Road Trip Planner 1.1
Device: Mac OS
Category: Travel
Price: $4.99, Version: 1.0 -> 1.1 (iTunes)
Description:Road Trip Planner helps you plan your next road trip, or use it to record your past road trips.
Drop pins worldwide anywhere on the map by shift-clicking onto the map, or by entering an address (type the address, or obtain it from your Contacts). Once the pin drops onto the map, its address is retrieved. When two or more pins are on the map, routes between the pins can be displayed. The routes can be driving or walking, and they show the distance, travel time, fuel cost if driving, and any advisories. Perfect for anyone planning a road trip, or wants to maintain a record of past road trips.
Features:
- Add an unlimited number of pins to the map.
- Save each road trip as a separate document.
- Customize routes by dropping more pins.
- Add notes (including images), arrival and departure date and time, URLs, and more for each pin.
- Rearrange the pins so they’re ordered the way you want.
- View weather and web cams for each pin location.
- Search for places or amenities (gas, hotels, food) for each pin location.
- Send a route or the pins to Apple Maps.
- Routes show fuel costs when driving.
- Receive location data from some of our other map related apps (see web site below for specifics).
- And more!

Contacts access: this app requests access to your Contacts for two reasons:
1. It uses the address book to create address information based on a given latitude and longitude. In this instance your contacts are not used, but in order to compute the address from a latitude and longitude, developers are required to request access to your Contacts.
2. For the Add Pin window, we tried to make it easy for you by allowing you to select a location from your Contacts to drop a pin on an address in your Contacts.
That’s it. Nothing evil. Just trying to make the app easier for you to use.
