Map

Postby NakedPupsAndMe » Wed Apr 22, 2009 10:05 am

Hi All,

DH & I are still planning on fulltiming next fall. We would like to workamp along the way, but there are quite a few places we want to see. Is there such a thing is a map or atlas of the US I could download onto my computer? I'd like to be able to "pin" certain locations that are "must see's". I thought of buying a big US map but that takes up so much space. Do you know of anything online I could use?

You could do what you're looking for with Microsoft's Streets & Trips, which is not a very expensive program (Sam's Club). I would guess most any other mapping software would allow you to do the same thing.

For free, you can use either google maps:

Or MyMapQuest (which I have never used):

Using those two program would require that you be online. The stand alone programs would not have that limitation. Maybe someone else has some other ideas?

I use (and love) Streets and Trips - I plan with it and keep my trips saved on their. I was in Carol and Bill's rig when they came back from Mexico, and they had printed off maps from there with their routes in various colors on them. Very cool.
