Here's a do-it-yourself travel-guide app and website that have promise. But will the operators hurry up and develop more cities and itineraries?
Name: http://www.tripomatic.com
Available for: iPhone, iPodtouch and iPad
What it does: Helps you plan a day-by-day trip itinerary
Cost: Free
What's hot: I love the idea of making a day-by-day itinerary and then downloading it as a PDF when I'm done, as well as being able to access it from my smartphone or iPad. But after testing the app on my iPad, and also checking out the website, the latter is the way to start. Go to the home page on the website and look for a suggested trip plan such as "3 Day Trip to San Francisco" or "Paris in One Day" and click on the Modify Trip Now button to make it your own. Once you're done modifying an itinerary, use the Add Your Own button to place specific restaurants, shops, or addresses on your map and itinerary. The end result, as a PDF, is beautiful and booklike.
