Looking for App where I can select miles per day.

If you use Google maps, you can put in you current position and destination, then drag the route to where you want it. Once you get directions it will show time and distance to your turns. Otherwise you could put in a fictitious end point in the direction you want to go.

Rv parky might work for you it will find campgrounds,gas ect.you can search for many different things In an area you want to stay in will work on your phone,computer,tablet

I use Good Sam Trip Planner. I put my start point, and end point; then I place the stops in between based on the number of miles I wish to travel in a day. I use my GPS to monitor my progress in achieving my desired time and destination.

you don't need a app, 5 hours = 250 10 hours = 500. not exact but pretty close.

This is not exactly a map, but it will do what you want:

How Far Can I Travel?

If all roads were straight it would be easy, travel 200 miles and you are at X place two hundred miles from start point, roads are not straight travel on a road with a lot of switch backs and you may travel 200 miles on the odometer and only be 80 miles from where you started.

Purchase good road maps and a good compass preferably one with two points, on the scale ruler measure 10 or 20 miles, and start walking the compass until you have the 200 miles then see what town or interesting area there is.

That is how it is done to navigate an aircraft, ship and yes even RV's, that is how the wife and I do it and then we use Microsoft maps and trips to plan and print what we want to see and do.

This is what I do. Then if I'm not familiar with the area, I Google it and see what's around.

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

Just use Google Maps!

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?

I use google maps all the time. Move your cursor to your start point then do a right mouse click. On the pull down menu, select "Measure Distance". Then, move your mouse some distance in the direction you want to travel (doesn't have to be anyplace in particular), do another right mouse click, then select "Distance to Here". This will give you a measured ruler. You can drag the end out or in to adjust the distance you want to measure. You can also "left mouse click" again and it will give you another leg to measure.

Play around with it and you might find it useful in planning.
