Trip Maker 1999

Summary: Yuch!
Review: Better than nothing and may be a good product if it was 10 years ago but in this day and age of advanced software it stinks! Detail is sketchy, print outs come out nothing like what you see on the screen. The printed directions are ok but the maps are close to worthless and you would much rather use your hard copy map even if they are a pain to refold!

Hey Rand McNally! Improve it will ya!

Summary: Trip Maker 1999 is a keeper
Review: I love to go on road trips. One of the highlights of my going on vacation is the planning stage. The Trip Maker 1999 made the process a whole lot simpler. From the ease of use of the software to the amount of information it supplies, the Tripmaker is a perfect planning tool. I had my 2 week trip mapped and printed out in less than 2 hours. It shows you the fastest route, or the more scenic drive, rest stops and hotels that will fit your budget, and area attractions along the way. It will even calculate a budget for you! How can you go wrong with it? The only way to improve the Tripmaker would be to teach it to drive the car!
