Planning Routes on the PC - What do you use?
 
This is directed to all the computer challenged folks out there :)

Which software you use to plan routes on?

Don't mind if it's free or not.

Cheers

I acquired a copy of Microsoft map point Europe 2006.

considering I hate all things microcrap. It is actually quite a good mapping tool and reasonably upto date.

I use it for planning routes. but not for detail. as I would use sat nav to navigate to specific points I didn't know.

MS AUtoroute, street level maps of Western Europe and the POI's are useful too.

(You didn't think I actually knew all of those roads in Europe did you :D )

I would like to have sthing on the PC and not that much online so that I could plan without the chance of the website packing up or the internet connection dropping etc etc

I shall play with both MS s/ws and see which one suits me best

If anyone else uses anything else let us know - I'll try that as well:)

Also, google maps (like that's going to go down!) and multimap, and streetmap.

All online, all free.
