Not sure if you have a Garmin or not...

If you do, go on to Garmins website, they have a program called BaseCamp. Not sure if will work with other GPS makes.

It is free to download.
You can do custom routes and it can also be setup with Google Earth.

Pretty cool program. You can save your trips and then just transfer to your GPS.

I found a bunch of how to videos on YouTube thats makes it easy to learn how to do stuff with it.

The best thing that I have found with the GPS is that if you make a wrong turn, it recalculates your route.

Works good when riding and wonder what is down that road :smiler:

I used to print maps of each leg of my route and then highlight them. They where then folded in order and I went on my way. Problem was when I hit a detour or mad construction. Then it was a half hour or so on the side off the road trying to figure it out.

With the GPS, I go in the general direction and the GPS automatically keeps figuring out the specifics. Releaves stress and lets me explore a little more.

Kind of like a good co-rider if she can read a friggin map When she just can't or you don't have one (good co-rider), the GPS works pretty good.

I have a Garmin Zumo 200 and really like it. I use it on the bike and also some times in the truck. I always take it with me when I travel for work because it helps so much when you are not in a familiar town.
