It's not clear if there is a way to record automatically your position from your smartphone or if you have to do it manually.

I will give it a try later, I'm interested in documenting my walking on the Camino de Santiago next year.

edit : there are options available in premium plus however it's not possible from a smartphone. What happens when I stop paying for premium plus ?

There is no mobile app yet but the admin is fully responsive. Most users update their blog from their phone/tablet.

You can add a spot manually each day (using geolocation or search) or use the Live Tracking feature but that requires a GPS satellite tracker and a Premium Plus account (mostly intended for sailors and desert expeditions).

I just cycled on the Camino de Santiago last month. Here's my TravelMap: https://clem.travelmap.net/cycling-to-portugal

When you stop paying for a Premium account, your blog will automatically switch back to a Free account. No data is deleted.

I thought of a travel blog where you can send texts to your a unique # and it will post your msg / pics and location. very minimal but great way to keep track of position that changes often.

Great job!
