Wow, it just took a few seconds after login to retrieve all my past trips, even if some were made three years ago. Impressive ( but a little bit scary too ? š³ )
@rrhoover just wait till they get your Google Flights in there. Companies like Skyscanner could be properly hurt. Inbox by gmail is also powerful to see your trips with their cards. It made me stop using Tripit in an instant.
@bjorn_bakker@rrhoover Same thought - just used Inbox during a recent trip and was super handy. Wonder if Google decided to spin the Trips tab of Inbox into a dedicated product based on seeing some success with it.
I used the beta version during my europe backpacking trip and it was a lifesaver. On the day before I travel, I download the city for offline usage and I know I am more or less prepared. It provides all the critical information (currency/ transport options/ emergency contact no.), and a good starting point to survey all the popular places - all in one app. Oh, and it automatically all my trip reservations for accommodation and transport.
@leejien Hey Jien, We have just launched Mitty, which will be a good addition to having Google Trips. Mitty allows you to access all essential travel services when travelling around the world: https://www.producthunt.com/post...
I'm looking for a decent TripIt replacement for a long time. I tried every trip organizer app available on the market.
Judging from screenshots I can say that Google Trips looks promising, but the thing is I can't create a trip. It's buggy and useless for me right now... and how much I didn't want to write their support and put some time in resolving this case Google is known for its ugly support.
This looks like a godsend for landing at any new city. The auto itinerary feature drawing the most optimal (walking) route through multiple POIs is exactly the app I was working on
I love the presentation but I'm trying to create a trip in Amsterdam and it's killing me. I select 5 locations by favouriting them. I then view those 5 on a map and click the magic wand to create my itinerary and it keeps adding 2 places that I don't want to visit and removing 2 I want to visit. I don't think these locations are unavailable and the locations it gives me are rubbish/not suitable, one is a massive detour to the town square which is massively off course, then a long journey back to visit a final destination which is actually located really close to the others attractions. I can't see why it's doing any of these things.
I've been using Tripit so far to manage all my travel plans (and TripAdvisor/Yelp to plan out what things to do). One of the best things I love about Tripit is that you can share your travel plans with your trip buddies or friends. This feature seem to be missing here :(
@trekforever Using Faros and its boards you could share them with anyone you choose. You can even decide if they can edit the content or just view it. Take a minute to check it out https://www.producthunt.com/post...
I have been TripAdvisor offline cities for this stuff, but it's wasn't very polished and felt heavy to use. And definitely didn't have much personalized infos (flights, hotel bookings, friends recommendations). It seems like a nice replacement for it.
