Plan a trip

Shape your days

Day names, the insight rows, one-tap optimize and the board with its Ideas pen.

A pile of stops isn't a day yet. This is the toolkit for the difference: name the day, read how heavy it is, and shuffle until it feels right.

Name your days

Click a day's header to rename it. "Daytrip to Sintra" says more than "Thu 14", and the name follows the day everywhere: panel, board, day list, even the public page if you share the trip.

Move between days

Up to five days, the itinerary panel shows All and one numbered chip per day, each carrying the day's pin colour, and a chip's tooltip gives the day's number, date and name. Past five days the row becomes one line instead: All, a Previous arrow, a day picker and a Next arrow. The picker lists each day as its number, date and name, so a long name is cut before its date. From All, Next opens Day 1 and Previous opens the last day, and neither wraps around inside the trip. A narrow screen, a phone included, hides this row, because the day menu in the header sits right above the sheet.

The header's day menu, opened from the caret beside the day, lists the same days with their stop counts. It opens scrolled to the day you are on, and Add day sits at the bottom. The X on a row removes that day, and on a computer it shows when you point at the row. A day with stops asks first: the X turns into Remove? and takes a second click, because removing a day deletes its stops with no undo. Viewers get no X.

Read the insight rows

The panel header carries one-line reads on the day in view. Load says whether the day is comfortable, packed or overstuffed, judged from stop count, timing and distances. Budget shows planned spend against your ceiling if the trip has one. Conditions pulls in the forecast.

The day at a glance: effort, money and weather in three lines.

The small menu beside the rows hides the ones you ignore. A hidden row that turns urgent, like a budget tipping over, shows a dot so you still catch it.

Optimize a day

On Pro, Optimize day reorders a day's stops to cut backtracking, keeps your locked times where they are, and undoes in one tap. Trying it costs nothing.

The board

Press B on desktop or tablet: days become columns, stops become cards, and everything drags. Beside the columns sits the Ideas pen, a holding area for places you want but haven't committed to. Everyone on the trip sees the Ideas and editors can vote on them; a published page leaves them out. Click a card and the stop's details dock beside the board, the same details as in the itinerary, with the elevation profile of a route-shaped stop.

The board: days as columns, and the Ideas pen for the maybes.

An idea can also wait as one day's fallback: pick the day in its Backup… menu. Keep a Plan B for a day covers where it shows and how to use it.
