Icons that say what a place is

A stay, a meal and an activity used to draw the same icon for a hostel or a resort, a cafe or a bar, a museum or a beach. Each now draws the icon for what it specifically is, in the same colour as before.

Two rows of badges side by side: on the left three badges with the same generic icon in their kind's colour, on the right the same three in the same colours but each with its own icon, a museum, a park and a cup of coffee

Every stay drew the same bed, every meal the same fork and knife, every activity the same ticket, on the map and in the day's timeline alike. A hostel and a resort, a coffee shop and a cocktail bar, a museum and a beach: all the same badge, in the same colour, telling you only which of the four kinds of thing it was.

  • A stay now draws its own icon when its type says what kind it is: a hostel, a resort, a cottage, a campground, a guest house.
  • An activity does the same: a museum, a park, a beach, a temple, a theatre, a market, and more.
  • A coffee or a snack picked at a cafe, a bakery or a bar draws that icon instead of the general one. Breakfast, lunch and dinner always keep the fork and knife, whatever the place.
  • The colour behind the badge has not changed, pink for a stay, orange for a meal, teal for an activity: only the glyph inside it is new.

A stay or an activity you already planned gets its new icon the moment you open the trip again, with nothing to redo. A meal only picks it up once its place is picked again.
