Slightly O/T tip: I do realize piracy is a scourge for developers AND customers, but I must say I was surprised at a three-hundred and ninety-seven character serial. My little password manager wouldn't take a copy/paste for some reason. In case other customers hit this snag: I was able to DRAG the text into the field successfully!

Being able to enter in directions to where you are going and save that information would be important.
There is an area of "unscheduled events" but no area for "scheduled events"! That would be something obvious to include. And perhaps the most obvious thing to include would be to sync the information to your device so that you could take it on your trip with you.

Perhaps it's just me, though. The other features of Knapsack are good, it's just that the mapping feature is a really big deal for me.

"This version no longer uses Google Maps. Unfortunately Google has decided to start charging disproportionate fees for our use of their services. Rather than burden our users with a monthly use fee, we have decided to move to cheaper CloudMade solution and swallow the cost ourselves. This affects only the Map Inspector and Map Geocoding features. Integration with Google Earth remains available for geocoding photos from satellite imagery."

I suspected as much, but it is still a major disappointment. I'd be willing to pay extra for a Google Maps interface, but probably not many others would.
Oh well…

Until this app is able to show detail in its maps, using Google Maps without pixelation, this will remain a so-so application. Everything else is good and I would love to buy it, but I refuse to when the map section is so extremely bad.

I'm aware of the need to improve the mapping features in Knapsack and am researching solutions.

Spend a bit extra and buy iWork ‘09. Numbers has a nice little template for travel information that is way easier to navigate. You can always add whatever notes and journal information you desire. If you want map info, you can add url links to your favorite map site. It prints up much nicer than Knapsack, too, where the notes come out in gray and difficult to read... Plus, if you buy iWork, you get Pages and Keynote!
I'll keep an eye on this app, hoping that they'll release something that is more intuitive and with a nicer, more navigable mapping system like Google Earth. But for now, I'll take a pass.

I really like the concept and believe this has great potential however a few things are a bit maddening to me:
1) No detail in the closest zoom of maps (everything is too pixelated) making pin placement very arbitrary. I have to search the exact coordinates of each place in order to make sure the pin is placed correctly. It would be very nice if this feature used Google Earth technology to make pin placement much quicker and easier. Even having a search function of map coordinates would be better than what is currently in place.
2) Adding notes to itinerary items can be confusing in that a carriage return is not as simple as hitting “return” but you have to enter “control-return”. Trial and error gave me that one. Plus I can only see one line at a time when adding notes. Why is this?
3) The price seems a bit steep to me. The GUI is nice and all that, but some of the input methods are just not all that Mac-intuitive to me.
I'm not sure I'll buy this. I am currently planning a trip overseas and will see how well this does it.

2. Expensive.
3. I have had a couple of blowups already
but it is a new release of something that doesn't exist anywhere else to my knowledge so I am more willing to put up with it.
4. Web site doesn't have a forum. It needs one for proper feedback. Blogs are ok for announcing info but a forum makes or breaks it.

Extra Note: this app has a very cool icon. :)
