FAQ
Answers about Ludemap, the shared trip planner on a real map.
Common questions
- What is Ludemap?
- Ludemap is a map for planning a trip together. Everyone adds the places they want to go, then you arrange them into days, or let AI do that part for you. Friends join with a link, no account needed.
- Who is Ludemap for?
- People who want a plan to start from, not a blank page or a long read, and groups who want to see the trip on one map and change it together.
- How is Ludemap different from Google Maps or Wanderlog?
- Google Maps is good at finding places, but a saved list doesn't say which day anything belongs to. Most trip planners hand you an empty trip to fill in. Ludemap starts you with a first plan, already spread across your days on the map, so your time goes into changing it with your group rather than building it from nothing.
- Can I trust a plan made by AI?
- Not blindly, and Ludemap doesn't ask you to. Every place is looked up on real map data, and opening hours come from Google Maps first. A place that can't be found is left out; where the hours can't be confirmed, the place shows you where to double-check. You keep the time AI saves, and what needs a second look is easy to spot.
- How do my friends edit the trip with me?
- Send them the trip link or its QR code. They open the same map, add their own places and change the plan with you, no account needed.
- Can I use my own AI assistant, such as Claude or Cursor?
- Yes. Open a trip, choose Connect an AI assistant, create a connection key and paste it into your assistant's settings. From then on you can request places in plain language and they are added to the map for everyone. The free Ludemap Skill is worth installing alongside it: it knows how a trip is structured here, so the result is a day-by-day plan rather than a set of unsorted pins. Each place added this way costs 1 Trip Credit, and everything it adds remains editable by you and the rest of the group.
