How to Plan a Photo Route in LensScape

Build a driving route between cities or photo spots, then pick places to shoot along the way — without a second search box.
01

Open Route on the map

On the LensScape map (iPhone or web), switch to Route or tap Plan route. The list becomes a planner: a start, optional stops, and a destination. Name the trip once both ends are set so you can find it later.
02

Search cities and spots in the same box

Tap Starting point or Destination and type. One field filters LensScape photo spots and cities or addresses together. Pick a result, or use My Location as the start. Long-press the map if you would rather drop a pin.
03

Add the stops that matter

Add stop uses that same combined search. Reorder stops, or tap Optimize when you have two or more so they fall in a sensible drive from start toward the destination. Swap flips the whole trip around.
04

Let the road find more spots

Choose a search radius of 5, 15, or 30 km. LensScape lists photo spots inside that corridor, ordered from where you depart — lakes, viewpoints and pull-offs you would miss on a highway search. Adding a stop keeps the spots you already found.
05

Put a spot on the route

Open a pin and use the card: Set as start, Set destination, or Add to route. The same actions sit on each row in the list. Set a departure time on the planner so arrival light stays attached to the drive.
06

Save it and open it on the phone

Save Trip keeps the route with your other trips. Open it from My trips, or from the trip pills on the map. Plan on a laptop at /map, then shoot from the iPhone app with the same start, stops and destination.
