Over the last 10+ years I have used just about every mapping program out there. I settled on Delorme's Street Atlas for the initial planning then copied to Garmin's Mapsource or BaseCamp to finalize and download to the Garmin GPS. I know many of you really like Streets and Trips which I found very lacking and always out of date and wondered why it lasted as long as it did. Then there is the free Garmin BaseCamp and like most I found almost impossible to use. However it is the most current non-online mapping product (if kept up to date with lifetime map updates) that is available. After about 6 months of working and experimenting with BaseCamp I can now do just about anything the other programs did and somewhat faster. One thing that I wasted time on was BaseCamps Trip Planner and never have gotten it figured out. I just use librarys of waypoints and build routes using them. If you don't use a Garmin GPS and a PC/MAC then BaseCamp is not an option for you.
