A point is a place on the route: a sight, restaurant, hotel, airport or any place you plan to visit. A point has many fields — organised into tabs in the editor: Main, Route, Budget, Accommodation (hotels only), Files and Comments. Let's go through everything in order.
"Main" tab
- Name — how the point appears on the map and in the list (3 to 70 characters).
- Type — determines the marker icon and colour. 17 types available: Hotel, Hike, Photo spot, Museum, Historic building, Monument, Animals, Theme park, Restaurant, Shopping, Transport, Airport, Religion, Nature, Water, Show, Other. Hotels get a separate "Accommodation" tab.
- Description — formatted text (bold, lists, links). A good place to jot down notes about the location.
- Address — the text address of the point (up to 250 characters).
- Opening hours — so you don't turn up to closed doors.
- Link — the website or page for the place.
- Latitude and longitude — coordinates. Filled in automatically when searching or clicking the map, but you can enter them manually.
"Route" tab
- Priority — affects the marker style: normal, secondary or a star ⭐ for the most important stop. Helps you keep key places visible.
- Exclude from route — the point stays on the map but isn't counted in travel calculations. Useful for "maybe we'll pop in" places.
- Travel mode to this point — how you're getting here:
- 🚩 Route start — no travel path is calculated to this point (e.g. the start of the day after landing).
- 🚗 By car — standard car routing.
- 🚇 Public transport — experimental, may be less accurate.
- 🚶 Walking — pedestrian routing.
- 🗺 By car (Google) — a different algorithm for when the standard one gets it wrong.
- Time at stop — how many minutes (or hours) you plan to spend at this point. Factored into the day's timeline.
- Reserved time — a fixed visit time: a cruise at 10:00, a show at 18:00. Appears as a red marker on the timeline.
- Arrive … before — how many minutes to arrive early (relevant for airports and bookings). Appears when a reservation is set: choose from 0 to 180 minutes.
"Budget" tab
- Price type — "For everyone", "Per person" or "Adult / child" (for different rates).
- Currency — you can set a separate currency for an individual point, overriding the trip currency.
- Price — the amount for the chosen type. For "Adult / child" tariff, two prices are entered.
- Paid — how much has already been paid (cannot exceed the total).
- Payment date — the deadline by which payment is due.
- Cancellation date — the last date to cancel without a penalty.
- Payment method — how you're paying (cash, card, etc.).
All amounts from points flow into the Finance section automatically.
"Accommodation" tab (type "Hotel")
Appears when the point type is "Hotel":
- Stay dates — check-in and check-out (1 to 14 nights).
- Check-in and check-out times.
- Meals — none ✕, breakfast 🥐, half-board 🍽 or all-inclusive 🍹.
"Files" and "Comments" tabs
- Files — attach bookings, tickets and confirmations to the point (up to 10 MB per file).
- Comments — note threads for the point (available after it's been created).
