Both work.Įven if there is a perfect solution, it's unlikely to be the same for everyone. I have used Microsoft Street and Trips, and find it very good as well, but just not my favorite. Recognizing that you already have a GPS, and may not want to take a laptop along, the Delorme Topo USA or Street Atlas USA are my preferred tools, in any event. This is not recommended if you are traveling with someone (although I have convinced my wife to close the netbook and leave it running in the footwell, so the computer records the track and maintains live locations and route info, available when I need it) !! It provides the functionality of the PN-20 for the much lower cost of the LT-40, assuming you have a netbook or laptop you don’t mind setting on the seat next to you. I can also use my net book and the LT-40 to give me a bigger screen view of my track live. The track on the Topo USA allows me to go back years later and know where I was, when, which is important on a transcontinental trip….because your memory isn’t perfect! This allows me to always know where the photos were taken, at what exact time, and place, and to place them on digital maps like Google Earth.

When I get home, I use another piece of software to match the track to my digital photos, which automatically batch enters the time and coordinates into the EXIF in the photos. In the evening (or every couple of evenings) I download the actual track I followed from the PN-20 GPS to the Topo USA on my netbook, so I have a detailed, second by second track on my computer for future use. On the road I follow the route on the PN-20 GPS which will display fully detailed maps, with route, in color. I create a route in Topo USA and upload it to my PN-20 GPS. I create my route on my computer using the Delorme Topo USA software, which is excellent for trip planning (your question). I own a Delorme PN-20 GPS, Delorme Topo USA software, and the Delorme LT-40. I use a combination of Delorme products with great satisfaction. What is the best way to do this? Can you recommend some software or web sites?

I now need to plan out the 9,630 miles and 185 hours of driving time plus stops for a 4-week period of time. I am using Garmin MapSource software to map around 100 waypoints around the country which works great.
