Week of September 8, 2026

Thank you to Nathan Byrnes, who sent a detailed UX feedback report with many suggestions on September 7. The range and long-driving-day changes below came straight from it.

Feature

• The planner now tells a leg that is longer than your car’s rated range apart from a day that is just a long drive.
• A driving day over 6.5 hours shows the trip owner a “Very long driving day” note with an Add stop button.
• Trip owners can change the start date right on the trip summary screen.
• Paste a plan now takes a start date, and you can open it from Basecamp.
• When you create a trip, you can choose who can see it. The picker explains that only Public trips count toward your profile stats and park stickers.
• The stop detail panel in the planner has a Journal tab for the trip owner.

Bug fix

• When a collaborator adds a stop, they now see that it went to the trip owner as a suggestion, instead of a network error.
• Collaborators no longer see an Add button on lodging and campground cards that only the trip owner can save.
• The Trip Type picker now says what it changes: Family hides water parks and amusement parks in Discover stops by default.
• Photo import now tells you that a photo’s location is sent to an outside geocoding service.
• Small captions across the site are easier to read, with higher contrast.
