Adventure Map

Explore every public journey on one world map.

Every Journey on One Map

app.pebbls.com/adventure-map opens on a globe with every public journey. Journeys close together are grouped into one bubble ("5 journeys"); click it to zoom in. Click a journey on the map, or a card in the carousel along the bottom, to open its route and Pebbls. Your own journey link (pebbls.com/adventure-map/you/journey) opens straight on that journey. On your first visit a short tour points out the journey carousel, the map controls, the Pebbl navigator and the keyboard shortcuts.

On a Phone

Tap a Pebbl and it opens as a sheet over the lower half of the map, so you can still see where it is. Swipe the handle up to see the whole Pebbl, down to shrink or close it, and sideways for the next photo or Pebbl.

Slideshow

Click Photos on a journey or chapter to play its photos full screen. Set the interval, press Space to pause, use the arrow keys to move between photos and Esc to close. The slideshow has its own link you can share.

Live Journeys

Journeys being tracked live show a LIVE badge and refresh as new points arrive, and the map tells you when someone goes live or stops. Follow keeps the map centred on the moving marker.
