Documentation – Andiamo Places

This documentation covers all three versions of Andiamo Places: the web app in Desktop mode, the web app in Mobile mode, and the iOS/Android mobile app. All three share nearly identical features and menus. Where steps or features differ by platform, they are noted inline:

• Web — available in the web app only (Desktop or Mobile mode)
• App — available in the iOS/Android mobile app only
• No badge — available in all three versions

The web app runs in two different layouts based on screen size. On large screens (Desktop mode) the Itinerary, Places, Map, and Schedule panels are all visible simultaneously — no navigation required. On small screens (Mobile mode) one panel is shown at a time. Steps below use platform-neutral phrasing ("In the Map screen", "Open Library") that applies to all three versions.

Open a ready-made guide and change something, for example tap a place's pencil (Edit Place) and tick Favorite. You don't need to tap anything else: the guide is kept as your own copy on this phone or in this browser, and a note says "Saved on this phone as your own copy." (on the web: "Saved on this device as your own copy."). Just opening a guide keeps nothing, and photos or opening hours the app fills in don't count as changes. To save at any time, tap Menu at the bottom right, then Save on this phone (on the web: Save on this device) — it's where Save Guide to Cloud is when you're signed in. Your trip is on Home under Continue your trip next time. Sign in whenever you like to have it on every device.

When you're signed in, changes you haven't saved yet are kept on this phone or in this browser while you work. If the app or the tab closes before you save, open the guide again (after you sign in, the guide with unsaved changes opens by itself): a strip says "Unsaved changes from <time>". Tap Restore to get your changes back, or Discard to keep the guide as it is in the cloud. Restore doesn't save: tap Menu, then Save Guide to Cloud when you're ready. If the guide was also changed in the cloud since then (by you on another device, or by someone you share it with), a box "Unsaved changes" asks which you want: Keep mine, Keep cloud, or Piece by piece — pick, for each place, event or text, your version or the cloud's, then tap Use these.

Unsaved changes you never come back to are removed from the phone or browser after 60 days.

Tap You at the bottom, then Sign out. If the open guide has changes that aren't saved, the question says so ("… has changes that aren't saved — they'll be lost"). Tap Cancel (or No), then save the guide first.

New visitors start on Home with an empty guide (after signing out too): the sample guide no longer loads in the background, so the guide you pick is the one that opens.

The empty guide's Itinerary says "Your itinerary is empty" and offers Plan my days, Write it myself and Open a ready-made guide, which takes you back to Home's ready-made guides with the search ready to type in. When you're signed in and have guides of your own, Open one of my guides opens the Library on My guides. A guide that already has places but no itinerary shows only the first two.

No account is needed for your own photos. Open a place, tap Edit (the pencil), then the photo or Change photo. On the app, tap From this phone (the first choice under Source; with no saved photos you also see Choose photos from this phone) and pick a photo; on the web, click From this device and pick a photo. It's kept on this phone or in this browser with your trip, and you can use it like any other photo there: for the place, on the map, in Create Journal from Photos and in Personalize Guide. Settings work too: tap You, then Settings, change what you like and tap Save; they're kept on this device. When you sign up or sign in, your photos are uploaded to your account and your Settings move into it (an account you already had keeps its own choices and takes only the ones it never had). Until then they're only on this device: to share a guide, open it on another device or print a Photo Book, sign in first. Attaching files still needs an account.

Signed in, the app works the same way: From this phone is the first choice under Source, and the photo is uploaded to your account straight away and used at once. Saved still shows the photos already in your account.

Ready-made guides open in your phone's (or browser's) language when a translation exists; the app's own buttons and menus stay in English. At the top of the guide, the switch "Italiano · English (original)" (with your language) changes between the two; your choice is remembered on this device. The first time a part of a guide is translated into your language you may see a quiet "Translating…" and the English until the translation arrives; after that it opens straight away. Spotted a wrong word? Tap "Translated from English — report a wording problem" under the switch: an e-mail to the Andiamo team opens with the guide and the language filled in. To pick a language yourself: tap You, then Settings, then Guide language (Phone language — Browser language on the web —, English, or a language from the list). The help pages (About, Documentation) follow the same choice when they have a translation. Guides you own or can change always show in English. Save keeps the English guide as it is; a copy you make keeps the translated text.

Tap Menu, then Travel Resources, then Wikivoyage travel guide and pick a city: its Wikivoyage article opens, in your guide language when Wikivoyage has it, otherwise in English.

On a phone, tap Menu, then Export & Share, then Add to my calendar. The first time, allow Andiamo to use your calendar; then pick the calendar (Google, iCloud, Samsung, Outlook…). The events of the schedule shown are added with each event at its local time (time zones and daylight saving included), its place and address, and a message says how many were added and to which calendar, for example "Added 17 events to Home (Nov 6–8, Florence time)". The times are the trip's local times, so seen from home they can look odd (10:15 in Florence shows as 1:15 at night in California); on the trip they're right. Changed your dates? Tap Add to my calendar again and choose Update: the events you added before are replaced, with no duplicates (Add again keeps both). The last item of the list, Share as a calendar file (.ics), saves or sends a calendar file instead.

On the web, Export to Calendar (.ics) downloads the calendar file. On a Mac, double-click it in Downloads: Apple Calendar opens and asks which calendar to add the events to. On Windows it opens in Outlook. For Google Calendar, go to calendar.google.com, then Settings (the gear), then Import & export, and choose the file. Either way it's a copy: changes you make later in Andiamo aren't sent to your calendar — add or export the trip again to update it.

In a ready-made guide, found a wrong photo, location, opening time or fact? On the Places screen tap a place's menu button (on the app: open the place, then Place Menu), or tap its marker on the Map, then Report a problem with this place. For a stop on the Schedule, tap its Event menu, then Report a problem with this event. An e-mail to the Andiamo team opens with the guide, the place or event and its day filled in: add what's wrong and send it. It works the same in your own copy of a ready-made guide (the copy says Your copy of … under its name): the report names the original guide and says it comes from a copy.

Added a place of your own to the copy, one the guide doesn't have? Its menu offers Suggest this place for the guide instead: the e-mail has the place, its address and map pin filled in, and a line to say why it belongs in the guide. Events you added yourself have no report item.

