I'll tell you what works for us...We use Microsoft Streets & trips off of our desktop computer when planning a trip. I copy,paste and edit driving directions to "clean up" the text. My wife, the navigator, doesn't like the level of detail included therefore we abridge the text. We also have the same "trips" loaded onto our laptop. We append or modify our routes once we have departed, as required. We carry a gps in the towed for tourist stuff - years ago our Lowarance took the motorhome down a dead end - unhook car and 6-point turn around, not fun. That's why the gps stays in the car. We do not usually have paper maps - other than Trailer Life campground directory. We travel interstates primarily - really cautious about underpasses on secondary roads.
