TOURING MAPS

OK, i'm super frustrated right now..... :banghead:
MAP QUEST has introduced a new version that in one word: SUX.... :yikes:
their old Classic version no longer works, and i've DELETED everything MAP QUEST on my computers....
does any one have a GOOD, RELIABLE map website where i can plan my various routes on...? one that will also include: motels, gas stations, restaurants, etc....
MAP QUEST really screwed-up by going to their NEW and IMPROVED (?) version.... :gaah:
HELP...! ! ! :cus:

can you post that website...? plz

We use AAA. Is is a free site and works quite well. You can have the program highlight the location of all gas stations along your route, for example. Or do the same for lodging and food.

Hi SPYD3R,

Re: OK, i'm super frustrated right now.....

Disclaimer: I am not a very good computer guy.

I saw the 'update' about MapQuest and thought, 'Oh, s***.'

A few weeks later I noticed something about being able to continue to use the earlier version => Click Here

So I did & I still have it on both of my computers.

Take a look around their website & see if you can find this.

Best of luck,

Jerry Baumchen

PS) Every time I see something about new/updated/super great, I shudder. It might be really great for my kids & grandkids but not for me. Now where's my d*** mouse?

Dan,
Have you taken a look at Rand McNally's Tripmaker? :dontknow:
I've used that in the past, and was usually pretty satisfied with the results.
Happy Hunting! :thumbup:

maps.google.com?

THX EVERYONE.....
i'm going to try AAA, Harley & Rand Mc.... the MAP QUEST CLASSIC only give me a sterile page... words only, no map...
maps.google.com doesn't allow me (i don't know if others gets it) the option for restaurants, gas, etc....
and 'yes' Jerry, i'm with you, my 12 yr old grand-daughter is 99.9% better at computers than i.... like you said "oh S***"...
thx again all... very helpful again....

Furkot.com online service, great tool, export to gpx for import to Garmin, POI cross reference with Motorcycleroads.com and BestBiking Roads.com, Scenic Byways. Follow the tutorial. Can work on your phone but I do my routing at a desktop. Also free is good.

Google did the same thing a year or so ago. I wish they would leave well enough alone!

If I understand correctly, Tyre will not work with a Mac.

It says on the web page it will work with iOS so at least with the iPhone you can use that.

I personally really like TYRE. It does everything you mentioned in your post, and it's free.

Hmm, missed that. I like to do all my planning on my big iMac and then send it to my gps. I don't use my phone for maps except when in a car.

RoadRunners Magazine has GPS format files for trip planning. These are by area all around the USA, maybe Canada, not sure about that one. :thumbup:

I personally like to get lost.
