Computer program or app 4 organizing travel adventures??

[realter]

So many places to go and see, how do you keep track of everything? Are there any computer programs or phone apps or has anybody used some type of spreadsheet? Thanks.

One of these days, I'll finish the site that I'm writing for exactly this. But until then, I use a combination of sites - RoadTrippers.com, RVParky.com (from a computer), and a Google Docs spreadsheet.

I wrote about my planning here:

I use Garmin's BaseCamp to mark (set as waypoint) places to see in a folder call "To See". When I start planning a trip I copy/add the places to a folder call for example "2018 NW Trip". I also use Garmin StreetPilot 2720 as my GPS so I can upload from BaseCamp to StreetPilot.

If I have limited time or traveling with my DD or DS I also create a Excel spreadsheet so they can help me plan.

One leg of the trip in BaseCamp below



Excel of part of South Leg -- I add links to websites of key points.



Is it a lot of work, but since I am full time -- what else do I have to do and it allows the DD to help in planning the trip since I can email the excel spreadsheet to her.

Before or during the trip, I star (save) the places I want to see in Google Maps using my desktop or laptop. This works well as a reminder, since I'm in Google Maps a lot on my phone while traveling, the stared places show up when I'm nearby.

I've never had such a long list of "things to see" that I really needed to organize them, that sounds exhausting.

Google maps automatically tracks my movements. I keep notes on Google calendar.
