2026-02-155 min readUpdated: 2026-03-18

Mapping a travel route in an unfamiliar city is simpler when it sits inside the full itinerary. RouteWhiz helps you choose a destination, add places, organize them by day, and keep the trip map connected to the rest of your plan.

Step 1: Choose Your City and Dates

Start by opening RouteWhiz and entering your destination and travel dates. This gives the itinerary enough context for daily planning, group coordination, and practical trip details.

Step 2: Add Must-See Attractions

Search for landmarks, restaurants, museums, viewpoints, or saved ideas from your group chat. Add everything to the trip first, then decide what belongs on each day.

Step 3: Map the Travel Day

Once your stops are added, build a daily route plan. Keep nearby places together, leave room for breaks, and use the map to avoid a day that jumps back and forth across the city.

Step 4: Customize Timing and Pace

Fine-tune your schedule. Add lunch or coffee breaks, define your start and end times, and adjust the day if your group wants a slower pace.

Step 5: Save and Share the Itinerary

When the route looks good, save it to the trip and share the itinerary with your group so everyone can follow the same plan.

Pro tip: Keep a few optional stops in the plan. If the group gets tired or the weather changes, you can drop one without rebuilding the whole day.