On the Schedule, tap a stop's Closed badge and pick a fix, for example Move end to …. If the fix leaves 30 minutes or more free before the next stop, "Free time in this day" asks what to do: Move the later stops earlier (each keeps its length and the travel between them, and moves only to times its place is open, never into another day), Find something nearby (places from your guide that are open then; tap Search for new places nearby to look further), or Leave it to keep the free time. Nothing moves unless you choose it, and your itinerary and notes are never changed. After moving the stops or adding one, a small bar ("Moved 3 stops earlier", "Added …") offers Undo for a few seconds: it puts the day back exactly as it was (a new place found by the search is removed again, unless another stop uses it). It goes away after your next change.

On a city guide page of andiamoplaces.com, Open this plan opens the guide in the web app in the same tab, in the page's language when a translation exists. At the top of the guide a small link takes you back, for example "← Back to the Rome guide" (in the page's language); tap the round × next to it to hide it. The browser's Back button works too. To go to the website from the web app any time: Menu, then Info, then Web Site.

Menu, then Share Link to this Guide: on a computer, Andiamo's share window opens with the link, Copy (it says "Copied!") and buttons for e-mail, WhatsApp, Facebook and more. On a phone or tablet the phone's own share menu opens. If copying is blocked, the link is shown selected so you can copy it yourself.

In Build your own guide, once you pick something in "What do you like?", a More… chip at the end of the row opens all the preferences (who's travelling, pace, budget, accessibility). In the Library, each card's ⋯ ("More for <guide>") can now be reached with VoiceOver on iPhone. Library → Viewed shows a guide's new name and photo right after you save it. "Accommodation" is now spelled right in groups and categories (guides that use the old spelling still match). The unused Date Format setting is gone: dates show the month's name.

On Home, while you search, the matching ready-made guides come first; your own trips (Continue your trip, My trips) follow below, showing only those that match. Scrolling the results hides the keyboard. Library → Viewed belongs to the account that's signed in: after signing out and in as someone else you see only their guides. If the guide you had open last was deleted, signing in opens your most recent guide instead of an empty one. On the web, Settings → Guide language starts with Browser language (on the app: Phone language). The Schedule's search shows the same yellow "Showing N of M events — click to show all" banner as Places.

The app opens on Home: search a city, region or country for a ready-made guide (over 700, each with a day-by-day plan and a map), or pick one of the popular ones. No account is needed to look around or to use a guide. From Home you can also plan a multi-city trip, build your own guide, find day trips and weekends, or start with a blank guide.

Open a guide and tap Use this guide: it becomes your own copy, kept on this phone or in this browser ("Saved on this phone"), and your changes are saved as you go. Close the app and open it again: Home shows it under Continue your trip. Sign in later and your trips move into your account.

Home → Plan a multi-city trip: tap the cities (each tap adds one), choose how many days in each, add day trips — whole days or half days (a morning and an afternoon half day share one day) — then Open my trip. Every day comes from the cities' ready-made guides, with each stop at its time.

Home → Build your own guide: add your destinations (or describe your trip in your own words), pick what you like if you want a more personal plan, and tap Build my trip. Places come from the ready-made guides where there is one, and the days are built around opening hours.

Home → Day trips & weekends: type the city you're staying in (or your home town) and see the ready-made guides within a day trip, then a weekend, nearest first, with ideas nearby.

From the itinerary or the Schedule: where to stay (the map starts where most of your stops are, with prices for your dates from several sites), how to get there (flights, trains, directions), and tours. Booked something? Tap I booked it, type its name, and it goes into your schedule.

The Library shows your guides as cards (My guides, Shared, Viewed), with search, filter, sort and a ⋯ menu on each card (open, guide info, copy, rate, archive, delete). Itineraries made before can be updated to the new look (Update or Later). Wanderlist is now under You.

The terms Trip and Guide are used interchangeably. Both describe possible things to do and places to see with optional schedules.

Travel journals document what was actually done and seen on a trip at specific times. For examples they will contain your photos and your notes.

Destinations are places a guide is about, e.g. a city, multiple cities, a country, etc.

The term "Place" refers generically to locations, paths, and areas. All three appear together in the Places list.

Locations are points on the map, e.g. hotel, attraction, etc.

Paths are lines on a map, e.g. walking or driving routes.

Areas are polygons on a map that define a region, e.g. neighborhoods.

Groups and categories together help to categorize places and enable searching and filtering. By convention, a group is at a higher level (e.g. neighborhood) and a category at a lower level (e.g. restaurant). You can think of categories as sub-groups. A place can have multiple groups and multiple categories.

An event is an activity with a start and end date and time. An event can have multiple places and HTML notes, and belongs to a specific schedule.

A guide has one default schedule called "Main"; additional schedules can be added. Each schedule contains one or more events.

The Itinerary displays HTML content. See section on "Guide Mode" for mor details.

Sections contain store HTML content that can be linked from HTML in the guide. Chapters are folders for organizing sections.

A guide itinerary can be in either Mosaic mode or Custom mode. In Mosaic mode the app automatically populates it with a mosaic of photos representing groups and/or schedules. Clicking on a photo displays a photo mosaic of all of the places associated with that group or schedule. Clicking on a place photo zooms the map to that location, or shows the place's details if it has no map location. In Custom mode the itinerary is editable and can contain any HTML content. It is typically used to display an HTML version of the schedule.

As a guest user you can view guides and travel journals for free, but cannot create, copy, save, or rate guides. No registration or login is required, and you are not obligated to buy anything or view ads.

As a logged-in user you can view, create, copy, save, and rate guides in addition to all guest capabilities.

A content owner is anyone who creates a guide or journal from scratch or by copying an existing guide. They can modify and share their content freely.

