How to Plan a Photography Trip with Scout AI

Turn one message into a photo trip: real spots in drive order, timed to the light, then edit and save it in LensScape.
01

Say where, when and what

Open Scout AI on the LensScape website and write it like you’d text a friend: “Sunday day trip from Lisbon to Sintra, sunrise start, palaces and coast.” A start, a day and the scenes you want are enough.
02

Read the draft trip

You get a trip card: stops in drive order, an arrival time for each, the light when you get there, and a one-line reason for each stop. Longer trips split into days, up to five.
03

Change it by asking

“Swap the second lake for a waterfall.” “Start an hour later.” The card shows what changed, with new stops marked.
04

Or change it by hand

Remove a stop, move it up or down, or add one from the suggestions. Your edits go with your next message, so Scout AI plans around them.
05

Review and save

Tap Review & confirm to see the final stops and times, then save. Nothing is saved before that. It becomes a normal LensScape trip, so it opens in the Route planner.
06

Fine-tune on the map

Edit trip opens the Route planner, where you can look 5, 15 or 30 km off the road for more spots.

Questions

How many stops can a trip have?
Up to 25 stops, over up to five days.
Are the drive times exact?
No. Treat arrival times as a plan, and check traffic and road conditions before you leave.
