====== Multi-day journeys ======

//[[de:etappenreisen|🇩🇪 Deutsche Version]]// · [[en:start|← Overview]]

A **multi-day journey** is an activity spanning several days that consists of **sections** – one place per section and often a new place to stay every night.

===== Four kinds =====

^ Kind ^ Example ^ Sections are … ^
| **Hike** (multi-day tour) | hut-to-hut tour, long-distance trail, pilgrimage | stages with walking time, km, elevation |
| **Cruise** | Mediterranean, fjords | embarkation, ports, sea days, disembarkation |
| **Sailing trip** | Croatia, Baltic Sea | legs in nautical miles, berths |
| **Road trip** | US west coast, Iceland ring road | driving stages with driving time, vehicle and passengers |

===== Creating one =====

  - In the trip tap **“+”** → **“Multi-day trip”** and choose the kind.
  - Fill in the **frame**: name, dates, starting point and the details of that kind (e.g. ship, cabin, deck – or vehicle and fuel).
  - The app creates one section per day. Tap a section and enter the **destination** – the start is automatically the previous day's destination.
  - Distance, duration and route are calculated (hiking or car routing, at sea the direct line).

===== Editing sections =====

  * **Times:** start and end; with a known duration the app calculates the arrival. For hikes the walking time is estimated from distance and elevation (DIN 33466) unless you enter it yourself.
  * **Change the start:** if a section starts somewhere other than the previous destination, set the start manually – and link it again later.
  * **Split:** two stages on the same day? Split a section.
  * **Break / sea day / shore leave:** sections without a change of place; for cruises shore leave yes/no and “all aboard” 30 minutes before departure.
  * **Link accommodation:** connect the night after the section to a hotel of the trip.
  * **Import GPX:** a recorded or planned track sets route, distance and elevation.
  * **Documents and costs per section** – e.g. the hut booking right on the section.
  * **Delete:** the section disappears, predecessor and successor are joined.

The app warns you if an arrival would be after dark or a drive takes longer than 6 hours.

===== Combining single activities =====

If you've already created several hikes or car trips on consecutive days, Explority offers to **combine them into one multi-day journey**. Documents are carried over.

===== In the itinerary =====

Each section appears on its day as its own entry; on other days the journey runs along as a slim line (“Port 3/8 · Bergen”). The [[en:day_view|day plan]] only shows that day's route.

===== Free / Premium =====

For free you can edit **3 sections**; from the 4th section you need Premium (or a group trip). → [[en:premium|Free & Premium]]
