    Plan your perfect city visit with our brand new trip planner! Create organized itineraries for any city using the locations you've already saved to your destinations. Here's what you can do:

    • Build day-by-day plans with timed and untimed itinerary blocks

  • Edit Location Coordinates

    Requested Feature

    Location owners can now edit their location's coordinates directly from the location page. If you notice the pin isn't quite in the right spot, you can now fine-tune it to make sure visitors find exactly where they need to go.

April 9, 2026

  • User Reported Bugfixes

    Fixed an issue where search filters would persist when navigating away from the page, even though the URL showed no active filters. The filters now properly sync with the URL at all times. Also resolved a bug preventing users from typing spaces in search boxes across cities and locations pages. You can now search for multi-word entries like "San Francisco" without issues.

    Improved the "Open in Google Maps" button to search by location name instead of just coordinates. This means when you open a location, you'll now see the actual business listing with phone numbers, addresses, operating hours, and reviews, making it much easier to access all the details you need.

    A comprehensive content moderation system is now live! Report problematic locations with categorized reasons and context. Moderators and admins have access to new moderation tools on location pages and the admin dashboard provides a centralized hub for reviewing pending reports.
