claudette50 Report post Posted October 13, 2017 I'm looking for an app that allows me to enter my starting point, enter my final destination, how long I want to drive between stops eg. 5-6 hours, and change the route that I want to take. I'd like the app to then map out my trip given those parameters. Is anyone aware of this type of app? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillAdams Report post Posted October 13, 2017 You can do most whatever you want with Google Maps. Planning works better on a computer than on the phone but it's still great. It won't do calculate 5-6 hours of driving but you can put in stopping points and it will show the time and distance. If that is too long or too short remove that and select another stopover in an area you would like to stay. I plan most of my trips this way but I also revert back to a mapping program last update in 2002 from Rand McNally which does to everything you want. It really to **** bad that Rand won't re-release this software called TripMaker it is the best planning tool I have ever used to travel. You can set how fast you drive, when the trip starts and ends, time you leave and time you plan to stop and it keeps a record of the entire trip. In my case, my trip starts in Jan and ends in December so I have our entire travels for the entire year on one map. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted October 13, 2017 RV Trip Wizard allows you to set either miles or time to drive. I have no experience with this program but I understand it has this feature. https://www.rvtripwizard.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkhartjim Report post Posted October 31, 2017 I really don't know what it costs, Bill, if you say $39 I trust you looked it up. I just remembered reading about this planner that met most of the OP's needs. Like I reported, I've never used it. It makes no difference since the OP never visited the site after asking the question. Have a nice day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted October 31, 2017 Jim. Don't be too harsh on the OP, he/she could be "Oil field Trash", like I am/was, working a 28/28 schedule on a rig in Angola, Africa! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elkhartjim Report post Posted October 31, 2017 I'm sure Claudette, the OP, is wearing out gloves every day just as I did when I worked offshore one summer during college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkhartjim Report post Posted October 31, 2017 Oh no....I had forgotten that stuff. Only one way, time to grow new skin. As I recall, I disposed of all my work clothes after that stint. I was 7 on 7 off working out of Galveston for Penrod Drilling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
