The Itinee Mobile App Field Manual: Buttons, Menus & On-the-Ground Navigation
A step-by-step visual walkthrough of your pocket travel companion: from Spotlight Hero cards to Go navigation and offline ticket turnstiles.
1. The Screen-by-Screen Tour: Home, Timeline & Map
• Home Screen: At the top, the "Up Next" Spotlight Hero Card automatically highlights trips starting today or within the next 30 days, complete with live destination weather, countdowns, and quick-open actions. Below, your full itinerary collection is searchable and filterable by status. If you need travel inspiration, scroll to the bottom "Inspiration Shelf" or tap the top Compass icon.\n• Day Timeline: Your core operational view. Every day is cleanly bookended with Base Departure (top) and Base Return (bottom) cards, while attraction stops display calculated arrival times, stay duration badges, and transit legs.\n• Interactive Map: Visualises your day's sequence with numbered attraction pins, dedicated Base Camp Lodging pins (🏨), and dynamic multi-modal route polylines representing your active travel mode.
2. Button & Icon Directory: What Does Each Action Do?
• [ Go ] Button: Found on stop cards and transit legs. Immediately deep-links into Google Maps with exact geographical coordinates and your chosen transit mode (Walk, Drive, Transit) pre-loaded—no foreign address typing required.\n• [ 🚕 Ride ] Button: 1-tap Uber integration that pre-populates pickup and drop-off coordinates directly into the Uber app.\n• [ 🏨 Lodging & Base Camps ]: Anchors your day to your hotel, villa, or holiday apartment. Features automated reverse "Leave-by" scheduling, split return bases, and unified transit connectors.\n• [ 🎟️ Ticket ] Vault: Opens high-contrast QR/barcodes, slot booking times, and gate notes ready for optical museum turnstiles.\n• [ ☕ Break ] Button: Inserts relaxing hotel downtime, lunch, or coffee pauses without generating fake transit lines.\n• [ 🧭 Compass ] Icon: Instant access to community Discover templates from anywhere in the app.
3. Step-by-Step "How-To" Quick Recipes
• Setting Up Trip Lodging & Reverse "Leave-by" Times: Tap the three-dot overflow menu or the lodging card on your timeline. Select your hotel or apartment via Google Places. Itinee automatically computes the driving or transit leg to Stop 1, displaying an exact "Leave by" time to ensure you arrive comfortably on time.\n• Adjusting Visit Durations: Tap the stay duration pill on any place card (e.g. "60 min"). Choose from instant quick presets (15m, 30m, 45m, 1h, 1h 15m, 1h 30m, 2h). All downstream arrival times shift automatically in real time.\n• Reordering Stops: Drag and drop stops in your day schedule to test alternate sequences, or run an AI Route Audit to let machine learning eliminate backtracking.\n• Google Wallet Sync: Tap "Add to Google Wallet" on your itinerary details screen. Your day pass saves offline to your phone and smartwatch, updating in the background whenever your plans change.
4. Troubleshooting, Offline Reliability & Battery Optimization
• Offline Usage: Itinee caches your itineraries locally. You can view schedules, place notes, and ticket QR codes without active cellular data.\n• Push Notifications Not Arriving? On Android, go to Settings → Apps → Itinee → Battery and set to "Unrestricted", then ensure Notifications are enabled. This guarantees timely "Time to Move" and morning briefing alerts.\n• Transit Line Unavailable? If walking between remote stops exceeds reasonable pedestrian limits, tap the travel mode switcher to change the day or leg mode to "Drive" or "Transit".
Enable "Show Over Other Apps" and Location permissions during initial setup. This ensures that 1-tap "Go" routing launches Google Maps instantly without permission prompts when walking in crowded streets.