1. Andiamo Places lets anyone create travel guides and travel journals for free, which is useful for planning, execution, archiving, and sharing trips.
2. When you first launch the app you are in Guest Mode. As a guest you can view and edit locally, but changes are lost on restart.
3. To gain full functionality (save to cloud, create guides, copy guides) register and log in for free.
4. The top navigation bar shows Itinerary, Places, Map, Schedule, and Menu tabs. In Desktop mode all panels are visible simultaneously so those tabs are not necessary; in Mobile mode and the mobile app this bar is always visible at the top of the screen, so you can switch between them from anywhere — including Library, Wanderlist, and You.
5. The Itinerary screen is the home screen — editable HTML, commonly used as a table of contents.
6. The Places screen lists all places. Filter, sort, or add places from here.
7. The Map screen displays places on a map. Add places, search for new ones, and interact with the map.
8. The Schedule screen shows events for the selected schedule.

For mobile and web mobile mode, the top navigation bar contains:

1. Itinerary — the guide's main itinerary page
2. Places — the list of places in the guide
3. Map — the map of places in the guide
4. Schedule — the schedule of events in the guide
5. Menu — full main menu (create, edit, import, export, share, and more)

For Web Mobile mode and the mobile app the bottom navigation bar contaains:

1. Library — browse guides: Viewed (recently viewed), My Guides, Featured, or Shared
2. Wanderlist — view your visited-places statistics and world map
3. How-To — the command palette; see Search below
4. You — account, profile, settings, sign in, and sign out

For web desktop mode, the top navigation bar contains:

1. Itinerary — the guide's main itinerary page
2. Wanderlist — statistics on the guide and bucket list
3. Library — guides to select from
4. How-To — AI assisted how-to
5. You — registration,login, settings
6. Menu — full main menu (create, edit, import, export, share, and more)

In Desktop mode all four panels (Itinerary, Places, Map, Schedule) are displayed simultaneously — no tapping is required to switch between them.

If you are not logged in you are in guest mode. As a guest you can do nearly everything a logged-in user can, but nothing that requires saving to the cloud — Save guide, Copy guide, New guide, and Review guide all require login.

You do not need to register to view guides. To create and save your own guides you must register and then log in.

Before you can log in you need to register. Login is required to create and save guides.

You can log out for additional security. Tap the You tab and then tap "Sign out". The app remembers login status across restarts.

If you forget your password, tap the You tab and then tap "Reset Password".

Tap the You tab to see your profile: user id, email, first name, and last name.

Open You → Settings to set preferences including distance unit, date format, edit mode, and advanced mode.

Advanced Mode controls how many menu items you see. It defaults to Off (Basic), which hides less-common and more technical actions — bulk edits, KML/KMZ/GPX/TCX import-export, custom map markers, multi-schedule management, and similar — so newer users see a shorter, simpler set of menus. Turning it On reveals the full menus, including everything covered elsewhere in this documentation. Nothing is removed or disabled when Advanced Mode is off — the underlying data and guide are unaffected, only which menu items are shown.

You can toggle it from Settings.

The Welcome Screen displays when you launch the guide and you are not logged in. This screen has options for "Build My Trip", "Browse featured guides", "Start with a Blank Guide" (skips any wizard entirely), and "Sign In" — see Welcome Screen for what each one does.

Depending on Guide mode the Home screen can either be a Mosaic of photos auto created by the app or user-customizable HTML. Common uses: table of contents, main journal content. HTML here can link to other HTML via section links.

Contains a list of all places (including paths and areas). Filter by text, sort, and add places.

Displays places on a map. Filter by text, add places, search for new places, and interact with the map.

Displays events for the selected schedule. Events can be filtered by text; new events can be added and existing events modified.

Displays different types of Guides that can be downloaded, i.e. Viewed, Mine, Featured and Shared.

Displays Statistics on places, countries and continents visited. Also displays the bucket list.

Displays account information and sign in/sign out buttons.

Search

1. Tap How-To on the bottom navigation bar (Mobile mode and mobile app) to open the command palette.
2. Type what you want to do, e.g. "add place" or "export video". Matching actions appear as you type — tap one to run it immediately.
3. The list only shows actions available in your current mode — Advanced-only actions won't appear unless Advanced Mode is on.
4. If nothing matches right away, wait a moment: an AI-assisted search runs automatically and suggests likely matches even if your wording doesn't exactly match a menu label.
5. Tap the microphone icon to search by voice instead of typing — speak your request, and the transcribed text is searched the same way as if you'd typed it.

1. If neither the direct search nor the AI-assisted suggestions find a matching action, an "Ask AI" option appears with your typed question.
2. Tap it to get a plain-language answer, generated from this documentation — including step-by-step instructions when the question is about how to do something in the app.
3. This is meant for "how do I…" questions about using the app. For travel questions about a destination — best time to visit, local dishes, attractions, and so on — use the Travel Wizard in the Main Menu instead.

Places Screen -> Places Menu

When a Places menu action asks you to choose places — Must See, Favorites, Visited, Bucket List, Hidden, Delete Places, Groups, Categories — each place in the list shows its photo, category, visit length and a line of its notes, with a star for must-see places, so you can tell them apart. Web Hover a line of notes to read all of it.

Opens Build My Trip with "This guide" chosen and "Let me review and choose the places" ticked — see Build My Trip: the destinations come from the guide's places (suggested if it has none), you choose the places in a list with photos, and the trip is added to "Main" by default; you can also pick another schedule, overwrite one, or use a new guide.

1. In the Places screen
2. Tap the 3-dot horizontal menu in the Places header
3. Tap "Build Trip from Places"
4. Check the destinations and their dates (suggested from the places if the guide has none)
5. Choose where the trip should be saved and which schedule (see Build My Trip)
6. Tap Create
7. In the list of places, grouped by city, untick any you don't want (hotels are never scheduled as visits) and confirm

Places Screen -> Places Menu -> Content Menu

Automatically retrieve Wikipedia summaries and links for selected places and store them in place notes.

1. In the Places screen
2. Tap the 3-dot horizontal menu in the Places header
3. Tap "Content"
4. Tap "Auto Add Info to Notes"
5. Select the places from the list
6. Tap "Done"

Look up regular weekly opening hours from Google for selected places and fill in the Opening Hours field.

1. In the Places screen
2. Tap the 3-dot horizontal menu in the Places header
3. Tap "Content"
4. Tap "Find Opening Times"
5. Select the places from the list
6. Tap "Done"

Name the places already in your guide from where they are — useful for places still called after a photo file (e.g. "Photo, 14 Oct 13:09"). For each place you see its photos and suggestions: nearby landmarks, the city, or a spot you pick on the map.

