Google Maps Integration and Other New Features

As informed in the previous post, today we are excited to announce the release of some more cool features to make your trip logging experience even better. We redesigned the trip home page to show as much information as possible in a simple and organized way which will help travellers to plan trips effectively.

We tuned the interface where you enter your trip details, so that the information is more organized and can be leveraged by other travellers planning their trips.

Route details – Google Maps Integration

Now you can map your trips and let others know how did you travel!

Create a route for your trip by adding destinations, mode of transport and travel time in our easy to use interface. Also, include any stops in between for break journeys.

If you are not sure about any place, you can verify it on Google Maps by just clicking on verify map in our auto-suggestions box.

Yes, you add the destinations and we will generate a route for your trip and show it on Google Maps.

Hotels, Restaurants Details

You can write the hotel/restaurant reviews, rate them and give their contact information so that it helps future travellers. If you have stayed at multiple hotels in multiple destinations, you can write reviews about each one of them individually. Other trip members can also give their opinion/reviews by commenting on the hotels/restaurants.

Budget and other suggestions

Write about the expenses and approximate budget for the trip. Also you can suggest must visit places and thing one must do during this trip. Let your experiences help others, write some suggestions like things to carry, best time to visit etc.

Trip Sharing on Social Networks

Earlier we had given you option to share your trips on Twitter and Facebook, Now you can share and promote your trips on Orkut as well.

We are continuously working on new features and improving existing features. Please provide your valuable feedback, suggestions on these features and help us improve even more.
