Hobbyists use PlanetWare to find all the sites related to their hobby. Get listings of all hiking, skiing, coin, ceramics, opera, museum, rail, and other attractions. You do not have to be a computer wizard. PlanetWare is operated by clicking a consistent series of buttons. You only need to type when searching for keywords or when annotating your trip information.
Help is available for each screen and an on-line manual provides overall details.
If you are planning a trip to Italy and Germany, you can swap CDs as you look up information. Printing an agenda does not even require that a CD be in the drive. Core data is stored on the hard drive and you can install or uninstall countries at will. One copy of the software on the hard drive runs all PlanetWare titles. To find attractions, users can search by name, by 140 hobby and interest categories, by geographic methods, by ratings, by admission passes, by keywords in the text, or by pre-defined tour sequences planned by experts.
