WheelingTrips
Free forever for solo trips · No credit card to start

The group off-road trip planner that does the math. Plan better, wheel more.

Stop planning trips in a group chat. One shared map with the route, fuel cost per rig, and lodging for your whole crew.

Start planning free See how it works

Built by wheelers, for wheelers.

From rock-crawling Moab to overlanding the Owyhee Mountains, or a family trip to the Wisconsin Dells. Every feature here exists because we needed it on a real trip.

How it works

Three steps from group text to GPX.

No project-management vibes. Just the three things you have to do once per trip.

  1. STEP 01

    Create a trip and add segments

    Name it, pick dates, link your rig from the garage. Break the route into travel days and basecamp days. Each one is its own colored segment.

  2. STEP 02

    Drop waypoints, invite buddies

    Click the map to add stops. Send a buddy invite with view, edit, or create permissions. They see the same plan you do.

  3. STEP 03

    Hit the road

    Export GPX to onX or Gaia, share a read-only link with the WhatsApp thread, and start driving. We did the math before you left the driveway.

Features

Built for the way trips actually work.

Not one giant polyline. Not a generic itinerary tool. Specific things, done right.

Moab Basecamp → Trailheads
43.6 mi
Routes & basecamps

Drive routes and basecamp loops, modeled separately.

DSM to Moab is a drive route. Three nights at the same AirBNB with daily 4x4 itinerary is a basecamp. No polyline math, just a hub with activities dated inside the stay window. Each segment gets its own color, its own row, and you can reorder or compare variants without losing your work.

  • Basecamp routes for hub-and-spoke days
  • Per-activity Day picker bounded to the stay window
  • Unique color per segment, reorder without losing waypoints
Fuel cost + refuel stops

Know the cost, and where you'll fill up.

Link your rig from the garage and we walk your route: total miles, gallons, dollars, and suggested refuel stops. Each buddy sees the cost on their own rig, not the planner's, so the V8 and the 2.0 Turbo both see honest numbers. We find real gas stations along the way and pace them to the thirstiest rig's range, so nobody in the convoy runs dry.

  • Uses each driver's actual rig MPG + tank
  • Suggested refuel stops on real gas stations, paced to the shortest-range rig, one-click added as pit stops
  • Per-viewer fuel chip + per-trip price overrides (EIA national average default)

Wheeling buddies

A single source of truth for the group.

Invite your buddies. Pick view, edit, create, or delete access for each one. Spouses and kids count too. Buddies declare guest count, and the trip header chips show "N people · M vehicles" so you know how many you're feeding and how many rigs are rolling.

Your buddies ride along free. No paid plan needed to join. Only the planner pays for the group features, and anyone who just wants to look gets a read-only link, no account.

  • Per-buddy permission tiers (view / edit / create / delete)
  • Guest count per buddy + vehicle chips on the trip header
  • Revocable read-only share links. Buddies show as "First L."
  • Passkey login + 2FA TOTP on every account
Lodging coordination

Add the AirBNB. Buddies tag empty beds. Done.

Any member can add a stay. Campground, AirBNB, friend's couch. The card shows "Sleeps N · M beds available" and other buddies can tag along on the empty beds without a back-and-forth in the group text. One stay can cover multiple consecutive nights for basecamp trips.

  • Any buddy can add a stay; capacity is informational
  • "Tag along" CTA when beds remain. Extra guests welcome
  • Multi-night stays for basecamp trips, mapped on the trip view
  • Split a rental or campground: assign rooms, beds, or campsites and see who owes the booker*

*Cost splitting, room/bed assignments, and parking require a paid plan. Adding lodging and tagging along are always free.

  • Who's bringing the compressor? Resolved
Trip discussion board

All the trip chatter, tagged and resolvable.

Not Slack. Not WhatsApp. A focused discussion tab right on the trip page. Every message gets a tag (Logistics, Gear, Trail, Food, Lodging, Vehicle), and answered threads get marked resolved and disappear from the feed. "Who's bringing the compressor?" stops being asked four times.

  • Tagged messages. Filter by Logistics, Gear, Trail, and more
  • Resolve threads to declutter; mute the ones you don't need
  • Optionally pin to a waypoint or activity. Context stays put
Garage

Your rig knows the math.

Park your rig once: MPG, tank, aux tank, fuel type. Every trip inherits the math, and old trips keep the right numbers for the rig that was on them, even after you sell it and build a new one.

  • MPG, tank, aux tank, fuel type
  • Per-trip rig + trail-rig assignment for tow setups
  • Historical numbers stay accurate

My Gear & portable trips

Your kit, every trip. Plus take it with you.

Catalog your recovery gear, kitchen, and electronics once, then claim what you're bringing per trip. See what your buddies have so nobody packs two compressors.

