Road Trip Planner Viewer Reviews

First let me say I’ve been using computers for a very long time and I can generally figure things out pretty quickly using the trial and error approach. Appreciated being able to try a free version before buying the full version. So I started with trial and error and soon realized that wasn’t working for me. No problem, I’ll use the tutorial. Swiped through the examples and thought “cool” this is easy. So, started a pretend trip, which should have been pretty easy. Home to 2 poi to home. Got the home in. Even got the first location in. Couldn’t figure out how to add the second location because the + sign wouldn’t come up again. Back to the tutorial. Went through that again. Started over. Same issues. Played with it for about an hour or so and finally decided to move on.

I agree with the person who commented about Streets and Trips, not because I’m looking to go back to a pc but for its functions and ease of use. The developers snarky comment to a helpful suggestion from a customer told me all I needed to know.

I downloaded RoadTripPlannerViewer for the elevation feature that is advertised but foe the life of me I can’t figure out how to access it. I wrote to “support “ and all they did was refer me to the online help page which only says that the elevation chart is very handy but don’t show how to access it!
So far RoadTripPlannerViewer doesn’t appear to be what it claims.

Downloaded and before I can even start they let you know that none of your entries or changes will be saved unless you purchase the “other app.” It’s a waste of time and a trap. I will buy another but not this one because it was initially misleading. Thanks but no thanks.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME

I spent four hours planning a trip, and when I came back to it, the stops were scrambled with regard to the order along the way. Many were also missing, even though I added them using addresses, city, state, etc.

All RoadTripPlannerViewer does is display a map of your route. Pain to have to open computer to get more info when phone is always handy. No arrival or departure dates, no address of destination pin. Pretty much just a non functional picture. But the desktop part is great.

Sharing with the family doesn’t work

This has the potential of being a great app, but as is, its mostly just frustrating. I have yet to figure out how to delete a pin once it’s placed without deleting the entire file and starting all over.
There also does not appear to be a search function in HELP. If there is and I’m missing it, that’s just more evidence of being non-user friendly. The developers would do themselves a huge favor to study Microsoft Streets and Trips for useful features and intuitive user interface.

I don’t see why this is any more useful than maps. There are no features that allow you to set a destination and plan a multi-day roadtrip, by setting the destination and adding legs of the journey while looking at the entire route and seeing pois on the way. You have to know where you want to stop ahead of time and that can be mapped with google or safari maps. Or maybe you can do that but it isn’t user friendly then.

Not able to get support without joining google groups, then the support is mostly other users.

RoadTripPlannerViewer doesn’t recognize that I paid for it. So won’t save or route my trip, therefore useless to me. Apple App Store marks it paid for
So bummed can’t get it to work

Miles, time, tolls, ... Trying to plan a trip, but this version won’t specify details from one location to the next?

I like the idea but the map lacks detail… one of the reasons I don’t like Apple Maps. Wish it would interstate with Google maps. I find that Google maps has more detail not just major highways.

To think about what point you want to go from another point where you want to begin.
This one like the three others I tried make you start from where you are and want to track you where you progress.
I am flying somewhere else then driving from there. No pin drop allowed without exact address or data downloaded from something else. Planning not allowed.
Want 5 stars? Dumb it down and allow me to be smart. Allow me to just put pins in cities and towns and pick my path and once complete compute the distances and let me decide how far I want to go and drop pins in hotels and campgrounds and places to eat.
Collect what I want from me and then collate.
Going to just go sit at google maps and print to pdf after I look it all up myself.

Nothing seems to work.

Can’t edit pin names

Can’t share contacts

After I bought the paid version, it works really well. The developer seems like he’s tired of hearing about how his free version doesn’t work.

I’ve spent a lot of time searching for a trip planner, this one is beyond my expectations.
The tutorial is just the get started guide.

I’m traveling full time in our 5th wheel trailer. I downloaded RoadTripPlannerViewer after starting this seasons trip. Many of the features available were not in the tutorial but in the sample, so don’t forget to check it out.
When entering dates and times I found the travel time was added in the data.

One of the best parts in RoadTripPlannerViewer is the ability to edit the errors easily.

Bottom line I’m loving it!

This is app works like a charm and most functions are intuitive-some things are tough to associate with an icon but I did find a few link graphics less intuitive than most others in RoadTripPlannerViewer , however once you explore and learn what takes you where, that problem goes away. The designers generously packed RoadTripPlannerViewer with lots of simple to use, relevant tools for trip planning.

My GoTo for Travel. Once you understand its features, you will travel far.

So EASY to use, we transfer files (trips) between our IPDADsthen we independently review

We can easily pull up old trips to find our good memories along with data like cost, distance, how long we stayed….

Who could ask for anything more!

Have not had the pleasure but hope this review gets me to the down load

Great
