How to get the most out of WheelingTrips

WheelingTrips does more than draw a line on a map. Here are the things that earn their keep on a real trip.

Build the trip in segments

Don't cram a week into one route. Make a segment for each leg: the drive out, the basecamp days, the drive home. Each gets its own days and color, so the plan reads the way the trip actually runs.

Add your rigs to the garage

Put each vehicle's MPG and tank size in the garage once. Now every route shows honest fuel numbers per rig, and you know which truck sets the range for the group.

Let the fuel math do the work

Every leg shows gallons and cost per vehicle at current prices. Use it to plan refuel stops before a long dirt section, not after you're already low.

Invite your crew

Share the trip and your buddies ride along free. They see the same route, lodging, and stops you do, and the plan updates for everyone at once.

Claim beds and stops

Basecamping? Drop the rental on the plan and let people claim beds. Add waypoints for trailheads, fuel, and food so nobody's guessing at 6 a.m.

Export to your nav app

When the plan's set, export the route as GPX and load it into onX Offroad or Gaia GPS for turn-by-turn offline. Plan here, navigate there.

Do these five things and the app goes from "a map" to "the plan the whole group runs off of."