1. In the Places screen
2. Tap the 3-dot horizontal menu in the Places header
3. Tap "Content"
4. Tap "Identify Places"
5. Choose or type a name for each place
6. Tap "Done" — if the itinerary shows the old names, the app asks whether to update it

Clear the notes (Info/HTML) field from selected places. This cannot be undone.

1. In the Places screen
2. Tap the 3-dot horizontal menu in the Places header
3. Tap "Content"
4. Tap "Remove Notes from Places"
5. Select the places from the list
6. Tap "Done"

Tapping this asks a single question — only refresh broken or missing photos, or refresh every selected place regardless of its current photo:

• Only Broken/Missing — a single repair pass replacing the old separate "Auto Set Photo" / "Update Bad Photo Links" / "Update CORS-Blocked Photos" actions. For each selected place: no photo gets a fresh search, a broken photo link gets a fresh search, and a photo that loads but is blocked from use in exports (e.g. video) gets a fresh CORS-aware search. Places with a photo that already works are left untouched.
• All Photos — force a fresh photo search for every selected place, even ones that already have a working photo. Use this to reassess photo quality across a whole guide at once, e.g. after a photo-source change.

1. In the Places screen
2. Tap the 3-dot horizontal menu in the Places header
3. Tap "Content"
4. Tap "Refresh Photos"
5. Choose "Only Broken/Missing" or "All Selected Photos"
6. Select the places from the list
7. Tap "Done"

Places where a search found no good photo, or whose photo you cleared on purpose, are remembered on your device and skipped by later Refresh Photos runs, so they don't keep being searched. To try one again, use "Auto Update Photo" on that place.

The automatic photo tools ("Auto Update Photo" on one place and "Refresh Photos") only use images that have no usage conditions — public domain, CC0, or "no known restrictions" — so nothing needs a credit. They look in Wikimedia Commons (files matching the name that were taken near the place), then the featured-guides photos, then Flickr near the place, and take the result whose file name and description best match the place's name. A place with no qualifying photo keeps its current photo, or shows the default image.

When you choose a photo yourself ("Change photo" → Wikimedia or Flickr), every result is shown, each labeled with its license: green means no usage conditions; orange means the license may require credit or has other conditions, so check it before using the photo. Tick "Only photos free to use (OK to print)" to see only photos whose licence allows printing, e.g. in a Photo Book.

When you pick a Wikimedia or Flickr photo, the place keeps its credit (author and licence) and a link to the full-size image, so it prints sharply. A Photo Book that uses such photos gets a photo credits page listing them.

Removes the photo from places and shows the default image instead. Use it when a photo is clearly wrong — a plain default image is better than a photo of the wrong place. Cleared places are skipped by later Refresh Photos runs.

• One place — open the place's menu and tap "Clear Photo".
• Many places — use "Clear Photos" from the steps below (Advanced mode).

1. In the Places screen
2. Tap the 3-dot horizontal menu in the Places header
3. Tap "Content"
4. Tap "Clear Photos"
5. Select the places from the list and tap "Done"
6. Confirm

Replaces the old separate "Use My Photos", "Add Photos to Places", and "Search Places from Photos" actions with one matching pass. Photos near an existing place (by GPS proximity) become candidates for that place's cover photo and/or its notes; photos not near any existing place are grouped into brand-new places, clearly marked "NEW" in the review dialog. An optional base name (e.g. "Japan") can be given to the new places, producing "Japan_1", "Japan_2", etc. — deduplicated against every place already in the guide, including ones from earlier runs of this same feature.

1. In the Places screen
2. Tap the 3-dot horizontal menu in the Places header
3. Tap "Content"
4. Tap "Personalize Guide with Photos"
5. Select the source for the photos: Andiamo cloud or Google Drive
6. Login if necessary
7. Select the photos
8. Tap "Done"
9. Adjust the matching/grouping distance if needed — the review list updates live
10. Optionally set a minimum distance so only photos at least that far from every existing place in the guide are offered as new places — useful for surfacing a day-trip excursion to a nearby town without it getting lost among near-duplicate shots of places you already have; off by default
11. Optionally enter a base name for the new places
12. For each existing-place row, choose which photo (if any) becomes the ★ cover and which are added to ☑ notes — the nearest photo starts as the cover. To leave existing places as they are and only add new places, tick "Only add new places"
13. For each "NEW" row, uncheck any photo to leave it out, use ✂ to split it into its own place, or merge a stray one into the place above it. Each new-place row also shows the straight-line distance to its nearest other new-place row, to help judge whether the two are really the same stop
14. For each "NEW" row, optionally tap "Identify this place" to look up nearby named real-world places (via Wikipedia) or the resolved city name, and pick one to name the place after — instead of the generic "BaseName_N"/photo-filename default. "Identify Clusters" runs this for every not-yet-identified row at once, naming each after its resolved city (with "_2", "_3" etc. added only if two rows land in the same city)
15. Tap "Apply" — or tap "Show new places as search results" (in the app, "As search results") to put the new places on the map as search results instead, to look at and add one by one with +

Schedule Screen — Toolbar

Between two events of the same day, the schedule shows the estimated distance and travel time (walk, car, train or plane); tap it for directions.

A day also starts with a travel row:

• From your hotel — on a day in the same city as the day before. If a hotel is known for that city it shows "From Hotel X · distance · time"; if not, "From your hotel · tap to set it" (in edit mode) lets you pick the hotel from the guide's places or search for it. A hotel is any place with the "Hotel" category — you can also add the hotel as a place and set its category. With two hotels in a city, the one you last checked into is used (add a check-in event on the day you move)
• From the previous city — on the day you arrive in a new city
• Nothing on the trip's first day

The destinations' arrival times decide when a city change shows: arriving the evening before (e.g. Florence from 21:00 on day 2) shows "To Florence" under day 2's last event and a normal Florence day on day 3; arriving that morning shows "From Milan" at the start of day 3.

Create a new scheduled event with places, times, and notes.

