This article follows Trip Planner 101: Introduction to Trip Planner basics which explains the building blocks of a trip plan.
Add a place to your trip
There are several ways to add sites to your trip plan. You can either add a site that is on WikiCamps or a custom place.
Option 1: Add from the Site List or Site Overview Card
- Search for the site you want to add in the list or tap the map pin to display the site name.
- Tap the "Add to Trip" icon and choose the trip you want to add it to.
- Press "Continue" and select where you’d like the site to appear in your trip or use Smart Insert*.
*Smart Insert helps users fit sites on their trip based firsts on arrival date and then by optimising the distance between other sites in your trip plan.
Option 2: Add from the Site Details page
- Open the details page of the site you want to add
- Tap "Add to trip" in the bottom right corner
- Choose the trip you want to add it to and decide how to insert it into your plan.
Option 3: Add a custom place
Perfect for adding custom locations like private addresses, starting points, airports, waypoints, or supply stops
- In the trip planner, tap any of the "Add" buttons and select "Add a Custom Place."
- Choose how you want to set the custom place's location
- Tap "Continue" and confirm the address and details.
- If required, choose where to insert the place in your trip, and you’re all set!
Edit a place
To edit a place in your trip list, tap the three horizontal dots on the place card.
From there, you can choose to edit the details, copy the site (within this trip), remove it from your trip, or show where it is on the map.
Add and edit sections
Sections can be used to help organise your trip. You can create a new section by pressing the green "Add" button in the bottom right corner and selecting the option to "Add a Section."
Give your new section a name and hit "Continue." Then, decide where you want it to go—either at the start, the end, or somewhere in between your trip plan. This way, you’ll have a neatly organised adventure ready to go!
To rename a section, tap the three horizontal dots next to it.
Add and edit notes
You can add notes to the your trip to track bookings, memories, recommendations or any other useful information.
Place notes
To add a note attached to one of the places in your trip, tap the "Add Note" button on the place card, enter your note's header and content, then select "Save."
Trip notes
To add a separate note between places in your trip, tap any of the "Add" buttons between place cards and select the option to "Add a trip note". Enter your note's header and content, then select "Save."
Editing trip order
Rearranging your trip is a breeze! Just tap the Reorder button in the top right corner.
You can choose to reorder either individual places or entire trip sections.
To move a part of your trip, simply hold the drag handle (two horizontal lines) to 'pick up' the trip element you wish to move and drag it to your desired position within your itinerary.
Once done, tap "Confirm" to save your changes.
Trip Routing options
Follow Roads
We’ve enhanced the Follow Roads routing feature to deliver more accurate directions while maintaining optimal performance. When this option is selected, the route will follow the road network closely.
Straight Lines
If the roads between your points are not recognised, or if your device had difficulty connecting to the routing service, we offer a straight-line option. This feature will display a direct line between your points instead of a route that follows the roads.
Skip in route
If you want to add places to your trip plan, but not track the distance travelled to or from the location, use 'Skip in route' to exclude a place from being drawn onto the route on the map.
