How do I start a trip?

Pick a tier on the home page and pay once. You'll land in a quick setup: type where you're starting, where you're headed, and how you're getting there — and your trip is live on its own private map.

How do people join?

You get two links. The edit link is for your crew — anyone with it can add stops, notes, and photos. The view link is for everyone else — they can watch, but not change anything. Send whichever fits. No one needs an account or the app.

What are the passwords?

Each link has a little word-phrase in it (like cedar-canyon-motel-dawn). That phrase is the key — you can text someone the link, or just tell them the words to type at your trip's address. Keep the edit words with people you trust.

Do I have to add dates?

No. Add stops now and dates whenever. A stop with no date says no date yet and holds its place in the order, right after the last stop that does have one — so an unscheduled leg stays where it belongs instead of falling to the bottom. Nudge any stop with the back and forward arrows on its card. Add a date and it moves to where that date puts it. Plan first, schedule later (or the other way around).

How do I add a stop or a post?

+ Stop then tap the map to plan a place. + Post drops a pin right where you're standing for a photo, a note, or a song. Two taps, tops. The lines between your stops follow real roads automatically; flights draw as an arc.

Can I add photos and video?

Photos from $5 "keep it" upward, pinned right to the map. Video is on $10 "the works". The $2.50 tier is map, stops, notes and links.

A link leaked. What do I do?

Open the trip → Info → Trip settingsRotate the edit or view password. The old link stops working immediately; share the new one.

How do I delete a trip?

Info → Trip settings → Delete this trip. It removes the trip and every photo, for good. Every trip also deletes itself when its term is up — a year, five or ten, depending on what was bought.

Does it work on any phone?

Yes — it's a normal web page, nothing to install. Open the link in any browser. Prefer dark? Tap the theme button in the corner — it cycles through following the clock, light, and night drive; your choice sticks on your device.
