| 2008-01-14 | Changes:- Name changed from "Trip Planner" to "En Route." ("Trip Planner" was too generic.)

| 2008-01-11 | Changes:- More options for the walking/time trade-off ("pedestrian weight"). Times and walking distances for alternative trips are computed in the background and shown under each option on the search form as they are found. The default pedestrian weight has been changed from 1.5 to 3, to give more favor to riding a bus than was done previously.
- Corrected a mistake in the Help page, regarding how trip planner picks whether to ride the bus or walk.
- More landmarks.

| 2007-12-31 | New features:- Landmarks: you can finally enter "plaza" or "airport." Or browse a menu of places-of-interest in Spokane.
- City qualification: There's a few "117 N. Washington"s in Spokane County: one in Spokane, one in Medical Lake, and one in Deer Park. Trip Planner now recognizes when an address or intersection matches in more than one city and asks you which one you meant. Tack the city on at the end to express the exact location on your first try.
