Have You Tried AI Trip Planners? Worth It?

[hannesxprins]

So, has anyone given AI trip planners a go? I’m wondering if they’re any good. A while back, I planned a hiking trip, but I misjudged the drive time and missed sunset at the peak. Total bummer! Could an AI have helped me time it better? Thoughts? (78 words)

Dude, missing the sunset sucks! I’ve actually used AI trip planners, and they’re pretty solid for stuff like that. I found one at letstrip when I was searching for weekend getaways near me last fall. It mapped out driving times, stops, everything—super smooth. I ended up at this cool little lake I’d never have found otherwise. If you’re into avoiding hiccups like that, it’s worth trying out. Saved me a ton of stress!

Stumbled across this thread while browsing—haven’t messed with AI planners myself, but I get the appeal. I usually just toss some snacks in a bag and hit the road. Last month, I drove out to a random town, found a quirky antique shop, and scored a vintage lamp. Planning’s not really my thing, but I can see how it’d be nice for timing or finding hidden spots. Cool to hear what you all think about it!

Sure, I think AI can help! Missing a sunset is a bummer, like missing a drift in Drift Boss and falling off the track. AI is better at processing travel time and sunset time data than we are, helping you time it perfectly. Give it a try, maybe your next drift will be as smooth as you want it to be!

The AI can fall into tourist trap territory. Think “Eiffel Tower” and “Times Square” type of recommendations. If you're looking for hidden gems, you may still need a human touch (or your own research). Many tools don’t yet account for seasonal closures, changing opening hours, or local events. So always double-check.

I used to gamble on where to stop for gas or a rest break, but not anymore. With Trucker Guide app , I can mark at map gas stations, rest areas, truck stops, and even restaurants that cater to drivers like me. No more last-minute stress or wasting time backtracking because I missed a decent stop.