  • Personal catalog, categorized; "I'm bringing this" per trip
  • GPX export of the route + waypoints for onX / Gaia / Garmin
  • Trip JSON import/export for lossless round-trip portability
Meal Plan

Plan meals, roll up to one shopping list.*

Build a day-by-day meal plan from recipes that know their ingredients. The shopping list rolls up automatically. Four recipes calling for 1 tsp, 1 tbsp, 1/4 cup, and 1/2 tsp of salt become a single line on the list with the total. Check items off live as you shop, or email the list to whoever's grocery-bound. Buddies flag dietary preferences (vegetarian, steak temperature, skip breakfast) so the planner doesn't double-cook, and the grocery total splits evenly across the crew.

  • Recipes → ingredients → automatic shopping list with unit-aware totals
  • Live checklist while shopping; export or email to the grocery runner
  • Buddy preferences plus even-split grocery cost so everyone sees their share

*Meal planning requires a paid plan. Buddies can view the plan and help check off the shopping list for free.

Whether you're in Vancouver or Vegas, the units speak your language.

Vancouver rolls on kilometers and Celsius; Vegas runs on freedom units. Pick your units, temperature, and date format once on your profile, and every trip page renders accordingly.

Heads-up on money: we're a US shop, so subscription pricing is billed in USD. Fuel price defaults to $/gal (the EIA national average), and Canadian planners can override to $/L per trip. The math handles the rest.

Privacy

Your trips, your call.

Plain answer: trips are private until you say otherwise. We pass routing data to a mapping provider and payments to a payment processor. That's it. No advertisers, no analytics middlemen, no resale.

Read the full privacy policy

  • Private by default

    A new trip is visible only to you. Three-tier visibility: planners see everything, buddies see full names plus whatever contact fields each member opts in to share, and public share-link viewers only ever see "First L.". No emails, no contact info, no avatars beyond initials.

  • Public share links are opt-in and revocable

    When you generate a share link, viewers see the route read-only and your buddies appear as "First L.". No emails, no contact info. Kill the link anytime from the trip page.

  • No tracking, no marketing email

    No third-party analytics, no advertising pixels, no cross-site tracking. The only email you'll get from us is the kind you'd actually want: verify your email, a buddy invited you, your payment went through.

FAQ

Questions, before you sign up.

Yes. The Lone Wolf never asks for a credit card. You can plan up to two active trips at a time, with a six-month planning horizon and one buddy per trip. The Overlander lifts every limit and unlocks the higher-cost features.
The Lone Wolf covers solo planning and two-buddy trips with the fuel-cost estimator. The Overlander unlocks 10 trips and 25 buddies, the fuel-cost calculator, GPX and trip-JSON export, the trip discussion board on busy crews, and the rest of the paid feature list. Current pricing is on the pricing page.
You send each buddy a per-trip invite with the permission tier you choose: view, edit, create, or delete. Trip deletion always stays with the planner.
Yes. Each buddy can set a guest count on their trip membership, spouse, kids, the friend who's just along for the ride. The trip header chip shows 'N people · M vehicles' so you know how many you're feeding and how many rigs are rolling. Guests also count against lodging beds when a buddy tags along on a stay.
Generate a read-only share link from the trip. It's revocable. People with the link see the route, the itinerary, the segments, and your crew shown as 'First L.', no email addresses, no contact info, no permission badges. Public shared trips are noindex by default so they don't get cached in search engines after you revoke them.
Yes, The Overlander plan exports the full route and waypoints as GPX, which onX, Gaia, and Garmin all import natively. You can also export the entire trip as JSON (lossless round-trip), useful for moving a trip between accounts or backing it up.
Use the discussion board right on the trip page. Every message gets a tag (Logistics, Gear, Trail, Food, Lodging, Vehicle), and answered threads can be marked resolved so they drop out of the default view. You can pin a message to a specific waypoint or activity, 'On Hell's Revenge:' chatter stays with Hell's Revenge.
Privacy is the default. Trips are private until you invite a buddy or generate a share link. The planner sees full contact info; buddies see each other's full names plus whatever contact fields each member opts in to share; public viewers only ever see 'First L.' Share links are revocable. We never publish your trips or sell your data.
We pass payment data to Stripe and routing data to Mapbox, those are the only third parties that see anything you create. No advertising networks, no analytics middlemen, no data resale. The full breakdown lives in the privacy policy linked from the footer.
No. We only send transactional email, verify your address, password reset, a buddy invited you to a trip, your payment went through. No newsletters, no upsell drip campaigns, no 'we miss you' nags.
We use your rig's actual MPG and tank size from the Garage, walk your route polyline for the mileage, and apply either the per-trip price you set or the EIA weekly US national average as the default. Each buddy sees the cost on their own rig — the V8 driver and the diesel driver see different numbers on the same trip.

Plan your next trip in minutes.
