Route planning

Post by Adrian1965 »

Seeing as i'm not having a lot of luck with google maps or via Michelin ,, can anyone recommend something where i can plot a route by adding one destination/waypoint at a time and save route as i go for my trip at the end of april to Bulgaria ? I have many places of interest which i wish to visit on the way there and back but am struggling to find a way of joining them all up :(

Tyre

I use Basecamp for my sins. I'm determined to master it but hell, is is a steep learning curve.

I was just going to suggest Basecamp! Bit I've read comments like this before but can't understand what the problem is!

For planning routes, be they road or trail, I always use ViewRanger it's very easy to use, you can either drop the way points yourself or autoroute will connect them depending on what mode of transport you choose and its very easy to switch between maps. (thumbs)

I too find TYRE very easy to use and can easily transferred to Tom Tom or Garmin
