Trip Planner

Want an easy way to record or plan your trip in the USA? Check out these links that will make your life easier and your trips more memorable.

Track My Tour – I’ve used this many times and enter my stops along the way as I arrive. That way, they are recorded and I can have a record of the places I went, in case I actually forget along the way. You can also upload a photo, like a state entrance sign or a city limit sign to make it easier for you to remember.

Wanderlog – Wanderlog has a comprehensive set of organizational tools for road trips. The site offers both a premium version that can be used offline and it has advanced features. The free site combines itinerary builders, map-based planning, and budget racking in one place. You can also import hotel and flight information from emails. It also offers route optimization for the most efficient path between multiple stops.

Roadtrippers – If you’re an RVer, Roadtrippers is membership-based. They offer a free version, too, but it’s not very robust, from what I could tell. It’s considered a top tool for finding off-the-beaten-path RV travel destinations. If you’re planning long itineraries with multiple stops, it might be your best bet. The app includes RV GPS navigation that avoids low bridges or propane-restricted tunnels, something we could have used when my husband and I went RVing in the southwest a few years ago.

None of the links above are sponsored. I am sharing them to help you with your travel plans.
