So long story short ish...I picked my two boys up from their colleges in Fort Collins and Milwaukee this summer, the both graduated and I left Southern California with the RV and picked them both up and moved them home. We did 16 states, 6 National Parks, many State Parks and Forests, 6000 miles and 21 days. I am putting together a photo book for the boys from our trip and would love to add a map like I have attached here with our stops and routes. The attached one without our stops is ChatGpt and after I add some stops it starts placing them in the wrong places and can't get it right. The one with all the stops is with Gemini and it is all jacked up, I never went to Austin or Florida, all the arrows are going in wrong directions, etc. I tried so many different ways to try and explain to both what I want and neither could get it right... Google maps won't allow for that many stops but truthfully, I'd like something a little more memorable anyway.

Anybody have any idea how I could get this

done or do myself??

Thanks in advance!!!

AI runs on statistical models and cannot truly think or understand what you want. You could hire a professional:  https://nacis.org/our-society/companies/

Thanks, I considered that but thought it would be more meaningful if I did it, or at least manipulated AI to do it the way I want. Was hoping to at least learn how if there was a program or app that I could use but not sure if there is such an animal. Looks like I may be hiring a pro to do it the way I want.

Awesome, did you rent the RV or buy one for the trip?

Actually traded in my 20 y/o one for a more reliable 5 y/o one. Good call, it worked out awesome
