I hope they'll make a desktop web version of this app, because planning everything (what you want to see, where you want to eat, etc.) on a small screen is tedious.

For all my previous trips I have used Google My Maps [0], which is good but not great: on mobile, the places you added to your layers don't contain any Google Maps information, such as opening hours, and you even need to have data to get the name of a place you saved.

However, what's great with My Maps compared to Trips, in addition to the fact that there is a desktop web app, is that thanks to layers you can color-code the places you add to your map, so for example make all the museums pins purple, the restaurants pins blue, etc.

Played a bit with it and it's not ready to replace My Maps at least for me.

I don't care much about recommendations since I plan my trips beforehand and use My Maps to save the places I want to visit. Having something that could propose multiple itineraries between a subset of those places would be nice (with multiple options related to the method used to move between places).

Trips seems more similar to a traditional guide than an app to assist travelers, you can't really build customized itineraries and even saving places is a bit cumbersome.

Let's just hope they don't kill My Maps now.

In Google Maps you can now add labels to places. And there is some support for emoji, which makes it almost as good as My Maps.

I'm not so sure about the saved locations.. I know they have them.. but I don't have a lot of experience with them.

However, HERE Maps allows for you to do an offline download of the maps, and that includes building names, addresses, routing/driving, and train schedules (non-live).

Agree that Google custom maps on mobile could use some polish. I've been just starring places on Google Maps as a bucket list. This app seems to integrate with starred places.
