How do I make an itinerary that fits my fixed times?

Quick answer. List what cannot move first: arrival and departure times, hotel changes, timed tickets and how much walking you are up for. Mappu builds the days around those constraints and fills the gaps with stops that match your interests. Then check each day on the map for backtracking and change the order without rebuilding the trip.

How does Mappu build a flexible multi-day itinerary?

Mappu is a Fenutech product: an AI trip planner that turns your destination, dates, pace and interests into an editable day-by-day itinerary, with every stop on a map. It plans in eight languages, including Japanese and Traditional Chinese. Almost any place on the map can play an audio guide, 953 public guides are free on the web, and while you walk, Mappu can tell you about the places around you.

How planning with Mappu works

  1. 1Describe the tripDestination, dates or number of days, who is travelling, pace, interests, must-sees and anything to avoid. Fill in the planner or talk it through in the chat.
  2. 2Get a day-by-day planIn the chat, Mappu sketches your days on a map for free, no account needed. The full itinerary adds places to eat and notes on transport, budget and packing; it is built in your Mappu account, and you see what it includes before you confirm.
  3. 3Make it yoursMove, swap, add or delete stops and days. The rest of the plan stays as it was, and the map shows the new order straight away.
  4. 4Use it on the tripOpen the same trip on your phone. At almost any stop, a Mappu audio guide tells you the story of the place. Mappu does not book anything or show live timetables.

One real brief, one editable three-day draft

This is the level of detail that changes the result. The generator shapes the days from the facts in the brief; it does not quietly invent reservations or live availability.

The brief: Rome, three days

  • Arrive Friday at 10:30, leave Monday at 08:00
  • Stay in Monti, no hotel changes
  • Moderate pace, ancient history and local food
  • Vatican Museums booked for Saturday at 09:00
  • No long stair climbs; dinners within walking distance

The first draft

  1. Day 1 · Ancient Rome and MontiArrival buffer, the Colosseum area, a walk along the Roman Forum, an optional Capitoline stop and dinner near the hotel.
  2. Day 2 · The Vatican booking and the riverThe 09:00 booking kept in place, St Peter's area, a lunch break, then Castel Sant'Angelo or Trastevere as an option.
  3. Day 3 · The historic center without backtrackingPantheon, Piazza Navona, Trevi and nearby food stops in one walkable loop, with stops you can cut.

What you get, and what you do not

You get editable days, grouped places, transfer and buffer cues, optional stops and route context. You do not get guaranteed opening hours, tickets, live transit, reservations or turn-by-turn navigation; check those with current official sources.

A one-minute check after generating

  • Fixed bookings are still on the right day and time
  • The busiest day has no backtracking on the map
  • Optional stops are marked where they eat into meals or buffers
  • Tickets, access rules and transport are verified before you book

What should go into the plan first?

Dates alone do not make a schedule. A 9 pm arrival shrinks day one; a 7 am flight shortens the last. Timed tickets, children's routines and a slow afternoon matter just as much. Put them in the brief and the plan respects them.

  • Arrival and departure times
  • Bookings with a fixed time
  • Daily pace and rest breaks
  • Must-dos and hard skips

How do I check that each day works?

A good day groups places that sit together and leaves time for lunch, queues and the walk in between. On the map, look out for crossing the city twice or one stop stranded far from the rest. Move it, make it optional or drop it.

What happens when plans change?

A delayed train should not wreck the whole trip. Move one day's stops or swap their order and the rest of the itinerary stays put. Timetables and opening hours change, so recheck anything time-sensitive with the operator before you go.

How do I judge the generated draft?

A believable itinerary groups nearby stops, avoids pointless crossings and leaves space for meals, queues and delays. Open the map, look at the busiest day and move or drop a stop if the route feels forced.

How do I avoid backtracking?

Go through one day at a time. If the route crosses the same area twice or has one stop far from the rest, move that stop to a better day, mark it optional or cut it. Then leave a buffer for queues, meals and getting between areas.

Common questions

Can Mappu plan a multi-city trip?

Yes. Give it the cities, the days you have and any fixed train or hotel dates. The first draft keeps each stay and each travel leg separate.

Can I start without knowing every stop?

Yes. Start with the destination, your pace and the fixed parts of the trip. The suggested stops stay editable once the plan is made.

Are opening hours and train times guaranteed?

No. Mappu does not have live timetables. Check current schedules, closures and ticket rules with the official provider, especially for seasonal plans.

Can it generate a multi-day itinerary?

Yes. Give it your available days, destinations or bases, pace, interests and fixed commitments, and the draft separates the days and the travel legs.

Can I change the itinerary after it is generated?

Yes. Days and stops stay editable, so you can adjust the order and pace instead of treating the first result as final.

Is the travel information guaranteed to be current?

No. Verify opening hours, transport, ticket rules, accessibility and reservations with the current official providers.

How is Mappu different from ChatGPT, Wanderlog or Mindtrip?

Here is what Mappu does, so you can compare it with the tool you use now. Every stop of your day-by-day itinerary sits on the map, and almost any place on the map can play a Mappu audio guide. In the app, Walk Mode narrates the places around you as you walk, even with the screen locked. Editing by hand and the 400+ public guides are free; generating an itinerary, an audio guide for another place or a Walk Mode session uses one-time credit packs, with no subscription. A finished itinerary exports as a PDF to keep offline.

Where are you going next?

Tell Mappu where and for how long. The planner opens with your trip started, ready for your pace, interests and must-sees.
