Sign in and your photos go to a folder in your own Drive, not ours. They stay yours — if this site ever vanishes, they’re still sitting there.
Repair my Drive data
If photos or notes look missing, this rescans your Drive folder, rebuilds the photo list and
re-syncs your notes from both places they live. Safe to run any time — it only ever adds things back.
Offline — keep the whole atlas on this phone
Checking…
Find me when the app opens
Locate you on launch and open the nearest city automatically. Your position stays on your device.
My photos
Every picture you’ve added, grouped by place.
Your name on shared albums
Shown on anything you share. Leave it blank to use your Google name.
My username
Claim a name and your map lives at a readable address instead of
a long code.
Let people find me in search
Off by default. Your name works either way — this only
decides whether strangers can come across you.
Who can see my photos
See exactly who has access, add or remove people, or lock it
down to named people only.
My social links
Add up to four — Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and the rest —
and they ride along on anything you share.
Share my map
Turns your photo folder into a link anyone can open — they see your shots as pins
on the map, and nothing else of yours.
New notes are shared
Notes are private unless you say otherwise. Turn this on and new notes start out
shared, which means they move into your shared folder for anyone with the link.
Move my notes into the shared folder
Marks every note you have written as shared and copies them into your Drive folder in one go.
You can put any of them back to private afterwards.
Hide the light-window filters
Tucks Dawn / Morning / Golden and the rest away, leaving one “Light” button that opens
them when you need it. It turns gold whenever a filter is actually on, so nothing hides silently.
Always save my pictures in full res
Store every photo at the size your camera shot it.
Show photos in spot popups
Load a reference picture inside the popup so you can see the shot before you go.
Admin settings. These ship to everyone once you export and deploy the config file.
Saving here only changes your browser — use Export at the bottom, drop the file into data/, and redeploy.
Used by the 📷 button and the popup thumbnail. Tokens:
{q}{name}{city}{country}{lat}{lon}.
Point it at an image file and the site can truly verify it before showing it.
Blank = that button stays hidden. These are visible in the page source once deployed — that is normal and unavoidable for affiliate links.
Paste a prefilled-form link and swap the sample answers for tokens:
{name}{lat}{lon}{city}{country}{win}{note}{verdict}{metres}{photo}{by}{streetview}{earth}{json}.
Responses land in your Sheet — no server needed. Takes priority over the endpoint below.
Where “submit for review” POSTs. Blank = the user downloads a JSON file to send you instead.
Only change this if you regenerate the OAuth client. Blank uses the one built in.
The Worker that holds usernames, so people can search for each other.
Blank means no directory at all — share links still work, and the report sheet still
sends people to Google.
Off unless there is a URL here. Always skippable, never on every clip.
Leave it empty and no ad code runs at all.
JSON. Key by city slug or spot id; any link you set here replaces the generated one for that place.
Example: {"kyoto":{"tours":"https://…"},"kyoto-fushimi-inari":{"stay":"https://…"}}

How should we save it?
Either way, keep your own master for printing and social — this is a placeholder for the map.

Cover any faces
Drag a box over each face or anything else you’d rather not publish. It’s pixelated into the
picture itself, so what gets sent is already covered. Nothing is detected automatically — you choose.
✈️ Offline — cached cities and your list still work
AD
My social links
Up to four, shown as small round buttons on anything you share. Anyone who
opens your map can tap straight through to you — which is the point, and also worth
a second’s thought before you add one.
Who can see my photos
This is Google Drive’s own sharing, shown here so you don’t have to go
digging for it. Whatever this says is exactly what Google is enforcing.
They get an email from Google with the link. Use the
address they actually sign in to Google or Microsoft with.
Before you look around
This album is private
Its owner shared it with named people rather than with anybody who has the link. If one of
those people is you, open it in Google Drive with the account it was sent to — Google will
let you straight in.
These photos and videos are not on our servers. They sit in this person’s
Google Drive, and Google is who can take them down. Here is the folder — copy it, or open
Google’s form with it already filled in.
This photo does have GPS in it — your gallery can see it. But
Android’s photo picker hands websites a copy with the coordinates blanked out, so what
reached us reads 0.000, 0.000. That is a privacy feature, not a fault in your pictures.
