The best feature, in my opinion, is that the TripIt calendar is time zone independent, meaning that the calendar feed will always show up in terms of the time zone that your phone/calendar app is currently using. It is separate from MobileMe, Google or whatever calendar server you prefer, though you can usually set up your web calendar to automatically display TripIt events alongside your own calendar events. TripIt's server generates an iCal feed which you can subscribe to using the iPhone's calendar application. I think its better to maintain your calendar in the cloud rather than trying to do it on one machine, but I suppose that mobile me attempts to do the same thing for those that want to pay for mobile me and keep their calendars locally. And you can even import google calendar, etc into your i using google's ical feed as well. All of those programs and outlook also all support subscribing to an ical feed. But hotels and any other stuff doesn't, so you still need the ical feed in the native calendar apps, and you probably want them in google calendar or in your mac's calendar app anyway. If you are just tracking flights, then tripit stuff of course flows well to the flight track pro app.
Ical app for mac update#
(Some devices/programs update more frequently than others.)
As you update things in tripit, your updates will flow to any device/program that subscribes to that feed. and they have links to "get your ical feed".
They refer to this method as "subscribe to your calendar feed". Tripit has device/program specific instructions. (try to use "automatic" in tripit, when you can, but it's still not perfect. For example, the timezones are sometimes screwed up using this method. I've tried other methods, and that one is the best for me, but none of them are perfect. If the stuff is in tripit, you can just add your tripit calendar to iphone/ipad/mac/google calendars, etc.
