Trip Planning

Trip Schedule & Description

Pin the Trip

You can change all of your trip’s vital statistics - its title, description, and schedule - at any time. Plan trips on Virtual Earth with road and aerial view. Comment stops, route and optimize by Weather or length.

Security

Easy TripPage Designer

OnTheRoad keeps your information secure, and only you decide who you want to share it with. You can also choose to create an optional short Personal Information Number (PIN) for your account. If you do so, only messages (SMS, MMS, and email) that include the PIN will be added to your TripBook. You can even assign different PINs to different email address or phone numbers. Use OnTheRoad’s easy TripPage designer to make a new page for each trip in your TripBook. Going to Africa? Use the built-in 'Africa' template or easily create a new look.

The OnTheRoad TripBook

Your TripBook is the place where all your travel content such as trips, articles, media and comments, is stored. When you signup, your brand new TripBook gets created at your new personal web address, which looks like this: user.ontheroad.to. Every trip added to your TripBook will get its own URL as well: user.ontheroad.to/tripname. Not surprisingly, we call the page for each trip a TripPage. Your TripBook can have as many TripPages as you want and each of them can be customized by a different skin. Don’t let anything hold you back. Let your imagination soar.

Map Autopin

Local Weather

Some phones and cameras automatically add location information (e.g., GPS) to items they create. OnTheRoad can automatically pin those items to the right location on a map. If your device doesn’t add a location, just include the name of a town or landmark (a mountain, lake or monument). OnTheRoad will look it up and mark it on the map. Every OnTheRoad map lets you quickly see the local weather of a spot you select. If you created a schedule, your TripBook will even keep a record of the weather on your trip!

Drag 'n Drop Sorting

Articles & Comments

OnTheRoad automatically sorts everything according to the time it’s received, but you can easily sort and display items in any order that suits you. Each message you send from a mobile number, or email account you’ve enabled becomes an article on a TripPage. Though articles are listed in the order they’re received, you can easily change their order, date and visibility, or edit them. Each piece of media (e.g., video, photo, audio), becomes an article too. Readers of your TripBook can add comments, and ratings are coming soon.

2-way Communication

Your friends and family may want to get in touch with you while you’re traveling. They may want to send you a comment on a brilliant observation or beautiful picture in your TripBook. OnTheRoad makes that easy for them. Every time they will comment on your trip, you will receive an email notification about a new comment. If you reply to their comment, they will receive an email as well. They can also subscribe to your trip, so they will receive email notification every time you will post something new.
