The column shows what it can find:
- **Pick a picture**: pictures near or of the place. Click one to make it that place's thumbnail; click it again to clear the choice. The picture then appears everywhere the place does (list, map marker, itinerary, PDF export and shared trips), exactly like a [custom place image](#custom-place-image).
- **Pick a picture**: the place's picture is chosen here, with the pictures near or of the place beside the tiles for your own. Click a tile to choose it; click a source's picture again to let go of it. See [Pick a picture](#custom-place-image) below for every tile. The picture then appears everywhere the place does (list, map marker, itinerary, PDF export and shared trips).
- **A rating**, for a place that came from Google or Amap.
- **Opening Hours**: today's hours up front and the whole week a click away, with an open or closed badge worked out in the place's own time zone. When the hours cannot be read reliably there is no badge rather than a wrong one.
- **Good to know**: facts such as cuisine, outdoor seating, takeaway, step-free access, Wi-Fi or a menu link, where OpenStreetMap carries them.

## The photo gallery
Click the round photo in the head band of the place inspector, or the photo in the phone's place sheet, to open a full screen gallery of the place's own picture and the photos its sources know, each with its credit. While there is nothing to show, the photo is just a picture and does not open.
## Custom place image
By default a place's thumbnail is fetched automatically (from Google or Wikimedia when the place was imported or matched, otherwise it shows a category icon). To use your own photo instead, click the round photo in the head band of the place inspector. When the place or one of its bookings has pictures attached (JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP), a small menu offers **Upload from device** and **From attached files**, so a photo already on the trip can be reused without uploading it again. Pick an image and it becomes that place's thumbnail everywhere (list, map marker, itinerary, PDF export and shared trips). A small remove button on the photo clears the custom image and restores the automatic default. Accepted formats are JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP (HEIC is converted automatically), up to 20 MB.
By default a place's thumbnail is fetched automatically (from Google or Wikimedia when the place was imported or matched, otherwise it shows a category icon). The picture is changed in the place editor, under **Pick a picture** (open the place and click **Edit**). It is a grid of tiles:
A picture picked under **Pick a picture** in the place form works the same way, see [Place details while searching](#place-details-while-searching). The same control is available on saved places in [Collections](Collections#place-detail).
- **Upload image** takes a picture from your device. It is left out when you may not upload files to the trip. Accepted formats are JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP (HEIC is converted automatically), up to 20 MB. Once you have chosen a file, the tile shows it as a preview.
- **Current picture** is the picture the place has now. Click it again to drop it.
- **Images attached to the place**, from the place or one of its bookings (JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP), so a photo already on the trip can be reused without uploading it again.
- **The pictures its sources know**, with their credit line, see [Place details while searching](#place-details-while-searching).
- **Remove image**, beside the credit line, leaves the place without a picture.
Nothing is saved before you click **Update**: **Cancel** keeps the old picture, and a new place can get one too. A picture needs a connection; offline, the form says *A new picture needs a connection. Save again once you are online.* The chosen picture becomes the place's thumbnail everywhere (list, map marker, itinerary, PDF export and shared trips). The same control is available on saved places in [Collections](Collections#place-detail). Where place details are switched off, the same tiles sit in the form itself under **Pick a picture**.
