In short

Cartina is a travel app with a dark globe that fills in each country you have visited, down to provinces, states, regions and prefectures across 239 countries. It suits people who want a detailed record of their trips and works offline, with place collections to check off and a Schengen day counter. What stands out is that it logs visits at subdivision level, so visiting California, Oregon and Maine counts as separate entries.

About

A dark globe where every country you have visited lights up. Spin it with your finger, tap a country, watch your map fill in year after year.

Further than countries.

Most travel maps stop at national borders. Cartina goes down to provinces, states, regions and prefectures — 3,649 subdivisions across 239 countries. You did not “visit the United States”, you visited California, Oregon and Maine.

Everything works without a connection Countries are identified on the device, from maps bundled inside the app. You can check off a country in the middle of the desert or in mid-flight. Even place search keeps answering offline, from the cities, landmarks and sites built into the app.

Count your days How many days abroad this year, how many you have left in the Schengen Area — and, when you are there, your last allowed day. With Cartina Pro: your days country by country against the 183-day threshold, and a reminder 7, 3 and 1 day before the Schengen limit.

Things to check off 141,810 places across eighteen collections: mountains, lakes, waterfalls, volcanoes, dive sites, golf courses, world cities, airports, national parks, world capitals, landmarks, ports, trails and great treks, World Heritage sites, natural wonders, dream islands, extreme points, wonders of the world. Browse them for free; checking them off comes with Cartina Pro.

Set yourself a course 50 countries, every Canadian province, ten summits: with Cartina Pro, goals that move forward on their own, and eighteen badges earned along the way.
