Instructions

Growing up, my family was a big fan of road-trips which inspired me to create a cost calculating travel app for others who like the road!

This application was built in Python using the MecSimCalc platform. To use, you must enter estimates (or exact data) relating to the road-trip you are planning! Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate that will give you an idea of how much you should be saving in order to go on the trip. Enter in the data as directed on the user interface and happy travels!

Note: the two cities must have a road/roads connecting them or the app will not register a route.
