Create Your Own Trail
With itemID's Trail Builder, you can connect multiple places into a trail and share it with others. Here's how:
Step by Step
- Start a trail: Tap the "+" button and select "Trail" from the type picker
- Name and description: Give your trail a descriptive name and a short description
- Add stops: Search for existing places or create new personal places as stops
- Set the order: Arrange stops in your preferred order via drag and drop
- Choose check-in methods: Set how visitors can check in at each stop (GPS, QR code, or manual)
- Set visibility: Choose between private, unlisted, or public
- Save: Your trail gets its own page and QR code automatically
How Many Stops Can a Trail Have?
A trail must have at least 2 stops. The maximum depends on your tier — the free tier allows up to 10 stops per trail.
Can I Edit My Trail Later?
Yes, you can add, remove, or reorder stops at any time. Go to your trail and click "Edit."
Tips
- Add a description that explains what visitors can expect
- Choose GPS check-in for outdoor trails and QR code for indoor locations
- Test the trail yourself before making it public
