good PDA software for travel

lindacarol · 10-05-2003, 08:06 PM

I've been using TravelTracker by Silverware on my Palm PDA for a year or so and it's been great. Lets me put in my itineraries in detail including flights, car and train info, hotels, events, meetings and notes. Spaces for confirmations #s, seat assignments, etc. It can track multiple trips. If I need to know what date I was in a particular place, I just look in my list of trips. Here's a link:

They also have desktop versions to sync with your Windows or Mac computer but I've only needed the PDA version.

I used TravelTracker religiously back when I still carried my PalmVx around with me. I stopped using it because I realized that I was not getting sufficient benefit from using it to justify the time I'd spend entering all my travel details into the program.

I never spent the extra money on the pc conduit component, so the data was only available and editable to be on the Palm device itself, which made data entry very tedious.

I haven't used it in over a year.

I haven't used it in a couple years, either. I bought the PC version but found it to be of poor quality. I also felt that the entry process was far too difficult, so I'd spend way too long entering in data and rarely refer to it.

Ticket receipt on paper is far more convenient.

I just found out that our corporate travel has an Avantgo channel. I created an account, and now everytime I sync Avantgo, it downloads my trip itins. Fantastic. I'm definitely too lazy to manually enter trips into my Palm though.
