MapChart alternative for travel maps
MapChart is a free web tool for building custom static maps — you manually color countries or regions, pick a palette and export an image. It's excellent for presentations and infographics, but it isn't built as a travel tracker.
PinnedWorld is a free, browser-based alternative: an interactive world map where you pin the countries and30,000+ cities you've visited, watch your percentage of the world grow, and export a shareable image or a print-ready poster — no install, no signup to start.

Which should you pick?
Pick MapChart if you need a custom static map for a presentation, article or infographic — any coloring, any legend, full control.
Pick PinnedWorld if the map is about your travels: it counts visited countries and cities automatically, remembers your map between visits, and turns it into a share image or an A2 poster.
Start with your visited countries map or go straight to city level with the visited cities map.
