Settings

Low Network Mode

Low Network Mode is enabled by default. When enabled, the app displays the Category image instead of the Place image to reduce network usage. You can disable this mode in the settings if you prefer to load Place images directly.

Place Creation

Google Maps URL Parsing

You can paste a link from Google Maps into the place input when creating a Place.

It will automatically fill the Name, Place, Latitude and Longitude from the link.

Try it yourself with this URL: https://www.google.com/maps/place/British+Museum/@51.5194166,-0.1295315,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x48761b323093d307:0x2fb199016d5642a7!8m2!3d51.5194133!4d-0.1269566.

To have this, you can either click on a Point of Interest in Google Maps or search for one, then copy the URL.

Batch Creation

Places can be created using the Batch creation dialog, that supports JSON (array required).

Example:

[
{ "category": "Culture",  "name": "Car Museum", "lat": 12.12, "lng": 50.89, "place": "Auto History Museum" },
{ "category": "Nature & Outdoor",  "name": "An amazing park", "lat": 50.12, "lng": 12.89, "place": "The Park", "image": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/be/Random_pyramids.jpg" }
]

Note

Image links must include the file extension. URLs without it won't attach the image (the place is created, but no image).

Warning

Mandatory properties:

"category": "Categoryn ame" (case-sensitive)
"name": "The name"
"lat": 0.00
"lng": 0.00
"place": "Your string"

Note

Optional properties:

"image": "https://example.com/image.jpg"
"allowdog": true/false
"description": "A description for the place"
"price": 0.00
"duration": 0
"favorite": true/false
"visited": true/false
"gpx": "gpx file content"

LatLng Parsing

You can paste a LatLng coordinate into the latitude input when creating a Place.

Supported formats include examples like:

• 37.7749, -122.4194
• 37.7749° N, 122.4194° W
• 37°46'29.64" N, 122°25'9.84" W
• 37°46.494' N, 122°25.164' W

Plus Code Parsing

You can paste a Plus Code into the latitude input when creating a Place.

Example: 849VCWC8+R9

Warning

Only full Plus Codes are currently handled. The + sign is added after eight characters for full codes and after the four characters for short codes.

Trip

Display a day itinerary

In addition to displaying the full trip itinerary using the button above the table, you can view the itinerary for a single day by clicking on that day's name in the table.

This will show only the itinerary for the selected day.
