See how much fuel your trip needs
Say you are driving the Southern Scenic Route. You want to know how much fuel it takes before you go. Tell Motocamp what your vehicle uses, just once. Every route then shows the litres, and your trip plan splits them by day.
1Plan your route
Tap Menu, then tap the Route tab. Type Queenstown in Start location. Tap Add Stop and type Te Anau. Tap Add Stop again and type Invercargill. Type Dunedin in End location. Put the stops in the order you'll drive them. Tap the right place in the list under each box. Then tap Plan Route.
2Tap Add your fuel use
Look in the Route Summary, under your stops. There is a line with a fuel pump. It says Add your fuel use to see how much fuel this trip needs. Tap it. You only do this once for each vehicle.
3Type your number, tap your fuel
A small card opens. Type how many litres your vehicle uses to go 100 km. Your handbook or trip computer will tell you. Then tap the fuel it takes: 91, 95, 98 or Diesel. That saves it.
4See the fuel for the trip
The line now shows how many litres the whole trip needs. Want a new number or a new fuel? Tap Change. The line changes for every route you plan.
5Get the fuel for each day
Tap Email me this trip plan, or Download PDF. The first page shows the fuel for the whole trip. The table of days has a Fuel column. Each day's page says how much fuel that day needs.
Good to know
The litres come from the number you give and the length of the road. So treat them as a guide. A ferry uses no fuel, so the Cook Strait crossing is left out. Each vehicle keeps its own number. Towing keeps its own number too. Your number stays on this phone or computer.
Also in the app: maps that work with no signal, campsites and huts, and Plan with AI. It plans routes for eight kinds of vehicle, from an enduro bike to a motorhome.
