Thank you SO much! I’m finding that this past year of solo travel has really given me such an appreciation for simply enjoying my own company. Creating a loose plan in advance of things I might want to check out has been helpful to familiarize myself with a destination before I even get there.
I wish RUclips had directed me to your channel sooner, when you did the original My Maps video. I was supposed to do a New England road trip in Fall 2020. With this tool, I can transfer all the attractions, restaurant and hotel info from my file in Sheets. Next, I'll have to figure out when I can reschedule the trip.
One of the features I love about Google My Maps is that when I build them the old-fashioned way, the attraction/restaurant/accommodation's official website are included in the My Map (which is helpful for easily looking up hours, etc.) but this builder doesn't seem to allow for that (there are no links on the map pins once I export the KML file and import it into a My Map). Is there a workaround for this? I sort of assumed that the "link" field would translate to the map but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Hi there, we completely understand your concern on this. RUclips won't let us post a link in this comment, but you can Google "travel mapper permissions" to find our post explaining why we need these permissions for the all of the functionality to work. Not trying to change your mind, your privacy concerns are valid, but we want to ensure we're as transparent about this as possible.
Do you think Travel Mapper will be helpful for your vacation planning? Give it a try here: blueplanit.co/get-travel-mapper?via=akfasso
this is awesome! I am not so good at saving my plans when I go places lol this is amazing to keep it all tidy and only make changes as needed!
Yup! Definitely planning on using this for every trip moving forward. Great system.
New sub and I LOVE your upbeat, informative videos. I also love planning my trips (which are usually solo) and appreciate this information. Thanks!

Hope you get to do that trip soon! I love the New England area especially during the autumn. :)

Hi there, our technical team is taking a look at this. Can you please send us an email so we can help further?
Happy to report that our team pushed a fix for this today! The link should now be part of the KML import into Google My Maps from Travel Mapper.
@blueplanit1639 wow! Great news! cc @wendychummel
Does this work on a Chromebook? Travel Mapper is in my extensions, but only creates a blank sheet, no templates.
Looks great but on install it wants read/write access to ALL my spreadsheets which I wont allow, so its back to your great google mymaps video..

I highlight a link and right click but don't see the option to add to itinerary. Travel planner is installed.
Hi there, did you install the Chrome Extension in addition to the Sheets add-on?
@@blueplanit1639 That was it...thank you so much.
