If you planning a vacation a good tool is Google Maps especially if you are planning a group trip.  With Google’s My Maps function you can create your own map with locations that you would like to visit.  You can even use My Maps to collaborate on attractions to visit. You can send an invention to another person in your travel party to edit your map.  Now they will also be able to plot locations of interest on the travel map. Allowing everyone to see where everything is an more information about each location.  Which should make it a snap in planning daily itineraries.

We are planning a possible trip Chattanooga Tennessee this summer with my In Laws.  We have located several places that we would like to go to and add them to our map with extra information like a links to the official site, Wikipedia, and photos on Flickr.  Then we can email a link to that map so they can see some of the places we have found.  Below is a the map for Chattanooga which is currently in progress. You can click the markers for more information.

The nice thing about the map is you can plot those places that look great and claim to be in the area that you are staying but are really and hour or more away.  You may find more attractions in that area so you can plan a day to visit them or alter your plans a little to stay in a centralized location to all of the locations you want to take in.
