The weather feature would be nice, if it worked, which it didn't on my
route tomorrow.
The routing would be good if I was in a hurry, and wanted to take all
interstates. The interstate system isn't hard to figure out though, I
don't really need a web page to tell me to take I10 from LA to El Paso.
Streets and Trips is still the best mapping software I've used. It will
try to route on slabs, but you can drag the route to the back roads and
it will show that route.

Thanks George, I have been looking for something that will let me drag the
route.
Is that what you used on your blog?
How far have you gotten? Did you make it out before the sky fell?

Yep, it lets you convert the map to a jpeg. The only problam is you
can't get rid of the route marker numbers. The guy that put up the
California Motorcycle Roads pages <www.pashnit.com> manually removes the
numbers using photoshop. Don't expect that from me.

I'm in Ocean Springs, MS. I have been riding the back roads, stopping to
smell the roses. Not going to set any speed records this trip.
Left Austin Monday at 7 AM, only went through one storm on the east side
of Austin. Just enough to make the bike dirty as hell, but you can't
tell now with all the Louisiana bugs covering it.
BTW, check this page <http://hawglydavidson.com/page1/slugs.html> and
look at the bottom, Miss BS#279.

I've tried just about all of them, IMO MS Streets and Trips is the best
mapping software for the US. Agua's got a better one for Europe, but it's
in German so doesn't work so well for the US.
