Getting started

Sign in

  1. Open travels.mycle.dev and select Sign in with Google.
  2. Choose the Google account you want to use. MycleTravels only supports Google sign-in, and only accepts accounts with a verified email address.

Your account is created the first time you sign in.

Request access

MycleTravels is invite-only. A new account has no access until an administrator approves it.

After signing in you land on the access pending page, where you can:

  • Add an Optional note telling the administrators who you are or why you want access.
  • Select Request access to send the request.

An administrator is notified. Once your account is approved you are taken to your profile the next time you sign in. If a request is declined, the page says so and you can submit a new one.

note

If someone invited you by email, your account is approved automatically the first time you sign in with that address — you never see the pending page.

Find your way around

Once approved, the navigation bar has four sections. On a phone they appear as a bar along the bottom of the screen.

SectionWhat it is for
MapYour world map with every visited location and trip route. Start here.
EditThe same trip and location editor without the map, for fast list-based editing.
LibraryEvery photo you have uploaded, with filters and bulk actions.
ProfileYour account overview, settings, themes, and photo uploads.

Administrators also see an Admin section with a badge showing how many access requests are waiting.

Selecting your avatar in the top right opens a menu where you can switch between Light and Dark mode and sign out.

A good first hour

  1. Go to Profile → Upload photos and upload a batch of travel photos.
  2. Open the Map. Photos that carried GPS data have already become locations.
  3. Select Add location to add anywhere the photos missed.
  4. Select Add trip, then add locations to it in the order you traveled.
  5. Go to Profile → Settings, pick a username, and set your profile to public.
  6. Open a trip and select Share to get a link.
