Trip Boss 2.0 Completely Redesigns Itinerary Module, Enhances Overall Usability

Bartlett, IL--Creative Algorithms, developer of award-winning Trip Boss(TM) travel manager, is pleased to announce the release of Trip Boss 2.0. Trip Boss 2.0 completely redesigns the itinerary module and enhances overall usability throughout the application—all based on valuable customer feedback. Plan itineraries, track expenses, log mileage, budget vacations, keep a journal, rate places and more with this essential travel manager for Palm OS®-based handhelds and smartphones.

Expanded Itinerary Entry
New common custom itinerary entry screens have been created, complete with additional applicable fields. Much of the new data can be now selected by only a few taps or via the 5-way navigation, essential for one-handed use on Palm® Treo(TM) smartphones. Arrival and departure entries have been conveniently combined into one entry screen, with pick lists of 300+ default places including airports, airlines, car rental agencies, and hotels. Trip Boss' flexibility remains intact as the original, flexible itinerary screen is still an option for capturing those less common itinerary items. Much of the enhancements to the entry screens will surprise and delight the user. "Trip Boss 2.0 is a great example of the types of versatile solutions that are enabled by the flexible and open Palm OS® platform," said Larry Berkin, senior director of Ecosystem and Strategic Alliances at PalmSource. "This application is designed to help all travelers use their Palm Powered (TM) device to help effectively manage all the logistics involved in planning and taking trips."

Redesign of the Itinerary List Layout and Navigation
The new itinerary list is designed to make it easy to find the next item on your destination. Easy to find icons, date headings, and a filter allow a quick overview of the trip itineraries. The description of each item can be customized to show up to three fields of the user's choosing for each type of itinerary. Check off items as they are completed and tap on added controls to quickly find the next step of travel for the day. The current date/time is conveniently displayed on the itinerary screen so the user has the option to leave Trip Boss open as the travel day progresses. Additional wording has been added in exports to the Calendar and 2.0 is backward compatible with older itineraries.

Overall Enhancements throughout Trip Boss
Trip Boss 2.0 improves navigation in all tabbed modules. Simply tap on an item in the list instead the two-step operation of selecting and then tapping a second details button. Scroll through the list and select with ease, using the 5-way navigation. In addition to enhancements to the 5-way navigation, responsiveness when switching forms has improved, as well as speed and usability when scrolling tables and importing contacts.

Add, edit, and find places with ease via the Ratings module. The places database is now presented in a convenient filtered list. Enter the first letter to quickly locate a place or place type.

Expense form layout has been improved as well as the addition of new feature to lock the fields to prevent accidental editing. Notes have also included in the export to Memo via CSV.
