The problem

Travel content is trapped in vertical videos.

Millions of travel tips and hidden gems live inside Instagram Reels and TikToks, but bookmarking them creates a graveyard of unorganized clips. When travelers actually arrive at a destination, opening saved posts one by one with spotty roaming data is frustrating, slow, and unorganized.

How it works

From reel bookmarks to offline GPS routes in seconds.

InstaRoute connects to your saved reels via a lightweight Chrome Extension, uses Gemini 1.5 Flash with deterministic NLP fallback to extract precise locations, sequences them into an optimal daily itinerary, and exports offline-ready KML maps for Organic Maps and MAPS.ME alongside printable PDF dossiers.
