOS app.

Is Travellar free?

Yes. You can create and download Reels for free, with a Travellar watermark. Premium removes the watermark and the end animation, unlocks every map style, your own music, smoother motion and higher resolutions on desktop, and starts with a free trial.

Got a day out to share?

Import the photos and see every stop on the map.
