You have places or areas in mind and want geography to guide how they could be grouped before fixing the final schedule.
Map-based planning
Travel map planner for trips you can actually follow
Use the map early to expose distant stops, repeated crossings, and overfilled days. Mappu connects those geographic decisions to an editable itinerary.

Quick answer
What problem does a travel map planner solve?
A travel map planner shows whether your proposed stops form sensible daily clusters. In Mappu, a destination brief becomes an editable itinerary whose places can be reviewed on the map. Move a stop to another day, cut an outlier, or change the order when the route backtracks. The map supports trip planning and guide context; it is not a turn-by-turn navigation or live traffic service.
Map-based planning
Turn proposed stops into visible daily clusters
A list hides distance. Once the stops are on a map, you can see that two museums sit together while a “quick” viewpoint is across the city. Use that shape to build days around neighborhoods rather than around a wish list.
- Day-by-day mapped stops
- Visible geographic clusters
- Editable order and pacing
- Trip context kept with each place

Is this the right page for your trip?
Choose another path when
You already have a detailed itinerary and only need to repair stop order, or you need live traffic and turn-by-turn directions.
You will leave with
A map-first view of the trip, a real multi-stop example, and a clearer basis for building the day sequence.
Actual map view
See how Mappu places stops on a real map
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.

Fix backtracking before it costs travel time
Inspect one day at a time. If the route crosses the same area twice or contains a lone distant stop, move that stop to a better day, make it optional, or remove it. Then leave buffer for queues, meals, and the transfer between clusters.
Keep the planned map useful on the trip
The same Mappu itinerary remains available on mobile and can connect supported places to live guide context. For precise walking, driving, or public-transport directions, open a dedicated navigation service and check current conditions.

Common questions
Can the map help me decide what to remove?
Yes. A distant outlier or repeated crossing is easier to see geographically. Move it, make it optional, or cut it when it weakens the day.
Does Mappu replace Google Maps or another navigation app?
No. Mappu organizes stops, days, and guide context. Use a dedicated navigation service for current routes, traffic, and turn-by-turn directions.
Can I still change the route after looking at the map?
Yes. The itinerary remains editable, so you can change the day or order of stops after spotting a pacing or geography problem.
