Import trips
From a Polarsteps export, a spreadsheet, or a flight or train log. The file stays on this device: only cities, dates and nights are saved. Never GPS tracks, photos, flight numbers or journal text. To find each place’s city, its rough location (to about a kilometre) is looked up.
Your file
What can I import?
Polarsteps: ask Polarsteps for a copy of your data (their help page explains how), then pick the ZIP they send, or the folder you unzipped it to. Steps become the cities they’re in; a few steps in one city are one stop.
CSV: one row per place, with the columns trip, date, place, country and optionally nights, transport, lat, lng. Rows with the same trip name are one trip. Dates like 2024-05-17. The CSV template has these columns and an example trip to write over.
Flights from Flighty, myFlightradar24 or OpenFlights: each can export your flights as a CSV; pick that file. Each flight lands in the town its airport serves.
Trains from Träwelling: export a CSV with the station coordinates ticked. Each station counts as the city it’s in.
A flight or train log becomes trips from home, the place it keeps coming back to: a trip runs from leaving home to coming back, every place you stayed is a stop, and a change of planes or trains isn’t. Out and back on the same day, like a commute, is left out.
Transport is guessed from distance when it isn’t given: over 700 km is a flight. Fix any trip afterwards in the editor.
