Quick answer

How is an itinerary map planner different from a collection of saved pins?

Use this page after your itinerary already has days and stops. A map audit reveals zigzags, isolated stops, and places assigned to the wrong day. Mappu keeps each stop attached to its editable itinerary, so you can move the outlier and preserve the rest of the schedule. It is not live traffic or turn-by-turn navigation, and it is not the page for building a schedule from scratch.

Itinerary map planning

Audit an itinerary one day at a time

Open the mapped itinerary and focus on a single day. Look for repeated crossings, a stop far from the main cluster, or an order that ignores the natural route. These are schedule problems that a list rarely makes obvious.

  • Stops assigned to real days
  • Order visible on the map
  • Outliers and backtracking exposed
  • Edits preserved in the itinerary

Real product proof

See a real Mappu trip before you start

Open a public itinerary or audio guide to inspect the actual route structure and guide experience before using the planner.

Is this the right page for your trip?

Use this page when

You already have stops assigned to days and need to spot backtracking, isolated outliers, and an awkward visit order.

Choose another path when

You are starting from an unorganized wish list or need a navigation app to choose the fastest live route.

You will leave with

A repeatable map audit you can apply to each day, plus a mapped itinerary you can inspect and customize.

Actual map view

The Explore view keeps nearby places, landmarks, and route context visible, so you can inspect geographic order before deciding what belongs in the day.

Map view supports route inspection and discovery. It does not claim live traffic or turn-by-turn navigation.

Import and map my itinerary

Repair the schedule without rebuilding it

Move the outlier to a nearby day, swap two stops, or make one activity optional. Recheck fixed tickets and meal reservations after every change. The goal is not the shortest possible line; it is a day that fits your pace and commitments.

Carry the planned structure onto mobile

Mappu keeps itinerary and map context together when the trip starts and can surface guide content for supported places. Use a dedicated navigation app for exact directions and check current transport information before leaving.

Every planned stop belongs to an editable trip day
Typical alternative
Saved pins may have no schedule or order

Route review

Mappu
Backtracking and distant outliers become visible
Typical alternative
A list can look reasonable while crossing the city repeatedly

On-trip use

Mappu
Keeps the planned day and guide context together
Typical alternative

Common questions

Can I use the map to fix an overloaded day?

Yes. Identify the distant or weak stop, then move it, make it optional, or remove it while keeping the rest of the itinerary intact.

Is the shortest route always the best itinerary?

No. Timed tickets, opening hours, meals, energy, and what you value can matter more than minimum distance. Use the map as evidence, not as the only rule.

Does the itinerary map provide turn-by-turn directions?

No. Mappu provides trip structure and place context. Use a dedicated navigation provider for live directions, traffic, and transport changes.
