# How to use filters in Wandrly
Source: https://help.wandrly.app/guides/filters

Filters help you find exactly what you're looking for when your list grows. You can filter by priority, visited status, and custom tags to narrow down places quickly.

## Accessing filters

Look for the filter menu at the top of your list page. Click it to see all available filter options.

## Filter types

### Priority level

Filter by how interested you are in visiting a place:

* **High** - Must-see places, top priorities
* **Medium** - Would like to visit
* **Low** - Nice to visit if you have time

**Example use:** Show only "High" priority places when you have limited time in a city.

### Visited status

Filter by whether you've been to a place:

* **Visited** - Places you've already been to
* **Not visited** - Places you haven't visited yet

**Example use:** Show only "Not visited" places to see what's left on your list.

### Tags

Filter by any custom tags you've created:

* Indoor
* Outdoor
* Kid-friendly
* Date night
* Budget-friendly
* Active
* Any other tags you've added

**Example use:** Show only "Indoor" places on a rainy day.

## Using filters

1. Click the filter menu at the top of your list
2. Select the filters you want to apply
3. Click **"Apply"**
4. Your list and map will update to show only matching places

To see all places again, click **"Clear filters"**.

## Combining filters

You can combine multiple filters to get specific results.

### **Example combinations**

**Planning a rainy day:**

* Priority: High
* Tags: Indoor
* Visited: Not visited
* Result: Must-see indoor places you haven't been to yet

**Seeing what you've accomplished:**

* Priority: High
* Visited: Visited
* Result: All the top priorities you've already checked off

**Last-minute planning:**

* Priority: High + Medium
* Visited: Not visited
* Result: Everything worth doing that you haven't done yet

## What gets filtered

When you apply filters, both your list view and map view update:

* **List panel (left side):** Shows only matching places
* **Map view:** Shows only matching place markers (pins)

This makes it easy to see your filtered results both as a list and geographically.

## Tips for effective filtering

**Create useful tags early:** The more descriptive your tags, the more helpful filtering becomes.

**Use priority levels consistently:** Make sure you're setting priorities on places as you add them.

**Mark places as visited during your trip:** This keeps your "Not visited" filter accurate and useful.

**Combine filters for specific scenarios:** Think about situations you'll encounter (bad weather, limited time, kids are tired) and filter accordingly.


# How to edit your saved places
Source: https://help.wandrly.app/guides/place-details

Once you've added places to your list, you can add notes, tags, priorities, and more to keep everything organized and memorable.

## Adding notes

Notes help you remember why you wanted to visit a place or capture important details.

**To add notes:**

1. Click on a place in your list
2. Select **"Edit notes"** or **"View details"**
3. Type your notes in the text field
4. Your notes are automatically saved

**What to include in notes:**

* Friend recommendations ("Sarah said to try the tacos")
* Specific menu items or dishes
* Opening hours or best times to visit
* Reservation requirements
* Parking information
* Budget estimates

## Adding tags

Tags help you categorize places so you can filter them later.

**To add tags:**

1. Click on a place in your list
2. Find the tag field
3. Start typing to create a new tag or select an existing one
4. Press enter to add the tag

**Helpful tag ideas:**

* **Weather-based:** Indoor, Outdoor, Covered patio
* **Activity type:** Active, Relaxing, Cultural
* **Occasion:** Date night, Kid-friendly, Solo travel
* **Budget:** Budget-friendly, Splurge, Free
* **Meal type:** Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Coffee
* **Who suggested:** John's picks, Mom's recommendations

**Tag tips:**

* Create tags as you add places, not all at once later
* Use consistent naming (decide on "For kids" vs "Kid-friendly")
* Don't over-tag - 2-3 tags per place is usually enough
* Think about how you'll want to filter later

## Setting priority levels

Priority levels help you identify which places matter most when time is limited.

**To set priority:**

1. Click on a place in your list
2. Find the priority dropdown
3. Select your priority level

**Priority options:**

* **High** - Must-see, top priority places
* **Medium** - Would like to visit if possible
* **Low** - Nice to visit if you have extra time

## Getting directions

When you're ready to visit a place, you can open directions in Google Maps.

**To get directions:**

1. Click on a place in your list
2. Select **"Directions"**
3. Google Maps will open with directions from your list start location

This makes it easy to navigate to places directly from your Wandrly list.

## Marking places as visited

Track your progress by marking places you've been to as visited.

**To mark as visited:**

1. Click on a place in your list
2. Toggle the "Visited" status

**What happens when you mark a place as visited:**

* A checkmark icon appears on the map for that place's respective marker (pin)
* The place card in the list view is outlined in red
* You can filter by visited/not visited status
* You can see your progress through the list

**Pro tip:** Mark places as visited during your trip to keep track in real-time.

## Viewing place details

Each place shows:

* Place name and type
* Address
* Priority level
* Tags you've added
* Notes you've written
* Visited status
* Who added the place (in shared lists)

**To view all details:**

* Click **"View details"** on any place in your list

## Editing existing details

All details can be edited at any time:

* Click on a place to open the details
* Update any field
* Changes save automatically

You can also remove tags, change priorities, or clear notes whenever needed.

## Map view indicators

Your customizations are reflected on the map:

* Different pins show place types (restaurants, museums, etc.)
* Checkmarks appear on visited places
* All your saved places are visible at once

## Best practices

**Add details as you add places:** Don't save a bunch of places and plan to add details later. Add notes and tags immediately while you're thinking about the place.

**Be specific in notes:** Instead of "looks good," write "Known for BBQ brisket, get there early." Future you will appreciate specifics.

**Use priority levels honestly:** If everything is high priority, nothing is. Be realistic about what you can actually do.

**Update as you go:** If you visit a place and it was amazing (or disappointing), add notes about your experience.

**Tag for scenarios:** Think about real situations ("what if it rains?") and tag accordingly.

Simply type in the location, and it will be added as your home base for the list.

## Step 2: Add your first saved place

Once you've set your start location, you can begin adding places to your list.

### To add a place:

1. Use the search bar to look for places in your destination
2. Click on the place you want to add
3. The place will be added to your list and appear on the map

### Understanding the map icons

Wandrly uses different icons to help you identify types of attractions:

* **Restaurants, Activities, and more** - Each category has its own distinct icon

These visual markers make it easy to see at a glance what types of places you've saved.

## Step 3: Set details for your saved places

Adding details to your saved places helps you remember why you wanted to visit that place and organize your trip better.

### Adding notes

2. Select **"Edit notes"** or **"View details"**
3. Type your notes (recommendations from friends, specific dishes to try, opening hours, etc.)

### Adding tags

Tags help you categorize places for easy filtering later.

**To add a tag:**

1. Click on a place in your list
2. Select the tag field

### Setting priority levels

* Filter by any tags you've created

* **Example 2:** Active tag + Not visited = Outdoor activities still on your list

After applying filters, your list and map will update to show only matching places. Click **"Clear filters"** to see all your places again.
