Creating a Calendar from Microsoft Streets & Trips | Google Earth, Maps, and Navigation | Forums

John,

This is something I have been asking Microsoft to do for the past 8 or 9 years. For now, it can't be done. I use two methods to keep track. I create a spreadsheet with the days down column A with the location I am planning to be at on each day in column B and a notation of my reservations in column C.

In the S&T file, I use the rename function to add the date(s) and location as the name of each location along with the number of nights I will spend in each location. Here is an example of the S&T names:

12/31/10 Mesa, AZ – View Point RV and Golf Resort (1 night)

01/01-01/09 Earp, CA – Emerald Cove Resort – RPI – 34.20853°N 114.22413°W (5 nights)

01/10 La Quinta, CA – Walmart (1 night)

01/11-01/15 Indio, CA – FMCA Rally (5 nights)

and here is the spreadsheet for the same period:

David,  Thanks so much for this tip.  I've been downloading my MSST route onto an Excel file (using the MSST function) and then spending a lot of time editing to produce a informative itinerary with dates, confirms, etc.  Your idea is much better.

I also learned recently that you can eliminate via points using rename.  To force MSST to follow the route you want you often have to put in a stop as a via point.  I just use rename and delete the stop name and replace it with a space (using space bar).  Then it doesn't show up!
