Trippish is a new service that allows you to enter in a starting point and a destination — just like Google Maps, Yahoo, and Mapquest — and it will spit out the driving directions. This one has a leg up on the big boys, however — Trippish will also provide the weather conditions along points on your route, depending on the departure time you specify.
Once you get your directions and weather predictions, it also gives you the option of asking the system whether or not this is the best time to leave for this trip. Since my girlfriend is driving to St. Louis today, I decided to use her trip as a guinea pig:
Springfield, MO to St. Louis, departing today at 2:00 PM. The weather is good (although I just looked outside and it’s freakin’ snowing. Two days ago I had on short-sleeves.) both here and in St. Louis, and everywhere along the way, so Trippish didn’t recommend a different departure time. She’s good to go.
The site is in beta, and there’s still some bugs and missing features, but it’s an interesting service that could definitely come in handy in the future. Check it out.
