I have used tripmaker to plan a number of trips since version 1. I am up to Tripmaker Deluxe by Topics which may be prior to this version but they have not changed much recently. I find it very useful in plotting daily mileage for different route options. My wife does not wish to travel more than 6 hours a day. Tripmaker keeps me out of trouble. For instance, I had 3 days between Yellowstone and Glacier NP. With Tripmake I tried different routes to stop at the most desirable sites in between without overdoing the driving each day. It is this sort of "what-if" testing that makes it so valuable and then print up the final choices, get on-line, make reservations and go on the road.

This was an updated version of Rand McNally Tripmaker 1998 which I used extensively. The software still works very well and I am pleased with its results.

I ordered the TripMaker by Rand McNally because I misplaced the one I already had and needed it for another computer. It certainly is well worth the buy if you like to travel and want to save some time by letting the TripMaker figure the time and mileage for you. It also gives you your choice of the most scenic or quickest way to go and will map it out for you. It also has other features such as attractions, places to stay and so on. Well worth the buy for the traveler.

I ordered this item at Amazon. The price was right and it arrived in excellent condition and in quick order. I appreciate "The Mad Hatter" out of Sandy, OR for their excellent service too.
