One way to try it: 1. Install → sign in (Apple/Google/email). 2. Add spots from your camera roll (we read EXIF GPS) or drop pins manually. 3. Build a trip: drag spots into days, share with friends. 4. From your plan, open provider deep links to finish booking. Or just explore: open the map and use the filter dropdown to browse seeded spots in your area. For local exploring too!
You don't need a trip planned. Walk your neighborhood, save spots from recent photos, then tap any spot → "Open in Maps" or "Ride with Uber/Lyft." Fast way to turn "I should check that place out" into actually going. Seeded areas (actively adding content):
San Francisco, Portland, San Diego, Los Angeles, Hawaii, Philadelphia, Yosemite & Sequoia National Parks, Mexico City. If you're local and want to help seed spots, reach out! Known limitations: • EXIF stripped? (common with cloud exports) → You can still add spots manually via map. • Large photo dumps: Clustering is on; first load may take a moment on older devices. • Offline maps and more export formats are on the roadmap. Coming soon: • Instant Add (bulk upload): Dump a backlog of photos and auto-create map spots in one pass (titles/categories are quick-editable). Shipping shortly; I'll update this thread when live. • Fine-tuning affiliate links. FAQs: • Why not just use ChatGPT/LLMs for trip planning? LLMs pull from the same public POI datasets and listicles everyone sees. Photerra builds from user-contributed, photo-verified GPS coordinates — more off-path, high-signal spots, less recycled top-10s. (You can still use AI helpers inside Photerra, but the core data is different). • Why require sign-in? Needed for sync and abuse prevention. Exploring a guest mode based on feedback here. • Privacy? Delete your account in-app anytime. No ad-tech. EXIF is optional (manual pins work fine). Standard analytics and crash logs only. Full details: photerra.com/privacy. • Export options? PDF export available for trip itineraries; other formats on the roadmap.
