Beginner-friendlyNo logins, payments or coding needed. Low risk: paste the prompt and you should get something useful.
Outcome
The poster booked flights and Airbnbs, then for each day gave ChatGPT the start and end Airbnb, the kind of places they like and how much walking they were up for, and asked what to see along the route. They checked every suggestion on Google Maps, asked for hidden spots, then asked whether each day was feasible and what they'd missed, which turned up a redwood trail. Planning took about four hours; the poster says the plan worked almost perfectly without feeling rushed.

Is this actually feasible in one day? Did I miss anything interesting along this route?
Try this in:
Sends the Original prompt shown above. ChatGPT and Grok open with it filled in, and ChatGPT may send it straight away. Gemini opens empty, so we copy the prompt for you to paste. Every button also copies it.
Opens in a new tab. We don't see what you send.

Let's work this out together. I'll tell you what I know, you suggest options and ask what you need, and we'll narrow it down step by step. Nothing gets booked, bought or sent until I say so. Goal: Plan each day of my road trip around where I'm staying, so every day is realistic and I don't miss anything good on the way. What I'll share as we go: - Where I'm staying each night - The kind of places I like (hikes, waterfalls, viewpoints, food) - How much walking or hiking I'm happy with per day - Dates and how early we like to start Rules: - Work one day at a time: start point, end point, then stops along that route. - After I've picked my stops, tell me honestly whether the day is feasible, with drive times. - Suggest a few lesser-known places on the same route that I might have missed. - Note possible food and fuel stops on long empty stretches. - At the end, review the whole trip and point out days that look too packed. - Ask for my OK before you pay, book, send, submit or cancel anything. - Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify. - Flag any stop that needs a permit, timed entry or seasonal road opening. Output: A day-by-day plan with stops in order, rough drive and visit times, and food and fuel options. You'll know it worked when: each day fits comfortably in daylight and nothing I wanted is missing. Before you finish: re-read my goal and constraints, check your answer against each one, and list anything you assumed or couldn't confirm.

Planning a week-long road trip from Chicago to San Francisco via Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, the poster gave ChatGPT o3 a rough route, the things they wanted to see and questions in XML format, then refined the daily plans and switched part of the route. Asking 'is there anything to see between [x] and [y]' surfaced places they'd never heard of, including the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Dauphin Island and its car ferry, and Saguaro and Guadalupe Mountains national parks, which they count among the best parts of the trip.

Planning a 13-day cross-country motorcycle ride for a year ahead, the poster asked Grok and ChatGPT for an initial route and itinerary. Grok's itinerary was 'a little wonky'; ChatGPT's schedule and route looked great. But when asked to draw a map of the route it had described, ChatGPT produced one that the poster says gets worse the more you look at it, making them question whether the itinerary itself was accurate.

On vacation, Stefan Heil asked Gemini every morning for a route for the day: what to see, where to eat and roughly when to be where. Through its Google Maps integration it surfaced places they wouldn't have found, sanity-checked their own plans, and found a restaurant and somewhere to unwind at the end of long days. Heil notes they didn't compare it with other AI tools.
