How to Build a Trip Itinerary with a Travel Planner App

Tap each step to follow along in order.

  1. Search your destination and create a new trip

    Search for your destination in the app, then create a new trip and set your travel dates and length of stay.

  2. Save places you want to visit

    Search for restaurants, attractions, and cafes, and save the ones you like to your trip as candidates using the app's save or bookmark feature.

  3. Arrange saved places by day and check your route

    Once you assign your saved places to specific days, the app automatically maps out your route and estimated travel time between them.

  4. Share the itinerary with travel companions

    Send a share link so the people you are traveling with can add their own places or reorder the plan together.

A better option than managing an itinerary across notes and messages

A dedicated trip planner app is a clear upgrade over piecing together a plan from scattered notes, screenshots, and chat messages, since it automatically works out your route and travel time as soon as you assign saved places to specific days.

Most itineraries stay usable even offline

Once an itinerary has been loaded on your device, most travel planner apps let you view the map and schedule without an internet connection, which is genuinely useful for checking your plan while traveling in an area with unreliable signal.
