States I’ve been to map, filled in from your photos

Wondering what states you have been to? Import the photos from your trips and CountryVisit lights up every US state you have a geotagged photo in, counts them, and keeps the map in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Make my states map How it works

What states have I been to?

Your camera roll already knows. Every photo taken with a phone or a GPS camera stores where it was shot. CountryVisit reads that location from the file, in your browser, and matches it to the state it falls in. A weekend in Nashville lights Tennessee; a drive along Route 66 lights Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California in one go. You do not click states one by one and you do not have to remember: if you photographed it, it counts.

The map opens in the Regions view for the United States, so state borders and names are visible, and each lit state shows how many photos put it there.

How many states have I been to?

The counter under the map answers it: the number of states with at least one geotagged photo, out of 50. Washington, D.C. and the territories (Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands) light up as well but are listed separately, so your count stays comparable with the classic “how many of the 50 states” question.

Airport layovers count only if you took a photo there, which is a reasonable rule: most people do not claim a state they never left the terminal in.

How it works

  1. Open the US map. The button above opens CountryVisit with the United States already selected in the Regions view.
  2. Import your photos. Choose a folder on your computer, pick photos from your phone, or send a whole year from your iPhone with the free Shortcut.
  3. Watch the states fill in. Each matched photo lights its state. Click a state for its photos, go fullscreen for a clean shot to share.

Photos are read locally. Only the coordinates are used, and they stay on your device unless you turn on cloud backup.

Common questions

Does it work outside the United States?
Yes. The same Regions view shows Canadian provinces, Mexican states, Australian states, Japanese prefectures and other first-level regions, and the world map counts countries.
Can I add a state by hand?
Not yet. CountryVisit is built around proof from photos; states light up only when a geotagged photo places you there.
Which photos have location data?
Originals from an iPhone or Android camera roll, and RAW or JPEG files from a camera with GPS. Screenshots and most images received in chat apps have no location and are skipped.
Is it free?
Yes. The map, the counter and the iPhone Shortcut are free. An optional account adds cloud backup.
