Can you plan a ChatGPT trip for Chinese New Year 2024 (feat. map directions)?

Planning a trip is all about the excitement of the process, but it's also a lot of stress, right? Maybe, ChatGPT Trip Planning Features Have you tried it? Let me try to take some of the excitement and stress out of the equation for you.

ChatGPT doesn't have a trip planning feature (as you'll see at the end of this post, I've added a 'My GPT' feature in ChatGPT 4o). In fact, there's no limit to how detailed you can get when planning a trip, so I'd like to show you how to use ChatGPT 4o to help you with things to see, eat, and do. Let's take a look at an example itinerary for a 2-day, 1-night trip to Daegu.

Implementing ChatGPT trip planning features

1. tell us how many travelers and where they're going

ChatGPT needs to know who's going to be traveling and where, so they can do some research and make some preparations. So basically, we need to know how many people are going to be traveling and where they want to go.

It's important to start with personas first. If you're wondering why personas are popping up out of nowhere, it's because of the 'A guide to writing effective AI prompts (current through 2024): Leverage roles, actions, context, and formats' post will help you to utilize AI services.

Pass the preliminary information to the AI as shown below.

"You're a travel expert now. There are 12 of us in my family, ranging in age from 5 to 70. We're all going to Daegu for Chuseok, and I need you to help me plan the trip. Okay?"

2. Get recommendations for things to see, eat, and do

Who I hang out with and where I go is my decision and I know it, right? But if I'm going to a place I've never been before, the "seeing, doing, eating, and enjoying" of that place is going to be out of my comfort zone, so I might as well get some help, right?

So the AI will tell me what to do, as shown below. Of course, you can have it wait for the next work order after my choice, as shown below, or you can have it make recommendations about eating and playing when it gets tired.

"When I go to Daegu, I want you to tell me a lot about where to stay, what to see, what to eat, and what to do. I'll choose from your information.

3. Create an itinerary table

Once you've chosen your favorite from the options presented by ChatGPT, it's time to get down to business and create your schedule. In some ways, this is the most important step to pay attention to.

I want you to create a trip planning table based on the options I've selected, including routes, travel time, notes, budget, etc.

"I like this, I like that... I want you to create an itinerary based on my choices. I want it to include starting and ending points, travel time in between, and any notes or caveats. And I want you to create a budget based on that schedule."

4. Create a breadcrumb map

I think this is a continuation of #3, and I think it's important. Even if you've built a schedule above, you want to make sure that it's optimized, and the best way to do that is to be able to see the route on a map, right?

So at this point, we're asking ChatGPT to tell us where we're coming from, where we're going, how long we've been traveling, etc. on the map, but when we ask it to do this, we'd like it to be a little more detailed, like the prompt below, but it doesn't always work out the first time.

"I'd like to see the itinerary I've created on a map, with the trips labeled with numbers in sequence and the locations labeled with names. I'd like the numbers and names to be legible, and I'd like to be able to connect the departure and arrival points, with travel times in between, and I'd like a link to download the map."

Anyway, ChatGPT is working alone behind the monitor to meet this need. In order to display the route on the map, I use Python to code the visualization and output the result. To get a quality result, you can refer to the code below and ask him to make a map with the route.

Code example to set # location coordinates and path
import folium

# location coordinates
locations = {
    "Hostel": [35.8834, 128.6064],
    "Kim Kwang-seok redrawing path": [35.8600, 128.6067],
    # additional locations .....
}

# Set route
route = ["hostel", "Kim Gwangseok redrawing path", "Peace Market Makchang Alley", "Dongseong-ro"]

Create a # map
m = folium.Map(location=[35.8722, 128.6025], zoom_start=12)

Show the # route
for i in range(len(route) - 1):
    folium.PolyLine([locations[route[i]], locations[route[i + 1]]]], color="red", weight=2.5, opacity=1).add_to(m)

Save the # map
m.save("daegu_travel_route.html")

Check your results

In fact, my Guichanism kicked in and I asked it to give me options for eating and playing, so I didn't choose, I just asked it to make recommendations. (I can't believe anyone would let an A.I. drag them around instead of taking charge of their life!)

Finalize

With ChatGPT, you can get a lot of information about your travel destination. You can create your own customized itinerary table and even a map showing your route, so you can better prepare for your trip.

However, rather than blindly trusting the information provided by ChatGPT, it's important to use it as a guide to massage in more details. Because this guy isn't a one-size-fits-all yet. Doesn't he still satisfy at least half of what I want? How did you manage to keep your travel excitement and preparation stress at bay?
