Spreadsheets count hours. Maps show whether those hours are humane.
Spreadsheets are excellent at lying politely. They will accept an eight-hour mountain day next to a ‘light museum afternoon’ without blinking.
Map-first planning surfaces the truth: switchbacks, ferry gaps, one-way coastal segments and the hotel that is technically 90 minutes away — on paper — but over a pass.
When you reorder stops in RoadPlan Studio, route math updates with the canvas. That feedback loop is the product. It is also how you stop arguing from vibes.
Use the spreadsheet afterward if you want a budget rollup. Build the trip on the map.
