From a quick route-only trip to multi-city journeys and swapping places with Google My Maps, here are real examples of planning trips with Flex Trip Planner.
-
Export your trip as KML and view it in Google My Maps
Export the places of a trip you planned in the app as a KML file with a folder per day, then open it in Google My Maps to see it on a bigger screen or share it with travel companions.
-
Make a trip from places you saved in Google My Maps (KML or KMZ)
Collect places by day in Google My Maps, export them as KML or KMZ, and import the file to create a day-by-day draft trip in one go.

Multi-city trips — from a full route to a detailed plan per city
Sketch a trip through several cities as one full route, then make a detailed plan for each city with its own day-by-day schedule.
-
Ready for rain — swap a whole day with a spare slot
While planning day by day, prepare a rainy-day plan in a spare slot, then replace that day's plan in one step when you see the weather.
-
Add transport and times, and swap places when you run late
Add transport and travel times to a simple day plan, keep a few backup places ready, and when you fall behind, replace the place you can no longer reach with one of them.

Just the route — a simple trip planned as one full route
Plan where to go and in what order as a single line, with no costs or minute-by-minute schedule. We use a 3-day trip to Busan as the example.
