Road Trip Planner LITE Overview
What is Road Trip Planner LITE? Road Trip Planner LITE is a free app that allows users to plan and create itineraries for their road trips. Users can place pins on a map for each location they want to visit and enter trip details for each location to create a complete itinerary. The app provides various details for each pin, such as arrival and departure time, travel time, time spent at the location, address, notes, images, custom pin color and icon, URL for related information, weather reports, Flickr photo search, elevation, transport type, satellite view, internet search results, list of activities, and more. Users can also export pins and routes as GPX files that can be imported by GPS devices. The app is compatible with Apple Maps or OpenStreet Maps and allows users to choose between driving and walking for each pin. The itinerary can be saved and shared easily, and a to-do checklist is also available. The app is based on Apple's maps technology and may not be able to find a route in areas where Apple Maps cannot perform routing.
1. If Microsoft Maps cannot find a route between map pins, then neither can Road Trip Planner.
2. If it cannot be routed, please submit the issue to Microsoft at If Microsoft Maps cannot perform routing in the area you wish to travel then neither can Road Trip Planner.
3. The mapping and routing functionality Road Trip Planner uses is based upon Microsoft’s maps technology.
4. This LITE version is also useful for sharing a Road Trip Planner file with others who will not be making changes to the file.
5. It can open files created with Road Trip Planner on the Macintosh, iPhone and iPad.
6. VIEW YOUR TRIP ON YOUR IPHONE OR IPAD with our Road Trip Planner app for iOS, or use our FREE Road Trip Planner Viewer app.
7. Road Trip Planner LITE does everything that Road Trip Planner can do, EXCEPT save files.
8. Route pins and routes can be exported as GPX files that can be imported by many Global Positioning System devices.
9. Enter trip details for each location and create a complete trip itinerary.
10. Place pins on a worldwide map for each location you want to visit, then see your route.
11. Routes and pins can be sent to Microsoft Maps.

This new version is Very useful
I am a heavy user of the full-featured (paid) version of Road Trip Planner. This LITE version is very useful to me because I can share my trips with others who want to view all the details including the itinerary, the map route, the activity details, the contact information and notes, etc. This latest version of LITE is a big change from the previous versions which were limited to just a few route pins. The LITE version can now read and create all the same details that the full version can, so it is a great way to see what Road Trip Planner can do. Be sure to check out the included tutorial. The expanded HELP menu has links to sample Road Trip Planner files which are very interesting… especially the Route 66 trip and the Spain 2014 trip. BTW, this LITE version can read Road Trip Planner files that were created on the Windows, the iPhone, or the iPad. The developer responds quickly to questions and suggestions. A-1 product!
GREAT Map Program !!!
This does for me what no other program does. It allows me to mark mutliple points on a map that I am planning to visit. Why does Microsoft and the other map programs only allow you one destination per map?? Stupid! This program lets you make a map visting up to 4 places. I will definately be buying the full version so I can mark more points. I typically go to 8 -10 places on a trip. I will agree with the reviewer that said the interface isn’t the easiest, but it took me abut 5 minutes to learn it all. For what it does, great program!!
Great App
ive used this several times with great success, only thing is i wish that there was a way to get custom pins to change colors like the inbuilt ones
