Solution
Replay Stats Bar
• Added a dynamic statistics bar at the bottom of trajectory replay showing duration, countries visited, cities visited, and total distance
• Stats update in real-time with spring-animated number transitions as waypoints are reached
Example
• Includes brand logo, product name, and QR code for a polished share-ready layout
• Stats bar remains visible during screen recording for seamless video output
Globe Orbit Mode
• Added globe orbit mode with starfield canvas background and orbit controller
• New overlay component for globe orbit visualization
Reverse Geocoding
• Added offline country detection using NaturalEarth boundary data with point-in-polygon
• Added city detection via MapLibre CARTO vector tile queries with 50km proximity threshold
Bug Fixes
• Removed cursor-hiding hack during screen recording that caused visual glitches
• Fixed fragment mode initial zoom to preserve user's current map center instead of resetting to (0, 20)
Refactor
• Consolidated "Powered by Locusify" watermark into the replay stats bar, eliminating duplicate branding
• Simplified RegionFillLayer by removing canvas-based photo clipping in favor of highlight fills
• Extracted recording flow into dedicated `useRecordingFlow` hook, separating concerns from overlay components
• Moved replay intro overlay to MapSection level for sharing between trajectory replay and globe orbit
• Removed unused `image-processing.ts` utility module
Decision Criteria at Bottom Funnel
Bottom-funnel readers are evaluating confidence, switching cost, and output predictability. Generic feature lists are rarely enough.
Content should prioritize decision dimensions: onboarding time, migration friction, and quality consistency.
For "locusify update", define clear evaluation criteria so readers can choose quickly based on their workflow reality.
Comparison Method That Builds Trust
Use one real dataset across tools and compare three metrics: completion time, correction workload, and final publish quality.
A practical baseline flow remains: Replay Stats Bar • Added a dynamic statistics bar at the bottom of trajectory replay showing duration, countries visited, cities visited, and total distance • Stats update in real-time with spring-animated number transitions as waypoints are reached. Keep claims tied to observable process outcomes.
Write conclusions as fit-by-scenario, not absolute winner claims. This increases credibility and conversion quality.
Bottom-Funnel Conversion Actions
End with explicit actions: test run, import real assets, export first version. Concrete actions move decisions forward.
Include risk notes and fallback paths. Balanced framing often converts better than aggressive claims.
Interlink to tutorial and case-study pages to complete the comparison -> trial -> validation loop.

If the update solves your workflow pain point, test it with your next trip album.
Try Locusify with your travel photosFrequently asked questions
What is the fastest way to start with locusify update?
Use one recent trip folder and run the full flow once: import, timeline check, outlier cleanup, and short replay export.
What if some photos do not contain GPS metadata?
Build the core route from geotagged photos first, then place non-geotagged images as chapter visuals instead of route points.
How do I make outputs more shareable on social channels?
Keep runtime concise, start with route overview, highlight key stops, and export directly in the target aspect ratio.
Where does Locusify fit in this workflow?
If the update solves your workflow pain point, test it with your next trip album.
