Hi, it's Greg. I have created an application that calculates the best route to visit all places that I have planned. This app will calculate the route based on the user's input. You can choose up to 10 waypoints on your way. The application will calculate the best route and will give you the detailed description of each step of your road trip. Also, you will see the total duration of the trip and total distance that you will travel during the trip. This app can be also used to calculate the daily miles driven if you want to deduct some of your income for travel.
Side feature of the app is to show your current location. This will only work if you agree to share your location in the browser.
#! Important note: due to newest Google policies, geolocation and route guidance services will only work from the secure origin. So in order for app to work, make sure you visit https://roadtrip-pal.herokuapp.com/index (with HTTPS only).
