- ependydadExplorerOne 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:
http://learntorv.com/lets-go-trip-planning-apps-and-websites/ - TenOCNomadI 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. - GordonThreeExplorerBefore 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. - 2oldmanExplorer IIGoogle maps automatically tracks my movements. I keep notes on Google calendar.