1. In the Schedule screen
2. Tap "+" in the schedule header
3. Set the subject, start and end time, associated places, and notes (the place list shows each place's photo, category and a line of notes, with its travel time, opening hours at that time, and whether it's already in this schedule)
4. Tap the check mark to save

Modify an existing event's subject, times, places, or notes.

1. In the Schedule screen
2. Tap the pencil icon of an existing event
3. Set the subject, start/end date and time, associated places, and notes
4. Tap the check mark to save

An event scheduled at a time when its place appears to be closed shows an orange warning icon next to its time. Tapping it opens the exact reason — "Closed all day," "Opens at [time]," or "Closes at [time]" — with concrete fixes instead of just pointing at the place's opening hours and leaving you to work out a new time by hand.

1. In the Schedule screen, look for the orange warning icon next to an event's time
2. Tap the icon
3. Choose a fix — whichever apply to this conflict:
   • Push start to [time], keep the same end time — only offered when the place opens later that same day
   • Move end to [time], keep the same start time — only offered when the place closes before the event ends
   • Swap or replace — opens a picker with three ways to fix it: events elsewhere in the schedule (any day, within about 30 miles of this place, so a swap can't put a place in the wrong city) whose place would also be fine at this event's time, and vice versa (swapping); unused places already in the guide whose hours fit this event's time as-is (replacing this event's place with one of them, one-way — the event's own time doesn't change); or "Find a new place nearby," which searches for a similar open place near this one (a restaurant for a meal event, otherwise the same category) and lets you add it to the guide and replace this event's place with it in one step. Swapping is the only fix available for a place that's closed all day, since no time that day can work; replacing and finding a new place are available whenever a suitable candidate exists, conflict or not
   • View this place's opening hours — falls back to the place's Opening Hours editor directly, same as before

Trade this event's start and end time with another event's, replace this event's place with one that's in the guide but not yet used in any schedule, or search nearby for a brand-new place to add and use instead — available any time, not just when this event has an opening hours conflict (see "Fix an Opening Hours Conflict" above, whose "Swap or replace" option uses the same underlying picker). Swap candidates are limited to events whose place would also be fine at this event's time, and vice versa, and to places within about 30 miles of each other, so a free-form swap can't accidentally put a place into a slot where it'd then be closed or land it in the wrong city. Replace candidates are limited to unused places whose hours already fit this event's time — the event's own time never changes when replacing.

1. In the Schedule screen
2. Tap the three-dot menu on an event
3. Tap "Swap or Replace Event"
4. Tap "Swap or replace"
5. Tap a compatible event to swap times with it, or an unused place to replace this event's place with it

Links for finding travel related items such as flights, hotels etc. The page also explains how Andiamo stays free. Place searches, opening-hours lookups and AI requests each cost a little, so each network (e.g. a home or hotel Wi-Fi) has a daily limit; when it's reached the app says so and when it resets, in your own time.

Sync the current guide to your Andiamo account so it can be accessed from any device. Most changes are local, save periodically to avoid losing changes.

A guide can hold about 1 MB of text (places, notes, schedules and pages; photos are stored separately). When a guide gets close to that, the app warns you when saving. A save that would go over it is stopped before anything is written, with a message on how to make it smaller: shorten long notes or the itinerary, remove pictures pasted into notes (link them instead), or move some days into a second guide.

Main Menu -> Create & Edit

The main way to create a trip or add to one. Choose where the places come from — a search, this guide's own places, other guides, or AI — check the destinations, and get a schedule that fits each place's opening hours, each destination's dates and your pace.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Create & Edit"
3. Tap "Build My Trip"
4. Under "Where should places come from?" tap one of the tiles: Search (real places in each city), This guide (the places already in this guide — see below; shown only when the guide has places), Guides (yours or our Featured guides), or AI (picks for your trip — see below)
5. Optionally tick "Let me review and choose the places" to see the places first and keep only the ones you want
6. Optionally tap "Describe your trip (type or speak)" and say or type the trip in your own words, e.g. "a romantic week in Tuscany in May, we love food and wine" — the destinations, dates and preferences are filled in for you and the source switches to AI; everything stays editable
7. Check the destination(s); tap "Change destinations or dates" (or "Add destinations") to change them — see "Destinations" below. If the guide has no destinations but its details name a city (e.g. a Featured guide), that city is shown, dated tomorrow, ready to change
8. Under "Where should the trip be saved?" choose a new guide, add to this guide, or replace this guide. When adding to this guide, under "Which schedule?" choose "Create a new schedule" (optionally named), or pick a schedule in the dropdown and choose Add to a schedule (the destinations' dates move to start after it ends) or Overwrite a schedule (its events are removed first, then the trip is built into it)
9. Set the chosen source's own options: for Guides, the guide for each destination ("Guide for each destination"); for AI, Preferences, Must include (places or things the trip must have, e.g. "a cooking class, the Uffizi" — tick "only these" to use only those) and Skip (things to leave out, e.g. "churches, shopping")
10. Optionally set the Pace and "Suggest restaurants for" breakfast, lunch or dinner, and open "Show advanced options" (departure padding, leave room for lunch, looking up extra info and opening hours)
11. Tap Create

This guide builds the trip from the places already in the guide — useful for a copied Featured guide or a list of places you collected. It goes into a new guide by default ("A new guide, with copies of these places"), or into this guide if you choose "Add to this guide". The new guide gets copies of the chosen places with their categories and the cover photo — e.g. your own trip from a Featured guide, leaving the original as it is. (Replace this guide isn't offered for this source.) If the guide has no destinations, they're suggested from its places: one per city with at least 3 places, in a sensible order, with the number of days worked out from the places' visit lengths and your pace ("Suggested from this guide's 24 places — check the dates"). The cities come from the places, so "Change dates" only lets you change the dates or remove a city you don't want. A place outside the trip's cities goes to the nearest one (within about 150 km) or is left out. When added to this guide, it overwrites "Main" by default. With "Let me review" ticked, a list grouped by city shows each place's photo, category, visit length and a line of its notes, so you can choose even in a country you don't know. Your places' notes and photos aren't changed — only missing opening hours are looked up. Hotels are never scheduled as visits.

