How It Works
- Add locations: In the admin, create “Trip Locations” with autosuggested addresses.
- Enable the add-on: Select which map should display itineraries.
- Frontend trip form: Place the shortcode
[user_trips_list]on a page so users can create and manage trips. - Build a trip: Users create a trip, then add locations (new or existing) and reorder them.
- View the route: Open the trip to see connected stops and browse details on the map.
Key Features
- Unlimited itineraries per user with add/remove controls.
- Route visualization connecting selected stops with multiple waypoints.
- Auth-aware UI: Only logged-in users can create/manage their own trips.
- Admin insights: Review user-created trips on a map in the backend.
- Media support: Option to include photos/videos for richer trip pages.
- WP Maps Pro integration: Works with your existing map, markers, listings, and styles.
Technical Details
- Product: Customer Itinerary on Google Maps (add-on for WP Maps Pro)
- Requirements: WP Maps Pro installed/activated
- Post types: Trip Locations (stops) and My Trip (itineraries)
- Shortcode:
[user_trips_list](frontend trip list + creation) - Privacy: Users can only view/manage their own trips
Use Cases
- Travel blogs or city guides that let readers plan multi-stop routes.
- Tourism boards highlighting official POIs while letting visitors build custom itineraries.
- Hotels, events, or campuses showcasing suggested routes plus user-saved variations.
Quick Setup Tips
- Seed high-quality “Trip Locations” first; consistent titles and images make better trips.
- Keep routes readable—too many stops can clutter the map on mobile.
- If you use heavy caching, exclude the page with
[user_trips_list]so updates show immediately. - Restrict your Google Maps API key to your domain (HTTP referrers) before launch.
