I use this tool to prep and plan all of my photo trips, it is a game changer! FOLLOW ME: Instagram: hyimages Website: www.hannahyoung.co.uk MUSIC: artlist.io CHAPTERS: 00:00 Introduction 00:16 What Is It? 01:23 How To Use It
@@HannahYoungPhotography I think you've covered it. I use it the same way, having lists and customizing each point are the main advantages of this tool.
I have done this over the last few years from regional trips to 3 European vacations. I combine them with a shared Google doc with the traveling companions (usually my wife) and it covers these things: places or acitivities (divided into must-see, want, and fillers), general travel info, concerns, etc. I personally use a 3rd doc, a TO&E (Table of Organization and Equipment - from the military - no, I've been a civvy but that's another story). I have a template TO&E with everything listed: clothes, bags, camera equipments, meds, etc. I then make a copy for each trip and pare it down and add any specialized needs for that trip. I know what I need to pack and have a fab checklist. I know where I am going, how and when to get there (and why), and have options ready (just to chill, in case it rains, etc). As usual I leave in downtime and can always use fillers if I'm feeling active. HTH!
This is brilliant. I had no idea this could be done in Google Maps. Will be creating one for my upcoming trip to Orkney and Outer Hebrides in September. Thank you so much.
Amazing - your trip sounds incredible. One other thing that might be really useful for a trip like that is to save that portion of the map ‘offline’ as you might lose service in parts. I used this on a roadtrip in Iceland. It was a life saver….
It’s a life saver. And yes, I should have mentioned actually being able to save the map as ‘offline’. You can do this on your phone or the device you wish to have access to it on. You can select the area and it will cache it. Very handy if going remote…
I think you’ll love it Steve. Total game changer! I hope you make me super jel with your Japan adventures 🇯🇵 Absolutely buzzing to go one day ✈️ Have you been before?
Oh amazing. Thank you - really excited now and seen some great things about it. Haha - also about the plane landings. Looks a bit sketchy.... Hopefully will have some stories and video to share from the trip soon too.