AI: the AI chooses the places for the whole trip — with a day and a best time of day for each — and the app builds the schedule around their real opening hours: morning places first, sunset and evening places last, lunch around midday and dinner from about 7 pm if you asked for restaurant suggestions. This usually takes 10–30 seconds ("Choosing places for your trip…", then "Getting map details for each city's places…"). Three extra places per city are added to the guide unscheduled, as alternatives for Swap or Replace.

Guides: the places come from the guide you choose for each destination, in that guide's order of importance; with "Let me review" ticked they're shown as found places (green, with "+") to add. Searching for "Build Trip from Guides" in the command search opens Build My Trip with this source already chosen.

If today's search limit is reached, Build My Trip says when it resets (in your own time) and offers "Use existing guides" to carry on without a search. See "Partner Offers" for how Andiamo stays free.

When the schedule is built, a place too long for the time left in a day is skipped for now rather than ending the day early, and places left out are then fitted into any time left at the end of the trip.

A guide's list of destinations (city, country, and dates) is its own persisted, editable list — independent of Build My Trip or Build Trip with AI, both of which read from it.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Create & Edit"
3. Tap "Destinations"
4. Tap "Add Destination" to enter one manually, tap "Paste Destinations" to enter several at once as text, tap "Destinations from Schedule" to derive them from the current guide's existing schedule (review the suggested list and uncheck any you don't want), tap "Import Confirmation Email" to derive them from a pasted airline/hotel confirmation, or tap "Explore Destinations" (see below) if you only know the country and how long you're traveling
5. Toggle "No Place" on a destination for a placeholder day (e.g. a sea day or travel day) with no city
6. Reorder, edit dates, or remove any destination
7. Tap Save — if the guide has no places yet, you'll be offered to find places automatically (Build My Trip) or pick them yourself

Let the AI plan a guide from your destination(s) and preferences, using the same Destinations list as Build My Trip. It opens Build My Trip with the AI source already chosen, so it's the same as choosing AI there yourself.

The AI chooses the places — with a day and a best time of day for each — and the app builds the schedule around their real opening hours, the same way Build My Trip does: each city within its dates, morning places first, sunset and evening places last, meals at meal times, and a closed place moved to a day it's open. It usually takes 10–30 seconds. Three extra places per city are added unscheduled as alternatives. The same is available in Build My Trip as the "AI" source, together with "Describe your trip".

1. Open How-to, type "AI trip", and tap "Build Trip with AI" — or tap Menu → "Create & Edit" → "Build My Trip" and choose AI under "Where should places come from?" (see Build My Trip above)
2. Review the destination(s) shown; tap "Change destinations or dates" (or "Add destinations" if there are none yet) to add, remove, or change them — see "Destinations" above
3. Set dates and preferences
4. Tap Create

For when you know a country (or a few) and roughly how long the trip is, but not yet which cities to visit. Suggests a set of popular cities, puts them in a sensible visiting order, and splits your available days between them — all editable before you commit to it. Reached from "Destinations".

1. Tap "Explore Destinations"
2. Pick one or more countries
3. Set the arrival and departure date/time
4. Optionally set a suggested number of nights per city — just a starting point, freely adjustable afterward
5. Optionally turn on "Dates are flexible" if you'd rather lengthen or shorten the whole trip when adjusting a city's nights, instead of taking nights from another city
6. Optionally pin a starting and/or ending city, e.g. to match an already-booked arrival or departure flight
7. Tap "Generate" — a candidate list of cities appears, ordered by distance, with nights already split between them
8. Uncheck any city you don't want, or use "Add City" to bring in one that wasn't suggested
9. Edit a city's night count directly — if more than one other city is still selected, you'll be asked which one to take the nights from (or give them to, if lowering the count)
10. Use the swap icon to replace a city with a different one in the same country, the arrows to reorder the list, or the trash icon to remove one
11. Tap "Use Selected" to replace the destination list with your edited selection, or "Back" to change the countries/dates and regenerate

Use AI to generate walk, bike, or hike routes with POI markers for a city or area. In the menus this is "Create Paths w/AI". A starting place can be chosen from the guide's places, and places can be excluded; Web both lists show each place's photo, category and a line of its notes.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Create & Edit"
3. Tap "Create Paths w/AI" (shown in Advanced mode)
4. Enter city, country, and activity type (Walk, Bike, or Hike)
5. Optionally set distance range and starting place
6. Tap "Create"
7. Review the suggested routes
8. Check the routes you want to add
9. Tap "Add Selected"

Automatically generate a photo journal from your trip photos stored in Andiamo cloud or Google Drive. If the guide already has places in it, the wizard offers a link to "Personalize Guide with Photos" instead, since that flow is built for adding photos to an existing guide rather than building one from scratch.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Create & Edit"
3. Tap "Create Journal from Photos"
4. Choose where this should go: "Add to this guide" (the default), "A new guide" (optionally give it a name), or "Replace this guide" (clears the current guide's places/schedule first) — same choice as Build My Trip
5. If adding to this guide, choose which schedule: create a new one (optionally named) or add to any schedule the guide already has. Creating/replacing a guide always uses "Main"
6. Tap "Select Photos"
7. Choose source: Andiamo cloud or Google Drive
8. Select the photos
9. Tap "Done"
10. Adjust the grouping distance if needed — the review list updates live
11. Optionally enter a base name for the new places, e.g. "Japan" produces "Japan_1", "Japan_2", etc. — deduplicated against every place already in the guide
12. Uncheck any photo to leave it out, tap the star to change a cluster's cover photo, use ✂ to split a photo into its own place, or merge a stray one into the place above it. Each cluster also shows the straight-line distance to its nearest other cluster, to help judge whether the two are really the same stop
13. For any cluster, optionally tap "Identify this place" to look up nearby named real-world places (via Wikipedia) or the resolved city name, and pick one to name the place after — instead of the generic filename/"New Place" default. "Identify Clusters" runs this for every not-yet-identified cluster at once, naming each after its resolved city (with "_2", "_3" etc. added only if two clusters land in the same city)
14. Tap "Create"
15. Save the guide to the cloud

You can also start from photos on the web instead of your own — each one you pick becomes a place, with or without a map location. Under the photo sources, tap:

• Free photos from the web — search Wikimedia Commons or Flickr (e.g. "Spitfire", "lighthouses of Maine") and pick photos
• Wikipedia articles — search a topic (e.g. "fighter aircraft") and pick articles; each place gets the article's photo and its opening text. "Only articles with a free photo" is ticked to start

The new places are put in a group named after your search, so in Mosaic mode each search becomes its own tile. Places without a map location appear in the Places list and in the mosaic (tapping one shows its details instead of the map); edit one to add a location or put it in your schedule. Each photo keeps its print size and its credit (author and licence), ready for a Photo Book.

