Please support open jaw trips, and let us insert and edit trip segments.

Please support open jaw trips. Let us create arbitrary multi-segment trips with undefined waypoints and waydates. This also lets us insert and edit arbitrary and ad-hoc trip segments. Sometimes we don't know in advance everywhere a trip can take us.

I’m frustrated

Hi John

Thanks for your feedback. Dopplr is designed around the way that most people travel - return trips to and from one home town. However we are aware that things get much more complicated than that! So thanks for your input. We'll keep it in mind we work on future versions.

I am going on a driving trip starting today, and it would be much easier to plan the trip if I could enter a temporary multi-stop itinerary knowing that I could change it later. Meanwhile, creating a new trip with the changed details and deleting the old one seems to work, so long as you don't have any notes, etc. attached to it.

I’m frustrated but hopeful

Hi John - yes, we're going to add a way to do that type of editing soon. Quite a few people ask for it so it's definitely in our release plan.

Thanks

Celia

Excellent, Celia! Like Voyagerfan5761 mentioned, i could delete and add trips, but only with loss of notes. It also makes my trip feeds confusing.

I second the waydates. Especially for historic trips. I can remember where I've been and approximately when. But often I can't remember exact dates.

Individual8, that's an interesting use-case too, for which http://brightkite.com or http://plazes.com might suit better. Of course, they're all apps for geo-presence. I meant my suggestion in complete compatibility with Dopplr original purpose, to help frequent travelers plan and share their trips and foster coincidences.

Hello, I want to add to the topic, that these "multi-segments" and the editing of trips should also include a "multi-segment" means of transport option!
This means, e.g. I travelled by car around 50% of my route, then drove some hours with an intercity train and then travelled the last nine kilometres via car again. This should be possible to add, so one can achieve a more precise carbon footprint statistic.

I’m confident

You're a smart guy, Phil. Making the carbon footprint calculations more accurate is an excellent idea, and multiple transportation methods sound great!
