While you could just hit publish and blast those photos out into the world, Lonely Planet included extensive options for adding captions, headers and text to your creation. The software also puts them in chronological order, though you can always rearrange them yourself. The app uses geolocation tags to automatically group the pictures by location. From there, you can select photos to add to the guide. When you open the app, there's a big plus button at the bottom that starts the creation process. Trips walks users through building their own travel guide by combining photos with text and maps in a simple but flexible format. But instead of featuring contributions from Lonely Planet experts and contributors, it's all about what regular users have to say and the sights they see on their vacations. At its core, it's a crowdsourced version of the Guides app. The latter provided the inspiration for the latest Lonely Planet project, a new iPhone app called Trips (also coming to Android this fall). The company is the largest travel book publisher in the world and offers plenty of free resources on its website and in the Lonely Planet Guides app. If you've ever planned a vacation abroad, you've probably spent some time with Lonely Planet.
