My question is, do you plan day by day and make a route for the day or maybe leg by leg (1 to 3 days. I have been trying to do the whole trip as one and I am thinking it is a mistake, infact I run out of space for triptiks before the trip is done and I am not going in to great detail.
Streets & Trips is great for an overall plan. I do like to get a big picture.
Then I save the master, and will break the trip into segments.
I will also break those segments down into one days travel - which I will either export and load into my Garmin GPS or use to program my Rand GPS.
I don't try to put more than one day of travel into the GPS.
Even back before GPS units were created - I would have AAA prepare my TripTiks are one day packages.
Always remember that GPS and routing guides like TripTik are advisory. You still have to know where you are going enough to avoid trouble. Or you might spot something you want to do / see and make a change in your route.
