Hi,

My wife and I have a list of places that we'd like to visit and occasionally we realize too late that we were near one of them and missed it.

Is there an app (preferably Android) that will allow us to enter a list of places that we'd like to visit and tell us when we are near any of them (ideally triggers based on time and distance, but only one would be OK). Bonus points for import/export functionality.

Thanks!
Jeff

I like that idea, just load the 63 National Parks, Monuments and such, of course you're still going to see places while you travel that sound interesting to you, "Hey, Lets Stop and see that".

If there’s not, there should be. Sounds like an opportunity. Would be a great thing to have, not just for RVers but for any travelers.
