MAP PINS HOLD WHAT YOU NEED. Each pin shows:
- arrival date & time
- departure date & time
- travel time to this location
- time spent at this location
- name of pin (such as John’s house)
- address of pin
- notes and images
- custom pin color and icon
- URL for related information
- weather reports
- transport type (driving or walking)
- Internet Search results
- list of activities (lodging, sights to see, etc.)
- choose between multiple routes (if available)
- view driving distance between pins, driving time, fuel cost, travel advisories, turn-by-turn driving directions
- Export pin data to your calendar.
EACH PIN CAN HAVE MANY ACTIVITIES. For each activity you can record:
- name of activity
- activity date, time and duration
- cost
- phone
- FAX
- address
- URL
- email address
- confirmation number
- notes
- picture
There are two types of pins. Route Pins are used to create the route. POI Pins mark points of interest on the map.
Choose between Apple Maps or OpenStreet Maps. Cache non-Apple maps to disk for offline use. See the settings and Help for more info.
For air and rail routes a straight line can be displayed between pins.
Add, remove or rearrange the pins in any order you wish. Routes and pins can be sent to Apple Maps.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASING:
The mapping and routing functionality Road Trip Planner uses is based upon Apple’s maps technology. If Apple Maps cannot find a route between map pins, then neither can Road Trip Planner. Please test the area you wish to travel using Apple’s Maps app to ensure that the area can be routed. If it cannot be routed, please submit the issue to Apple. If Apple Maps cannot perform routing in the area you wish to travel then neither can Road Trip Planner.
