If you upload your pictures to Journey, the app will often automatically geolocate where the pictures were taken and will register them in the map. It can also detect the date when the picture was taken and automatically add it to that day of the month (not the day when it was uploaded). So, if you forgot to update your journal during your trip but you get to it later on, Journey will take care of it for you.
