Tips
Good to know
Badges are editable. The 12 default landmarks are just a starting point — add your own, remove any, and rename each badge independently.
The full sets replace; “+” buttons append.“50 US States”, “10 Canada Provinces”, “63 US National Parks”, and “Canada National Parks” swap the badge list for the full set (an iconic scene each — the Grand Canyon, the Golden Gate, Lake Louise, Old Faithful…). The “+” buttons append US Territories, Canada Territories, the 4 Canada Park Reserves (Gwaii Haanas, Kluane, Pacific Rim, Sable Island), or Rouge Urban Park. Edit any badge after filling.
The wishlist trick. Use “Apply palette to ALL badges” → Black & white, then switch your visited places back to colour — the prompt tells the AI that B&W badges are places not yet visited, giving a visited-vs-wishlist travel map you update as you go.
Arrangement reshapes the composition. Circular is the default ring, but scatter, grid, arc, and frame all work beautifully.
No reference photo. Landmarks are well-known places. Credit cost is the same as a standard generation.
