Set own starting point

Your way of doing the starting point makes it so I have to reset it everytime a do a trip. Request you set the system to allow you to set the point so that it is you choice of the starting point rather than using the closest server like you are doing now. It will always be incorrect for most people.

How about SAVING your starting point, as a default, so it doesn't automatically start you 180 miles across the state. That's was my issue. I've had MANY emails w/RTer's regarding this, they they told me it couldn't be done. So I cancelled my membership. We've been retired for 20 years and we travel a lot. I used RTer's and I just got tired of the hassle of deleting THEIR starting point, and being forced to type in MY starting point EVERY TIME. I've been web-savvy for a while, and it doesn't seem all that difficult to make a change to allow a user to SAVE their starting point, and have THAT as the default. When that changes, I "may" come back. BTW, many of my friends, and fellow travellers have the same issue. (sorry for the rant, but this went on for a couple of years for me)

Greg Heinz: Hey there! Once you save your home address, it will be automatically used as your starting point for all future trips. This is an update we just released yesterday, so it's hot off the press!
Feel free to get in touch with us at support@roadtrippers.com if you give it a try and have any issues!

Steph Z thanks, Steph. I'll check it out. Frankly, I've missed RTer's. Google is ok, but RT is better.

You can now save your home address in Roadtrippers to make starting your trip even easier!
The next time you start a trip, you'll be asked to provide your starting point rather than the planner trying to detect your current location. If you enter a street address as the starting point, you'll be asked if you'd like to save it as your home address for easy future use.
You can learn more about saving a home address here: https://support.roadtrippers.com/hc/en-us/articles/31077837395604