Available to guests as well as signed-in users — a new guide is only created in memory at this point, so nothing is written to the cloud until you actually save it (or, for guests, until you sign in). Reach it either from the Welcome Screen (first-time signed-out visitors) or any time afterward from the Edit menu's Build group:

1. Build My Trip — offers "A new guide" as its target, then walks you through setting a destination and finding places (from a search, other guides, or AI)
2. Start with a Blank Guide — skips the wizard entirely and clears any sample content, leaving an empty guide to build up manually. On the Welcome Screen, or any time from Menu → "Create & Edit" → "Start with blank guide"
3. Create a Photo Book — asks whether to use the current guide ("Use existing guide") or start a new one ("Start with blank guide", named "My Photo Book"), then opens the Photo Book, to design a printed book page by page from photos and custom pages. Menu → "Create & Edit" → "Create a Photo Book". Save the guide to keep the book.

Shown once per session to a signed-out, first-time visitor with no shared-guide link — identical on all three versions (same illustration, tagline, and options):

1. Build My Trip — clears any sample content and opens the Build My Trip wizard (destination, then places from a search, other guides or AI, schedule, and info/opening-hours enrichment)
2. Browse featured guides — opens the Library's Featured guides list
3. Start with a Blank Guide — dismisses the screen and clears any sample content, with no wizard
4. Sign In — opens the Login screen

Build My Trip and Destinations are also reachable any time afterward from the Edit menu's Build group — see Edit Menu.

Duplicate the current guide to create a new independent copy you can modify.

1. Open the guide you want to copy
2. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
3. Tap "Create & Edit"
4. Tap "Create copy of this Guide"

When you copy a Featured guide, the confirmation reminds you that it was made with the help of AI and may contain errors.

Copy the current guide's content over another guide of yours (or one you're allowed to edit) — e.g. to update a shared or published guide from a working copy. The other guide keeps its ID, link, sharing and owner; only its content is replaced. Shown in Advanced mode; not available as a guest.

1. Open the guide whose content you want to copy
2. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
3. Tap "Create & Edit"
4. Tap "Overwrite Guide" and confirm
5. Pick the guide to overwrite

1. Open the guide to restore
2. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
3. Tap "Create & Edit"
4. Tap "Restore Guide from another Guide" and confirm
5. Pick the guide to copy from

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Guide Menu"
3. Tap "Launch In Web App"

Discard any unsaved local changes and restore the last cloud-saved version of the guide. Only shown for a guide that's actually been saved to the cloud — a brand-new guide (or one just cleared via "Clear local Guide Content") has nothing to reload from, so this option is hidden until the guide has a real cloud copy.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Create & Edit"
3. Tap "Reload Guide from Cloud"
4. Tap "OK"

Remove all locally stored guide data. Use when the guide is corrupted or you want a fresh sync from the cloud.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Create & Edit"
3. Tap "Clear local Guide Content"
4. Tap "OK"

The Edit button next to the guide's title (above the itinerary) opens a short menu of the most common things to do with the guide, identical on all three versions. It is available in both User Content and Photo Mosaic view; in Photo Mosaic view the page-editing items are greyed out until you switch to User Content.

• Edit — Edit Guide Info (name, description, cover image), Edit Itinerary (the page's text and layout), Edit My Notes, Guide Settings.
• Build — Build My Trip, Destinations, and Create/Update Itinerary from Schedule (which rebuilds the page from a schedule and replaces its current content). An item that cannot run yet is greyed out and says why, e.g. "Add events to your schedule first".
• Keep — Save Guide to Cloud and Share Link to this Guide. Each is greyed out with a reason when it can't run yet (e.g. sign in first to save; save to the cloud first to get a shareable link).
• Guide — Clear Local Guide Content and Reload Guide from Cloud. Both ask for confirmation first.

The complete list of actions, including a few not in this short menu, is still under Menu > "Create & Edit".

1. Record your route in Gaia GPS (or any app that can export a KML, KMZ, GPX, or TCX track)
2. From that app, use its Share/Export action and choose Andiamo Places from the share sheet
3. Pick which guide to add the track to, or start a new one
4. The route and any waypoints are added to the guide the same way a manual "Import KML/KMZ/GPX/TCX" would

2. Tap "Export & Share"
3. Tap "Export Trip as Video"
4. Choose the format — 16:9 (YouTube, TV) or 9:16 (Shorts, Reels, TikTok) — the time per slide, background music, where the trip map goes, and whether to add a map before each day's places
5. Optionally change the title slide's text and its background (Photo or Blank), and the end card
6. Optionally open the list of places to untick any — each shows its photo, name and date; with "Skip places without a photo" ticked, places without one are dimmed and left out
7. Tap "Generate" (in the app, "Create video")

The video is recorded live, so it takes about as long as it plays — keep the app or tab open until it finishes. If some photos couldn't be loaded, it says how many were shown as placeholders.

Web The video downloads to your computer; you can set its file name.

App When it's done, tap "Save to Photos" to keep it in your photo gallery, or "Share…" to send it (e.g. WhatsApp, email). The screen stays on while it records.

