## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Here's my trip plan for [TRIP DESTINATION] on [TRIP DATES, e.g. June 3 to 7]: [YOUR TRIP PLAN, e.g. itinerary, hotel, restaurants, sights].

Please turn this into a KML file I can import into Google My Maps.
1. Look up the correct address and location for every place. If a name is ambiguous, ask me before guessing.
2. Group the stops into layers by day (Day 1, Day 2, and so on) in a sensible visiting order.
3. Give each pin a short label and a one-line note (what to see, hours to check, booking needed).
4. Give me the file as a download, plus a plain list of every stop with its address so I can double-check it.
5. Then tell me in simple steps how to import it at mymaps.google.com and open it in the Google Maps app on my phone.
```

## Step by step

1. Paste your itinerary and must-see list into the chat with the prompt.
2. Download the KML file it creates.
3. In your browser, go to mymaps.google.com, create a map and import the file.
4. On your phone, open Google Maps, find Maps in your saved lists and tap your next pin.
