Personally, I have always used Microsoft Streets and Trips. Easy to plan out a road trip and easy to load into my GPS. Been using it since 2010.

Me neither!

I start with a AAA map spread out on the dining room table. The wife spends hours planning our trips (air + 4 wheels) surrounded by AAA maps while sort of watching the TV. We have them planned in minute detail for the next 2 years. Need to get in as much travelling as we can before we are either too infirm or croak.

I use Garmin Base Camp (Preferred) or the trip planner from HOG - Streets & Trips is OK, IF you own something that uses a Microsoft OS - and I have not for years, nor anything using Android.

If you use anything with iOS, you should try Base Camp. While there are lots of map Apps, none let you plan like Base Camp does.

I heard that there was one person who liked Base Camp.
That must be you !

I investigated Base Camp on the Garmin website & found it was a free download.

Downloaded it & am now learning how to use it. An uphill battle I fear as not too many little grey cells left.

Planning for a great trip is a lot of fun and a great way to pass some of the winter "non-riding" hours.

With the internet you can fine tune, get the route, see what else is in the area, even get costs and make reservations if you need lodging.

Did the same thing for our wilderness canoeing. Poured over the stacks of maps, tried to visualize what we were going to find and just where we would go--given thousands of combinations and permutations.

Good pre-season activity to get the wanderlust flowing. :yes:

I downloaded BaseCamp last week, haven't had a chance to get into it yet. Most of my 1 day rydes, I take whatever road looks good, run out till I need gas, then use the Garmin to find my house.
