Reading the trip map
What each pin means, how to switch between one day and the whole trip, change how you travel between stops, filter what's shown, and add a place straight from the map.
The trip map shows where your day happens: every stop in order, where you sleep, the places your party wants to go, and the routes between them.
Where the map lives
- On the web, the itinerary and the map sit side by side. Drag the divider between them to give either more room, or push it all the way to fold one column away.
- On a phone, tap Map in the bottom bar. The itinerary is its own tab.
What the pins mean
- Stops are photo cards numbered in the order you'll visit them that day.
- Stays are photo cards with a bed glyph instead of a number — where the day begins and ends, not a step in it. On a day you change hotels you'll see two.
- Want to go places, and suggestions from the trip's guides, are smaller pins coloured by type. They have no date, so they appear whichever day you're viewing.
Tap any pin to open that place.
This day or the whole trip
Open Map settings (the round map button in the top-left corner). Under Showing itinerary items for: choose:
- This day — the stops and stays of the day you're viewing, with the routes between them.
- Whole trip — every scheduled stop across all days. Want to go pins stay put either way.
Routes between stops
In This day view, a line joins each stop to the next, with a badge at its midpoint showing how you'll travel. Short hops default to walking, longer ones to a rideshare. Transit is drawn as a simple arc rather than a traced route.
To change how you travel a hop, tap its line. A Travel mode menu lists five options with the travel time for each:
Walking · Transit · Rideshare · Driving · Cycling
Pick one and the line redraws. A mode with no viable route shows No route. The button at the bottom opens directions in your maps app — or Open Uber when the hop is a rideshare.
Routes aren't shown in Whole trip view; every day's lines would cross each other.
Filtering what's shown
The Explore section of Map settings controls the browsable pins — never your scheduled stops, which always stay on the map.
- A Want to go checkbox toggles the saved-places layer as a whole.
- One checkbox per place type: Food & Drink, Culture, Outdoors, Shopping, Experiences. The number beside each is what's on screen right now.
- Select all / Deselect all flips every type at once.
Changing the look
Also in Map settings, under Style:
- Map is Plannery's own style. Satellite is imagery with roads and labels drawn over it.
- The 3D switch tilts the map so buildings and terrain stand up, in either style.
Adding a place from the map itself
Labels on the map — a café, a church, a shop — are tappable even when they aren't in Plannery yet.
- Tap a label. A small card shows the name and category, then looks up the address, today's hours, phone, and website.
- Tap Add to Itinerary to schedule it onto a day, or Want to go to save it. The button reads Saved once done.
The lookup doesn't find details for every place. When it can't, you still get the name and the two buttons.
Your own location
Tap the target button beside Map settings (Show my location) to put a dot where you are. The first tap asks your device for permission.
