MyFavsMap1. MyFavsMap — to turn favourites into a map and itinerary
Ideal if you want to import your Google Maps favourites and see them on a clean map, sorted automatically by category and area, then build day-by-day itineraries. Web app (nothing to install), free offline mode and route optimisation, available in 5 languages. Less suited if you need reservation or budget management.
2. Google My Maps — for a quick, free custom map
Great for creating a small themed map and sharing it. Free and built into Google. Its limits: manual pin-by-pin building, no automatic sorting of your favourites, a 10-layer cap, and painful editing on mobile.
3. Mapstr — to save and discover with friends
A hugely popular social mobile app (3M+ users): save spots in one tap, tag them, and follow friends for their recommendations. Excellent for everyday discovery; lighter for building a real trip plan.
4. Wanderlog — for all-in-one planning
A full suite: itinerary, budget, flight and hotel reservations, group collaboration. Ideal for complex group trips. Note: offline and route optimisation are Pro-only ($39.99/yr), and the app is mostly in English.
