OK, I want to leave Cleveland , Ohio and drive 300 miles on my way to Seattle. I would like to program to tell me where the 300 miles takes me and what camp areas are there. Next day same thing and so on until I reach Seattle destination. What program do I need to purchase? Thank you

I'm on the road and don't have my normal route planning tools available, but here's an example of how I would address your question:

• Use GoogleMaps, MapSource, Microsoft S&T, or any other mapping program.
• Cleveland to Seattle is 2362 miles, which at 300 miles/day will take about 7-1/2 days.
• First day, look at your map, pick a point about 300 miles out, and search near that point for campgrounds.
• In that vicinity, you'll note there are 3 campgrounds sort-of close to I-80: Sand Creek Campground (Chesterton, IN), Camp Land RV (Burns Harbor, IN), and Yogi Bear Jellystone Park (Portage, IN).
• Go to http://www.rvparkreviews.com and check out the reviews for all three campgrounds, and then pick one that's OK for you. E.g., the Jellystone Park campground gets a 2.7 rating and the posted reviews say the place is pretty much terrible. The review for Sand Creek is not much better.
• Based on that, I'd be inclined to driver either more or less, but your preferences may vary.
• Make you choice and spend the night there.
• Then pick the spot 300 miles out from wherever you've stopped. Search again, and pick a spot. E.g., the KOA in Oakdale, WI (which gets good reviws).
• And then continue on in the same manner.

Obviously, that's a fair amount of work, but for me the route planning is actually part of the fun. If it's drudgery for you, and you want something more automated, then I'll leave it to others to chime in.

Hope that helps,
