Clear as mud, eh?

Nope. I still don't get it. I probably need a much more detailed tutorial or to take the time to work on it before I understand it. You still have to get online to use Google Maps. I do not post these maps here for people to use as they travel. The idea is you have your maps and you look at your map and also my map to figure out the best route for you. I suppose if you wanted you could take the picture from this forum and do a Copy & Paste to save the map. We do use a Garmin and I can also use Basecamp but I don't. Don't really need it. I create routes as we go. I don't think I would use anyone else's specific route without completely checking it to make sure it went exactly where I wanted to go and how I wanted to go. Same with any GPS - Garmin or whatever - I would never just follow a route create by the device without looking the entire route over first. So you can use any of these programs with maps that work offline to create a route just by giving it TO/FROM points and let it calculate the route. You can put in waypoints to force the route you want to take. My point being I show my suggested route - - the route I would take - but in no way do I suggest that is the best route or that anyone should take it without first spending time with their own maps to make sure they are going where and how they want to go. So easy enough to look at what I post and then check it on whatever map you want to use and do whatever you need to do to create your own personal route. I need to work more with these new programs to learn more about ways to use them. I am still using S&T because I have an in-dash computer with it built in and a 15 inch computer screen to use as our GPS as we travel. Someday I will find a better way. I have the new MS Maps in this computer also but my brain is tuned in to S&T so that is what I use.
