Any travel takes planning, whether you are going out of town for work or going on your dream vacation. Flights, hotels, car rentals, train schedules, reward points, decisions on how to get there in the first place…it is a headache. Even experienced travelers often find themselves annoyed with the detail work involved in figuring out an itinerary.
Luckily, there are some really great calculators out there to help you out.
1. Wild Texas
Find out directions, driving distances and all while getting info on parks, wildlife and attractions along the way. Just select your starting point and destination, and it will do the rest for you. They allow you to search via landmarks, which is handy if you want the best route to something specific. They give the example of The Alamo.
2. Map Crow
Put in two cities and states, and find out the distance between them. It will give you the distance in both miles and kilometers, the bearing and a map of the area.
