Shared travel map
app.
Journey-scoped pins both partners see instantly. Offline-ready. Not another Google Maps list only one person maintains.
A shared travel map app syncs pins between everyone on the trip. ONVA is free on iOS and Android.
Built for couples and nomads who travel together
Google Maps lists weren't built for shared trips
Google Maps saved lists work for solo travelers bookmarking spots. For couples and groups, they break down fast. One person creates the list. Sharing requires account linking or sending links. Updates do not always sync in real time. Offline access is inconsistent. And the list has no connection to your expenses, chat, or documents.
The workaround is familiar: screenshot pins, forward Instagram links in WhatsApp, or text addresses nobody saves. By day three, you have spots in three places and neither partner trusts the list.
ONVA's shared travel map is journey-scoped. Both partners pin together. Updates appear instantly. Pins work offline. And every spot lives in the same workspace as your expense splits and trip chat.
The problem
One map. One person. Zero sync.
Saved lists don't travel well with a partner.
Pins on one phone
One partner saves spots. The other finds out when they are already in the taxi.
Link forwarding
Instagram reels and blog posts forwarded in chat. Nobody pinned them on a map.
Offline gaps
Saved lists that do not load without signal when you need directions most.

Real travelers, not marketing filler.
“I pin every café and viewpoint from client shoots. My boyfriend sees the same map instantly instead of me forwarding Instagram links.”
KathyUGC creator · Koh Phangan“We used to have a shared Notes doc, a Splitwise group, and 200 screenshots. ONVA replaced all three on day one of our Sri Lanka trip.”
