What you’ll achieve

By the end of this guide you can see your year as a map: which countries you filled, how close each one is to its limit, and the order you moved between them.

It is the same data as the dashboard cards, arranged so that a shape catches your eye before a number does.

Step 1: Open the map

Open the Dashboard tab, tap More in the top right, then Fiscal Map.

The More menu open on the dashboard, listing Fiscal Map, Monthly Report, Edit Widgets and Edit Layout

The map tile in the widget strip opens the same screen if you have it there.

Step 2: Read the map

The screen is titled Fiscal Year Map, and it opens on the country you are in now.

The Fiscal Year Map showing Thailand filled in green with a flag pin reading 59, a Safe, Warning and Danger legend, and a bar reading 4 countries, 133 days, Thailand 59d

Every country you have logged days in this year is filled and pinned with its flag and its day count. Thailand is pinned 59.

The colour is the fiscal status of that country, and the legend in the bottom left says which is which. Green is safe, orange is a warning, red is danger. The rule behind them is fixed: red once you are at or past the country’s day limit, orange inside the last 14 days before it, green everywhere else.

The legend hides itself after five seconds. The bar along the bottom stays: 4 countries, 133 days, and the country with the most days.

Step 3: Open a country from the map

Tap a country’s pin.

A sheet over the map reading Thailand 59 of 180, with View Details and Add Days buttons

The sheet names the country and its count against its limit, 59 / 180 here. View Details opens the country’s detail screen with its stays. Add Days opens the manual entry sheet with that country already filled in, which is the quickest way to record a trip you can see is missing.

Step 4: Use the map controls

Tap the ... button in the top left.

The map options menu listing Replay, Search, Standard with a tick, Hybrid and Share

Four things live here.

Replay animates the year. Search finds a country by name. Standard and Hybrid switch the map style, and the tick shows which one you are on. Share renders a card with the year, the country count, the day total and your top five countries.

Step 5: Replay the year

Tap Replay.

The map flies from country to country in the order your history says you travelled, one month at a time, with the month and country named at the bottom: January · Spain, then February · Thailand, and so on to the end of the year.

While it plays, the ... button becomes a stop button. Tap it to end the playback early.

Check your result

Read the bottom bar and compare it with the dashboard. The country count and the day total match the This year tile, because both count logged days in the selected year.

Then check a colour against a card. A country the map fills green should be comfortably under its limit on its dashboard card; one it fills orange should be within 14 days of it.

If something looks different

The map is empty. No logged days in the selected year. The map follows the dashboard’s year chip, so check the year first, then your history.

A country you visited is not on the map. Only countries with logged days appear. A day you spent in a country with no entry is invisible here, which is one more reason to close gaps.

A country is green when you expected orange. The threshold is 14 days before the limit, not a percentage. A country at 100 of 183 is still green.

A country is red and you never set a limit for it. A country with no rule of its own is measured against the default 183 days. Give it its own limit under Settings, then Countries & Regions.

Replay does nothing. It needs at least one visited country, and the button is disabled until the map has finished loading.

The search result has a green tick. The tick means you have logged days in that country. Countries without one are in the list so you can fly to them and add days.
