The Itinerary tab pairs a live map with a timeline of your stops. Each card shows the time, type, location, notes and linked photos.
Scrolling drives the camera: the map frames the step or 🚗 travel leg at the center of the screen, and the step's photos appear in the map corner. The 🔒 Follow / 🔓 Free button freezes or re-arms that tracking; 🌍 reframes the whole trip.
Tap a card to focus its place on the map; the distance and duration between two geolocated stops appear on the connector's 🚗 pill.
The Planning tab is a focused, list-first view of your days, grouped by date.
Use the + between cards to insert a step before, between or after existing ones. Its time is pre-filled to fit the gap — no round-hour guessing.
Track what the trip costs and split it with members. Set a manual budget or let it track spending automatically.
Don't need it? Turn expenses off in the trip settings and the whole feature — tab, budget and buttons — disappears for everyone.
Collect photos, notes and mementos tied to your steps.
Play a step's slideshow straight from the timeline, or browse and filter everything in the Souvenirs tab.
The Roadbook button turns the trip into a fullscreen story: day by day, photos, animated maps of each day's route and a final overview of the journey.
From the Edit button, owners and admins tune the trip: name, dates, banner, budget and currencies.
Turn on the random header to rotate the banner through the trip's own photos every 1, 5 or 10 minutes.
💡 Tips & hidden gems
Handy features that are easy to miss.
Insert a step anywhere
The + between timeline cards adds a stop before, between or after — with a time pre-filled to fit the gap.
Disable expenses per trip
In trip settings, hide the whole expenses feature for a trip that doesn't need it.
Rotating header
Switch the banner to 'random' to cycle through the trip's photos on a timer.
Snap a photo
On mobile, use 'Take a photo' to capture straight from the camera when adding an image.
Restricted & guest links
Share different links: full member access, expense-free, or read-only guest view.
Quick add on a step
The 📸+ and 💰+ buttons on a step card attach a souvenir or an expense in one tap.
Fullscreen map
Expand the itinerary map to fullscreen to explore your route.
Contextual help
The ? on a trip jumps straight to the help topic for the tab you're on.
Follow or free map
The 🔒 Follow / 🔓 Free button above the map: in Free, the camera stays put but the step's photos keep showing up as you scroll.
Solo a map layer
Click a legend item (steps, souvenirs, expenses, route) to show only that layer; click it again to bring everything back.
Roadbook: the trip as a story
From a trip's tab bar, open the Roadbook: a fullscreen story with your photos, animated maps of each day's route and the full journey overview.
Reframe a roadbook photo
Owners and admins can adjust a photo's framing in the roadbook (✂️ button): drag the focal point, without touching the original image.
