How do I add a stopover, day trip, or starting point to my trip?

Short visits without an overnight stay all use the same mechanic in Stippl: a destination set to 0 nights becomes a "stopover". Here is how to use it for the three situations people ask about most.

Add a stopover

1. Add the place as a destination to your trip.
2. Decrease its nights to 0 using the minus control on the destination row. Instead of an end date, it now shows as a stopover.

Day trips from your base

For a day trip you often don't need a stopover at all: add the places you'll visit in the nearby city directly to a day of your base destination. Open the day in the day-by-day view, use the add button, and search for the place. See "How do I plan my trip day by day?" for the full walkthrough.

If you want the day trip to appear as its own step on your route and map, add the city as a 0-night stopover between two stays at your base destination instead.

Your starting point and flights from home

Transport in Stippl always runs between two destinations. To start your trip with a flight from home, add your home city as the first destination with 0 nights, then add the flight from there to your first stop. Do the same at the end of the trip for your return flight. Full steps in "How do I add my flight details?".
