Add end/departure dates for multi-day stops

Leslie LeBlanc

I would like to see be able to add an end date for staying at a location.

Local Events Included in Total Mileage as an option

Jason92054

I would like a better idea of the total miles I have planned. I have many stops not included in the route since it is just a round trip from an actual waypoint. Another words, I am spending 1-2 weeks at each waypoint doing various things. I would like to add these activities (multiple events on a day) so that it calculates the mileage, including returning to the last waypoint.

Currently the only way to do this is to include in route and enter your hotel spot again at the end of the day so that it adds the mileage for that day to your route. This blows up the waypoint count.

100% agree! When travelling I'll stay in one place as a 'hub' and travel about the area for a few days. As it is, I have to add my lodging to every single day to get around the limitation.

I feel it's important to have the ability to have a waypoint with multiple days. All of my trips are not just one-night stays! On the details panel of the waypoint there is an "Arrival Date" field that is editable, why not have a departure date field also. It can default to the next day but editable if needed.

Implement Multiple Nights. Would afford the user the ability to specify the quantity of nights or hours they intend to spend at a specific STOP. Additionally, a checkbox that initiates the "OVERNIGHT" option for a specific location, thereby extending your stay to the following day (or days).

Yes, I completely agree. This would be a great addition.

Stays for more than one night

Ulrike Strenge

I'm missing a feature to be able to enter stays for more than one night, like it was possible long time ago with Streets&Trips. That would make it much more easier to plan and schedule the whole trip.

And have dates auto-adjust if the end date overlaps. If I add dates manually, and then later decide that we’re going to spend 2 days at a waypoint rather than just 1, it’ painful to have to manually adjust dates in each following waypoint.

Geez, it’s like the UI designers have never taken a roadtrip before. 🤦‍♀️

Multiple days at waypoints

Tammy Boyer

I’d like to be able to change dates or enter multiple days at a waypoint (like older versions). Currently, I have to enter the same waypoint multiple time…if you stay a week somewhere, I have to enter it 7 times. Am I missing something?

Hi Tammy Boyer The dates in our trip planner are currently built to reflect when you arrive, not necessarily the duration of time you’ll be at a place. While we didn't support departure dates or duration previously either, it may be more noticeable now that you can see the empty dates within your itinerary.

Having the ability to set a waypoint for more than one day or to set both arrival and departure dates is something that's on our radar and until then, we recommend using the Notes section to indicate how many days you'll be there.
