1. A system comprising:
a computing device having computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions configured to cause the computing device to:
receive an input indicative of a trip to be made to a destination by a traveler;
access a store of route data for an area encompassing the trip;
identify at least one route for the trip;
access a weather forecasting service from which expected weather conditions are accessible for the area through a projected time;
identify the expected weather conditions for a location at the projected time;
display an integrated route map including the at least one route and the expected weather conditions for the location at the projected time;
generate a graphical representation of a timeline for the trip within the integrated route map and advance and rewind the integrated route map between a current time and at least the projected time by the traveler moving a sliding input relative to the graphical representation of the timeline, wherein the sliding input comprises a situation indicator comprising a time indicator and a weather indicator providing a time and an expected weather condition for a corresponding location along the graphical representation of the timeline, wherein the situation indicator is translated along the graphical representation of the timeline with the sliding input, and wherein the graphical representation of the timeline for the trip and the time indicator and the weather indicator of the situation indicator are each displayed simultaneously with the integrated route map including the at least one route and the expected weather conditions for the corresponding location at a time selected utilizing the sliding input;
present a progress indicator graphically representing a position of the traveler on the integrated route map; and
reposition, in response to a received input from the sliding input indicating the selected time, the progress indicator to the corresponding location at the selected time and display, simultaneously within the integrated route map including the at least one route and the expected weather conditions for the corresponding location at the selected time, the time indicator and the weather indicator of the situation indicator, the sliding input, and the repositioned progress indicator.
