How do I create a trip?

To get started creating a trip:

First, click on the Trip Planner button at the top or middle of the page.

Then, at the top of the page, select either "Custom Trip" or "GenieJourney."  "Custom Trip" means that you create your trip by adding stops you want to make.  "GenieJourney" uses AI and Natural Language processing to help you create a trip by adding a brief description of what you want.

If you select "Custom Trip," follow these steps: 

1.  Add any destinations you definitely want to go to (including starting and ending points).

2. Under "Routing Options," find "Average Miles."

3. Under "Average Miles," enter the maximum driving distance you prefer to drive each day.

4.  Press the Create Trip button. 

5.  Your trip will appear.  You may see some auto-generated stops (based on your desired Average Daily Distance) called GenieStops. 

If you select "Personal Genie" follow these steps:

1. First, check out the "Example Searches" on the lower half of the page.  Click on "View Trip" to see the trip created by the "Example Searches."

2. Now, create your own trip description using the same style description as the "Example Searches" and then press enter or "Create Trip."

3. Your trip will appear.  You may see some auto-generated stops (based on your desired your Average Daily Distance) called GenieStops. 

4. Watch this instructional video for a better understanding of creating a trip with Personal Genie.
