About TravelSkoot

TravelSkoot is a website that allows you to plan a single day's adventure, a historical tour, map out your favorite places, or a full week's vacation by simply plotting points on the map!

Be it a rigidly scheduled pub-crawl with friends one night, or a historical walking tour, TravelSkoot provides the tools for you to create your personalized activity.

You can go to a skoot for a city you’ve never been to by searching for skoots created by other users. Use those skoots as they are or go ahead and edit a previously created skoot from another user.

Have guests coming to town? Create a skoot for them with the best place for coffee in the morning, the way to shops, and a place for a little lunch so they can get around while you’re at work.

What’s more, skoots can be viewed on WAP enabled phones on your mobile browser for easy access when you’re on the streets.

Skoot Features

  1. Build point-to-point skoots based on your needs or interests.
  2. Copy and modify skoots from other users in order to personalize a skoot to your interests. For example, copy a skoot of someone’s favorite burger places and edit it by deleting points you're not interested in and adding in locations around that area you would like to visit.
  3. If you have more than one point, TravelSkoot automatically generates driving directions between points.
  4. Send skoots to a friend through email, or a mobile phone if you have a mobile browser.

How can I use TravelSkoot.com?

  1. Traveling to a new city?
    Search and see what skoots other people have made for inspiration. If you already know your plans, plot out your trip to cover a day of sightseeing, or places to eat and shop near your hotel.

  2. City Exploration
    Locals can create a skoot for a day of errands, or a part of the city they’d like to explore. Maybe you’re a history buff who would like to share your knowledge or a certain neighborhood with others.

    Why are there no skoots for my city?
    Skoots were made in some of the larger cities in the US but not all. This is where you can show off your knowledge by creating skoots for your city or make ones for places you've traveled to. This will offer others plenty to choose from when creating their own skoots.

    Will all my content be public?
    You have the option to keep your skoot private and only share the skoot with people you choose (through the email to a friend tool). To do this, select “private” in the Info tab when you are creating your skoot. A skoot can go from private to public but NOT from public to private.

    Can I do a cross-country skoot?
    Sure. Skoots can be created for any adventure you wish to take!

    If I copy a skoot do I have to rename it?
    It would be helpful if you renamed the skoot you are copying, otherwise the skoot will display as “Copy of…” and we bet you can be more creative than that.

    Do I have to have an account to use TravelSkoot?
    No. You are free to browse and use the skoots that are public. You will need to register for an account if you want to build your own skoot, or revise a skoot to fit your needs, otherwise it cannot be saved.

    Can I send my skoot to someone who does not have a log in?
    Yes. Skoots can be emailed to anyone even if they do not have an account.
