[QUOTE="AnneMarie1, post: 1105565, member: 106038"] I am probably going to use Polarsteps as an easy way to keep a photo journal and keep friends and family posted on my whereabouts without getting onto social media every day. That way I can do a semi-digital detox and also spend less time organizing and printing photos later, too. I have two questions: 1) I think it's possible I will want two books printed at the end -- one kind of basic photo album that can be "in public" (in my living room) as a coffee table book, and one that's much more about my interior experience, basically my journal but enhanced by photos. That one will just be for me. There might be overlap between the photos I select for the two books at the end, but I would think there'd also be some differences. From what I'm reading, this could be accomplished using the Polarsteps app if I just go into my trip and create a book and order it, and then go back in and create another book using the stuff from the same trip. Is that right? 2) According to the info on the Polarsteps website, it tracks where you are without the use of internet, but it says, "Just don't put your phone in airplane mode." But I thought airplane mode was recommended as the best way to not be using data the whole day. (I'm not the most tech/smart phone savvy person, so that might not be correct.) I was planning to get a Spanish esim and bring my regular phone, which will (I think) be able to receive bank texts, etc. sent to my regular number, and I can use the Spanish esim to avoid roaming, etc. What do I need to know about the esim and the data needs of using Polarsteps? Am I right in thinking the app would rely on data all day, and if so, how much data does it use? And is there any need for an esim that would give me a Spanish phone number? There is something about all this on their website, where they tell you to set your phone not to be using roaming. But if I am using an esim from Spain, wouldn't that be roaming? Does that mean Polarsteps would eat data? [/QUOTE]
