The Fieldbook
An unfolding journey, one conversation at a time.
Review driving mileage
On iPhone: Google Maps → profile → Settings → Location & Privacy → Export Timeline data → Save to Files.
Your file stays on this device. Only dates, mileage and inclusion choices are saved privately. No addresses or GPS tracks are uploaded. Drives must fall entirely between departure and home.
Saving uses the included Timeline miles as the trip counter. Route estimates remain in your private log but are not added. Import again to update the total; returning home preserves it.
Build the itinerary
One US city and state or complete street address per line. Map dots are added automatically when a location matches. Paste all 40–50 now or add them as you go. Signed-in Framily Members can see city-level stops. Publish to also show them to visitors who are not signed in.
The next chapter is taking shape.
No stops have been published yet. Come back for towns, conversations, and notes from the road.
Mileage adds driving-route estimates between logged arrivals. Detours and GPS movement are not tracked. Finishing at home preserves the final total.
