Looking for App where I can select miles per day.

I,m wondering if there is an app or software that will allow me to say I want to travel a certain amount miles from my present location? This would make finding sites to stop much easier

  • I use Delorme Street Atlas - and pick a direction and plug in a trial destination that I know is way further out than I want to go. The route preferences let me specify distance per day or miles per day, so then I start looking around that one day point. Then if necessary, move the trial destination in another direction.

    Or, if I know where I want to wind up - plug in that final destination and then pick intermediate stops based on time or distance.

    Street Atlas is Windows software - needs a laptop or Windows tablet.

  • I would think it isn't possible, other than just putting in places. A radius of 200 miles would just show a circle, but to get to that circle as the crow flies might take a freeway or a back road, each taking different times.

    How does Google maps calculate miles without entering a city or destination?
    The OP just wants to enter miles to see where they end up.
    I too being trying and haven't figure that out and always wonder if it's possible?
