Checklists may contain a list of items or activities you want to accomplish during your trip.  In each of the Pre-Trip Notes areas, in addition to adding comments, it's possible to build a custom checklist of items at the Trip, Location and Activity levels.  Checklist items will display immediately below the Pre-Trip Notes although it is not necessary to enter notes in order to create a checklist.  As each item is completed, it can easily marked or checked off the list using the Mobile Trip Profile.

Items can be grouped together by setting header rows and color coding.  If your checklist contains items representing a location, you can easily add a Google Map Link (Short Format) or simply click the Map checkbox to link the Description text to Google Maps and Google Photos.  Click the icon to use your phone's GPS Navigation to guide you to the destination or click the icon to view photos.

Reorder Tip: If your checklist contains attractions you plan to visit at a location, arrange them from top to bottom in the order you want to visit them.  (Use Google Maps to determine the location and your best route for visiting each attraction) As you visit each place, check it off then select the map icon for the next place.  If you have ordered your items correctly, you will save time by visiting the next closest location and avoid running back and forth across town.

See our Ordering Activities & Checklists page for more information.

When you create a web link at the 'Location' or 'Activity' level, if you only enter text for the attractions, such as 'Eiffel Tower', the related location city and country will be used along with the entered text to create the links to Google Maps and Google Photos.
