State of trip planning software
We've been seasonal for the past 5 years, so haven't had to plan a trip in awhile.
Ideally, I'd like to find a web/based service that can:
- suggest a route from A to B
- based on hours/miles, show estimated stop points
- help suggest things to see/do along the route, x-miles off the route detour type of stuff
- save the trip, things you want to stop at, etc, and ideally push it to a google maps navigable leg
Years back I used a variety of software on the laptop, websites, etc. None of it was ever really any good. Especially planning legs based on drive time, and finding things along the way.
Google Navigation is great, but I never found a good way of telling it "nope, not taking that highway, route me around that city" type of stuff. Could do it online, but the mobile just recalculated A to B all the time.
I tried a few "along the way" tools a few years back on a road-trip to Ohio, and they still kinda sucked :(
