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 |

Re: Planning Routes on the PC - What u use?
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  ). |

Re: Planning Routes on the PC - What u use?
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
