The day before we leave on a trip, I manually use 10-day forecasts from something like weather.com to help figure out what to pack and see if it's worth making scheduling adjustment. I'd like to know what the forecasted weather will be in each of the planned stops. High/low temperature and weather for each stop (we might be at a stop for many hours, so the weather can change), plus forecasts for any "overnight" cities, so we know what to expect while at the hotel/campground/etc.: at arrival time, the overnight conditions, and in the morning at expected departure time.
I'm more concerned about weather during planned stops than "weather on the way".
Something that integrates with https://furkot.com (the best road-trip planning tool ever!) would be great!
One thing that felt a bit tricky: if I want to leave "now" and quickly try different route variations, the departure time becomes outdated almost immediately. A simple "leave now" option could help here. Also would be great to see alternative routes to compare weather differences.
Overall though, super useful tool. I can see myself checking this before longer trips
I live and spend most of my time in cities, so long road trips are some of my bests chances for seeing good stars out in the country.
Would your tool be adaptable to this use case?
Looks good and I like being able to browse the map on a desktop, though for actual travel use the app with CarPlay support obviously has benefits
I also think having a dropdown for the address search is somewhat expected these days, but is lacking here. That might be on purpose or due to a technical limitation, but just thought I'd mention.
Good execution. How accurate it'll be within city
A URL that persists the entered route might be desirable (especially to demo here). Otherwise I'm sure the additional features are endless.
One thing I noticed: when I enter a destination that isn’t drivable like requires a flight, it returns OSRM API Error. Might be worth handling that case more gracefully or showing a clearer message.
