Hi Attackmac and welcome to the Forum
All these things are possible but will need coding using VBA, Visual Basic for Applications, the language built-in (apart from web and mobile versions of Excel).
I'd suggest first you familiarise with Excel a little before attempting your logging project. The Tutorials section of this site Excel Tips and Tutorials is a great place to start.
On a "timestamp" issue for example, at a worksheet level, you may be aware that one can be created using this formula in a cell:
=NOW()
then fixing that via copy/ Paste Special (Values). That cell can be formatted in a variety of ways (e.g. date format, to include seconds or not, to show AM/PM).
That can be automated with VBA- see the example in the Tutorials section here: Automatically Timestamp Entries in Excel.
Please try those things (and modify to your "route sheet" and come back if you get stuck.
