  • For an RV, a trip planner that does not take into account that you are in an RV with height restrictions and road restrictions, is useless. This one just put me on a road restricted to vehicles 7'10" and shorter. Of course, Streets and Trips and most online route planners and mapping software would do the same. What we need is a website that routes RVs and not cars.
  • People are missing the point here.
    It's 'another' map planner, a new tool to add to your list.
    There are many out there.
    It's always good to check different sources for proper planing.

    Thanks for sharing.

    I haven't explored many other trip planners, but I think this is a pretty cool tool. We RVers must often modify the route that any trip planner creates based on what type of roads we are comfortable traveling on. This program allows you to easily "click and drag" the suggested route to modify it to your liking.

    What I found helpful on this planner the ability to click on "Find places" on the side bar and discover some things to do to break up a long boring route (across the plains, etc.)


    I'm just starting to plan a long trip . . . what other planners are there that folks feel are exceptionally useful?


    Microsoft Trips and Streets is what you want.

    It looks like it's just a re-packaged GOOGLE trip planner so I'm not sure I see any advantages over all the other free trip planners out there.
