Plot a Trip is a free visual trip planner that lets you plan travel itineraries on an interactive world map.

## Everything You Need to Plan a Trip

From first idea to final itinerary, Plot a Trip keeps your entire trip organized on one visual map.

### Visual Map Planning

Drop pins on an interactive world map to mark every destination, hotel, and landmark on your itinerary.

### Route Building

Draw color-coded route lines between stops with snap-to-road directions for driving, walking, cycling, and transit.

### Budget Tracking

Set trip budgets, log expenses with multi-currency support, and see spending breakdowns by category in real time.

### Real-Time Collaboration

Invite friends to co-plan. See live cursors, vote on activities, split costs, and leave comments on every stop.

## How It Works

1

### Drop a Pin

Click anywhere on the map to add a destination to your trip.

2

### Build Your Route

Draw color-coded lines between stops to plan your path.

3

### Add the Details

Fill in accommodation, activities, and budget for each stop.

## Built for Every Kind of Traveler

Whether you're planning a solo backpacking trip or coordinating a family vacation, Plot a Trip adapts to how you travel.

### Solo Backpackers

Plan complex multi-city routes across countries. Visualize overland paths, track daily budgets in multiple currencies, and keep your entire trip on one interactive map.

### Couples & Honeymoons

Collaborate on the perfect romantic getaway. Vote on activities, split expenses, and build a shared itinerary you'll both love.

### Friend Groups

Plan group trips without the endless group chat. Everyone sees the same map in real time, votes on activities, and knows exactly what's been booked.

### Family Vacations

Keep everyone in the loop with a visual itinerary. Track accommodation, activities, and budgets across every stop so nothing gets forgotten.

## Why Travelers Choose Plot a Trip

### Map-First Planning

Every other planner gives you a list with a tiny map panel. Plot a Trip puts the map front and center because geography is how trips actually work.

### No Booking Lock-In

Plot a Trip is a planning tool, not a booking engine. Use any airline, hotel, or agency you want — we help you organize, not sell.

### Free to Start

The Explorer plan is completely free with no time limit. Upgrade to Navigator when you need collaboration, cost splitting, or export.

## What Travelers Are Saying

"Finally a trip planner that puts the map first. We planned a 3-week Europe trip across 8 countries and could actually see the route instead of staring at a list. The budget tracker saved us from overspending in Switzerland."

Sarah K.

Planned a Euro trip with 4 friends

"The cost splitting feature alone made this worth it. On our group trip to Southeast Asia, everyone could see exactly what was spent in 4 different currencies. No more spreadsheets, no more arguments about money."

Marcus T.

Group trip to Thailand, Vietnam & Cambodia

"I switched from Wanderlog because the map was too small. In Plot a Trip the map IS the interface. I can see all my stops, zoom into neighborhoods, and the route lines show exactly how everything connects. Game changer for multi-city trips."

Elena R.

Solo backpacking through South America
