MyFavsMapMapstr: the social app to save your spots
Mapstr is a hugely popular mobile app (iOS and Android) with over 3 million users. Its strength is the social side: save a place in one tap, sort it with colour tags, and above all follow friends to discover their recommendations. It also imports your places from Google Maps, works offline and lets you share a link.
Its limits: it's first and foremost an app to install, built for mobile and for saving on the go — not for building a real day-by-day trip plan. Itinerary planning stays light.
MyFavsMap: turn your favourites into a travel plan
MyFavsMap is a web app (PWA): nothing to install, it runs in the browser, on desktop and phone alike. You import your Google Maps favourites, they appear sorted automatically by category and area, then you generate optimised day-by-day itineraries, access everything offline and share public maps — all in 5 languages.
In short: Mapstr helps you save and discover; MyFavsMap helps you organise and plan.
