I am going to be using Street Atlas 2015 as long as I can. I have been trying to find Co-pilot, but cannot find a copy to use hands on. None of the on-line stuff is worth a tinker's ****. It is all on-line and when we travel, I have to be able to navigate off-line for at least a day and sometimes two. We aren't Blue Roads people.
With SA, I can plan an extended excursion and know where I will be looking for fuel and/or a NOP long before departure. AND, I can update as needed and the update wrinkles thought the plan and when something now longer works, it shows so it is no surprise.
The closest I have found on-line is a site called Furkot. It has a really steep learning curve and wants you to NOP at crampgrounds and tells you to buy fuel at places it knows without regard to price. (Watch out going into Illinois or Michigan.) If you enter a new ONP or fuel stop (you do this with the location marker) it will update, but it does have only part of the function that I could/can manage with SA. It does have the advantage of charts (maps) that are less than 5 years old.
