Planning trips
A trip is a route built around your limits: where you’re going, how long you have, and what you drive. tripster turns that into a day-by-day plan with stops you can swap.
Plan a trip
- Open Trips and choose Plan a new trip.
- Give it a name, then set a Start and Destination. Type to search, or use Use my location to start from where you are.
- Add any stops along the way. Each becomes a point the route must pass through — reorder them with the up/down arrows.
- Set how many days you have. Turn on Round trip to loop back to your start.
- Pick a vehicle, a max speed, and how far to look for stops (Stops within). Leave any of these blank to inherit your saved preferences. See Vehicles & parameters for what each one does.
- Choose Create trip. tripster routes it, splits it into daily legs, and opens the plan.
Tune the plan
On the trip page you get the route on a map and a day-by-day itinerary. For each night, tripster suggests where to stop within your limits; swap in an alternative when you’d rather stay somewhere else. Need to change the route itself — different dates, a new waypoint, a bigger rig? Use Edit to update the parameters and re-plan.
Deeper tuning Premium
A few controls go further for members and are marked with a Premium tag in the app:
- Overnight temperature band
- Plan around a comfortable low/high for each night, not just distance.
- Per-day overrides
- Cap an individual day’s drive, distance, or required stops independently of the rest.
- Weather & map overlays
- Lay the forecast — or public land — over the route. See Weather & map overlays.
