4.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it., January 8, 2005

By	Bill Murphy "murphbill" (Harrisburg, PA) - See all my reviews

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.

The description said NEW. Maybe it was new but it was an old version and was very poor at that. Much prefer my old version of Street Atlas or Mapquest.
