I am looking for something that, for an example, if you are crossing Michigan from Detroit to Chicago tells you about the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village (5 miles off track) and a little later on might mention the Yankee Air Museum (3 miles) and the Gilmore (16 miles and should not be missed). It only works underway with the GPS going and even then it is problematic at best.
What I do is load the route as planned into the AAA trip planner that now uses Google and then step along the route at the lowest magnification and look for what it flags. This still misses a lot because there are many things in this country at that are easily worth a 100 mile detour.
