PlacePlot

PlacePlot is a trip planner that works the way you actually plan. Pin every place you want to see on one map, then turn it into a day-by-day itinerary you can follow. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Pin places on a Google map and see the whole trip at once - Add a place by name search, a dropped pin, a Maps link or coordinates - Tap search for sights worth visiting near your part of the map - Make your own categories with colours and icons - Measure the distance along a chain of places - Build a day-by-day itinerary by dragging places onto it - Add blocks that are not places, like travel, meals and rest - Set each trip's own start and end hours - Write notes and addresses on any place - Share the whole trip as a PDF - Export as GPX, KML or a JSON backup, and import it back - Back up and restore your whole library - Light and dark, kilometres or miles - See where you are among your pins once you are in the city - Open any place in your favourite map app for turn-by-turn directions PUT THE WHOLE TRIP ON ONE MAP Everything you have been saving up goes on one map, so you finally see the shape of the trip. Type a place name and pick it from the list, or paste a Google Maps link, and the place lands where it should. Your own categories and colours keep the beaches, the food and everything you promised the kids apart at a glance. KNOW WHAT IS WORTH DOING ON THE SAME DAY A list of place names never tells you which two are ten minutes apart and which are across the city. Pick a few pins and PlacePlot draws the line and gives you the distance, in kilometres or miles, so a day stops being guesswork. When you are ready to actually go, see where you are among your pins and hand the place off to your favourite map app for real directions. THEN GIVE EVERY DAY A SHAPE Drag a place onto a day and it becomes a block you can slide to a new time or stretch to a longer visit. Add the things that are not places at all, a train, a nap, dinner with someone. Set your own hours so an early start or a long evening fits. Days are just days, so a trip works before you have booked a single date. SHARE THE PLAN WITH WHOEVER IS COMING One tap turns the trip into a PDF: the places, the categories, and every day laid out hour by hour. Send it in a message, print it, or keep it for the flight. Nobody needs the app to read it. If you want the raw data instead, a trip also exports as GPX, KML or a JSON backup that carries the itinerary too. WHO ACTUALLY USES IT Families planning a week abroad, road trips, city breaks and group holidays. Travel agents, guides and planners use the PDF to hand a client a finished itinerary, with no app to install and no login. NOBODY ELSE SEES YOUR TRIP There is no account to make and no email to hand over. We do not store your trips, your pins or your day plans, and there is no server of ours behind this app. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is synced, and nothing is shared unless you send it yourself. Your location is only used to show you on the map, and is never stored. No ads, no analytics, no tracking of any kind. PlacePlot is free to start. An optional one-time unlock lifts the trip limit and adds your own categories, with no subscription and nothing that expires.
