I used microsloth streets and trips to generate the maps. http://www.microsoft.com/streets/
Then grabbed images from there and saved as jpg's to post up to the website. I've tried a few mapping programs and like streets and trips the best. Good interface and nice looking maps. You're a little bit limited to how much detail you can show when posting just an image because if you zoom in too far when you grab the image it ends up being huge. You can see many of the maps I posted consist of several screen grabs pasted together in Paint Shop Pro. Heh, yeah not really looking forward to the dash across the desert. I did pick up a swampcooler vest to make it bearable. http://www.ridecool.com/ Have tourmaster cortech waterproof stuff for any wet/cool weather and Joe Rocket mesh stuff for the hot parts. >Rick - that route looks fun (except for the St. George to LA leg . . . >that'll be hot, straight, and all interstate . . . bombs away I guess). >I'll be on some of the same roads in one month as I'm headed from the Bay >Area to Montana, to the Black Hills of SD, down through Yellowstone, and >back home via as many small two lane highways as possible.
