Tripomatic, the Czech Republic based trip planning service has just announced a major update. They have released the third generation of Tripomatic trip planner which comes with a host of new features and improved interface. With this new update, it has taken a shift towards a map driven approach to enhance the user experience.
Developing content and algorithms for such a service isn’t an easy job and it serves as a barrier to entry in this segment. Despite this, we have seen many Trip Planning services enter the market in past few years with very little to differentiate between them. With so much competition in sight, Tripomatic tries to have an edge over others with this update.
