In Trip Planner can I edit the max driving time in a generated trip and recalculate?
Former Member
I use Trip Planner to plan the legs of routes, I guess at the number of days and max hours per day to try to get even days of driving since trip planner seems to max out the driving hours each day instead of splitting evenly). If I guess wrong (for example specify too short max hours so I end up with an extra short day -- sometimes trip planner will max out the first couple of driving days and leave me with a 2 hour leg on the last day) I have to generate a whole new trip. Is there a way to be able to go into the generated trip and change the max number of hours per day and have the trip recalculated with the new information? Thanks
At the moment, this is not possible. Max driving is supposed to be basically an estimate. You can however edit your last day by removing it, and perhaps tacking on your arrival point to the day before (which would now be your last day). The max driving times are simply for route calculations as a general guideline. After that you should have full control of the day within trip planner. Does this help?
I know that improvements to Trip Planner are planned. I am expecting that we will review all of the forum posts regarding trip planner and we will be taking these into consideration. Thanks for the feedback.
