The fastest way to create a trip: find an atlas entry you want to include, click Add to trip, then choose + New trip. The system creates the trip and adds that first stop.
The slower way: go to your account → Trips tab → New trip. You’ll be taken to an empty trip page where you can add stops one by one.
Initial setup
A fresh trip needs at minimum a name. Everything else is optional but recommended:
- Dates — start and end. The trip page can show day-by-day breakdown if you choose the day-grouped layout.
- Description — a paragraph or two about what this trip is. Where you’re going, who’s coming, what makes it notable. Renders in the Overview tab.
- Status — Planning, Current, or Completed. Affects which views the trip appears in.
Edit any time
Use the Edit details button at the top of the trip page to change name, dates, description, or status. Saves are immediate.
Layout: ordered vs day-grouped
Trips can use one of two layouts:
- Ordered (default) — stops in a single sequential list. Best for road trips or simple planning.
- Day-grouped — stops organized under day numbers. Best for fixed-itinerary trips.
Day-grouped trips don’t support drag-to-reorder yet (would require cross-day reorganization which we haven’t built). For most trips, ordered is the right pick.
Privacy default
Trips are private by default — only you and any invited crew members can see them. You can generate a share link (read-only) from the edit panel if you want to share with someone without inviting them as a crew member.
What’s next
Once the trip exists, the rest is filling it in. Start with stops (see Adding Stops) and work outward.