Export all guide places as a KML file compatible with Google Earth and other mapping apps.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Export & Share"
3. Tap "Export Places as KML"

Andiamo Places doesn't render offline maps itself, but you can export your trip to Organic Maps — a free, open-source offline-maps app — for full map access with no signal. The export is organized by day, with a different color marker for each day and a separate gray folder for any places not yet on your schedule, so you can show or hide a single day (or the unscheduled places) at a time in Organic Maps. Each place includes its notes, address, and phone in its description — plus, for a scheduled place, any notes you wrote on that event (handy for things like flight details), or for an unscheduled place, its opening hours, typical visit duration, and website. Available even when you're signed out or already offline, since it only reads what's already on your device.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Export & Share"
3. Tap "Take This Trip Offline"
4. Choose Organic Maps (or another KML-compatible app) from the share sheet

Show a shareable URL that opens the guide in read-only mode for anyone with the link. Only shown once the guide has been saved to the cloud — an unsaved guide has no real link yet.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Export & Share"
3. Tap "Display Link to this guide"

Send the guide link via any app available on your device (email, messaging, etc.). Only shown once the guide has been saved to the cloud — an unsaved guide has no real link yet.

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Export & Share"
3. Tap "Share Link to this guide"
4. Select sharing app

Turn your trip into a printed hardcover photo book (21 × 21 cm square). Pages are built from the guide's photos — your own trip photos (added via "Personalize Guide with Photos" or "Create Journal from Photos") and stock photos from Wikimedia or Flickr — plus a map page for each day. You can reorder, remove and crop pages, add captions, custom pages and blank pages (a custom page has its own name in the list — tap it to rename; the name isn't printed. A blank page you type into becomes a custom page; custom and blank pages can be deleted), and set the cover title. A guide with no photos can still make a book entirely from custom pages. Your layout is saved with the guide; "Start over" rebuilds it from the guide's photos. To make a book from scratch, use "Create a Photo Book" in Menu → "Create & Edit": it starts a new, empty guide that opens straight into the Photo Book. Stock photos are listed with their author and licence on a photo credits page, and a photo that may print blurry is marked "Low resolution".

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Export & Share"
3. Tap "Print Photo Book"
4. Arrange the pages and tap "Preview Book" to flip through it as two-page spreads, the way the printed book opens (« Front / Back » jump to the covers, the slider moves through the pages)
5. Order the printed book — the product price is shown before you confirm; shipping and tax are added at checkout. Books under 24 pages need blank pages just before the back cover — ordering waits until you add them with one tap or add pages yourself (the minimum printed and charged is 24); the maximum is 300 pages. A printed book needs an even number of pages: with an odd number, ordering waits until you add a blank page inside, make the back cover blank, or add a custom page just before the back cover (or untick a page to leave it out, delete a custom or blank page, or add one). Before checkout you see every printed page to check. Checkout opens on the printer's (Peecho) website, which needs iOS 16.4 or later on an iPhone or iPad — on an older one the app says so and lets you email yourself the link to finish on another device.

Printing, shipping and payment are handled by Peecho, our print partner. For any problem with an order — payment, delivery or print quality — contact Peecho at peecho.com/contact.

Main Menu -> Guide Menu

Choose between Photo Mosaic layout (auto-generated from place photos) and User Content layout (your custom HTML).

1. Tap Menu in the top navigation bar
2. Tap "Guide Menu"
3. Tap "Guide Format"
4. Select either "Photo Mosaic" or "User Content"

Configure per-guide settings: Guide Mode (Mosaic vs. Custom — the home page's rendering format only) and Mosaic display options, Interaction Behavior (Default vs. Custom — what tapping a place/day/schedule row or hovering a map marker actually does), itinerary content (weather/climate links), and day start and end hours used by every automatic scheduler (Recalculate Schedule, Build My Trip, AI trip creation, new-event defaults). "Schedules are separate plans" (on by default) means a place used in one schedule can still be suggested for the others by Swap/Replace, Fill idle time and an event's place list — right for a Featured guide's 1-day … 7-day sample schedules; turn it off when a guide's schedules are parts of one trip (e.g. "Week 1" and "Week 2"). New guides start on Interaction Behavior "Default," which shows a place's details directly on tap — no menu, no extra setup. Switching to "Custom" reveals a separate set of options for each of "Places in List Click," "Places in Map Click," "Places in Map Hover" (desktop only), "Schedule Click," and "Day Click" — show menu, center on map, filter places, display details, etc. — each independently configurable per interaction.

Adding your own photos to the guide's places — as cover photos or in their notes, matched by the photos' GPS location — is done with Personalize Guide with Photos, which replaced the older "Use My Photos" and "Add Photos to Places" actions.

A Place can have a link to: Video, Audio, Section (HTML), URL or Path. The first 3 are straightforward, clicking on a place can play a video, play an audio file, display HTML, or open a URL. The Path is more complex, a place can be linked to a path that has a timestamp and is linked to a video. Clicking on the place will play the video starting at that location/time e.g. a bike ride.

1. From the Places screen: tap the 3-dot horizontal menu in the Places header, then tap "AI Search" — search near a city/place you specify
2. Or from the Map screen: tap Search (in the mobile app the search menu is in the Map Menu), then tap "AI Search" — opened this way, a "Search area" choice appears: "Current map view" (the default) restricts results to the area you're currently viewing on the map instead of a named city/place; switch to "City / Place" to search near a city/place you specify instead, same as from the Places screen
3. Customise the query if needed — number of results; proximity/city/country (hidden in "Current map view" mode, where the map area is the only location context used); and whether to exclude places already in the guide or in your current search results — on by default
4. Describe what you're looking for in your own words — e.g. "romantic restaurants with a view" or "Top 5 wine bars in Milan Italy" — and tap "Search". The number and city/place from the options are added unless your text already includes them
5. Or start from a sample query: picking one fills the search box so you can edit it first, or tap the arrow next to a sample to run it as-is — in "Current map view" mode the list only shows phrases that make sense for a small area (e.g. "Top 10 museums"), and phrases about a wider region (e.g. "cities to visit near," "day trips from") are hidden
6. Progress and results appear right under the search box. Each suggestion is checked against real places before it's added, so only places that actually exist are shown; a search returns at most 20 places, and with "exclude places in the guide" on, "Top 10" means 10 places you don't already have

Most search types (Google text search, Find Nearby by Type, category search, Wikipedia/Flickr search, Find Trails & Paths) are tied to the current map view, so they're only available from the Map screen. This Places-menu shortcut jumps you there and opens the Search menu directly.
