If you are looking to use AI to help plan your next trip below is a video explaining how we combined AI with Google My Maps to create itineraries in new cities we visit. This saves us at least two hours of planning time. Remember AI is only an assistant. The best way to find amazing places while traveling is to talk with locals and other visitors in the city. You will always be lead to new and amazing places this way.
If we you want to copy and paste the prompt we used it is below. We used Claude for this demo. But we also had success with Chat GPT and DeepSeek. We left the names of the towns blank so you can fill in the city you will be going to.
“I will be visiting _______, _______ for 3 days with my family. Can you create a csv file that I can upload to google my maps. I would like each day to have two restaurants, one for Breakfast and one for dinner. Prioritize great user reviews, locals opinions and length of time the restaurant has been open. I would also like meals at the breakfast restaurant to be under 10 Euros and the dinner restaurant to be under 25 euros. Could you also give one tour for each day. My kids are ____ and ____. We like outdoor activities and high user ratings on tours. Make them immersive and search the web for the highest rated tours, use sites like Get my Guide, AirBNB experiences and Viator. Could you put the (Insert # of days) days in different csv files so I can upload each day into google maps separately. Can you add an emoji for each day and put it in the day column. I would also like an emoji in the name column that corresponds with that activity- something fun. Can you also add a column for links to the tours and restaurants. In one column of data please include what we should order at the restaurant or focus on during the tour. Could you also add a bonus column for one interesting piece of data for each restaurant or tour- it can be history or what to order.”
Here is a full video breakdown of how to actually produce your own Google My Map with the help of AI.
