It is also possible to send round a link to the animation to people. Whenever I’ve shown an animation to people, I’ve always gotten enthusiastic reactions. The animations look stunning and make a great souvenir of the activity, but it is also a nice way to let family and friends experience your outings. Apart from the 3D track and your photos, you will also get some interesting stats about your activity, like elevation, fastest point of ride / walk etc. Moreover, it retrieves photos from your phone that have been taken during the time of the activity and adds them to the animation at the correct place. It uses GPS data from a range of activity trackers like Strava, Garmin or Under Armour and overlays it on an animated 3D map. The app works with both Apple and Android phones. The very best thing of all is, that the animations are super simple to create (and your friends will be impressed). You get to see the detailed route and any photos taken during the activity. The app essentially creates a 3D visualisation of all your walks, cycle rides, ski slope descents and more.

I regularly make an old fashioned, paper photo album to capture my travel memories, but I’m also a bit of a sucker for technology, so when a friend mentioned the app Relive to me a few of months ago I was immediately intrigued.
