Has anyone found a replacement for the program MS Streets & Trips ? I've been using it for years but MS has seen fit to end production. I bought Delorme 2014, not even close and operation was very di...

I've been using Delorme since 2008. I've also upgraded to the 2015 version. I'll admit that it does have a learning curve, but once you know how to use it, it's very powerful. I use it for all my planning and as my GPS. I have a small form PC under the left side of the dash. It's connected to the front overhead 40 inch TV via an HDMI cable. I'm also using a wireless keyboard w/mouse. In the photo below the bottom part of the screen is the Silverleaf engine montioring system. While driving my wife controls the GPS. I've been using this setup now for about five years. It works well for me.
I've also planned numerous cross country trips. Most recently a 13,000 mile, 270 day round trip to Alaska this spring, summer and fall. It's very easy to set you preferences for how many miles/hours per day and when you need fuel stops based upon your mileage and tank size. Delorme will place indicators for nightly stops and fuel stops based upon these preferences. Then you can easily search these areas for the appropriate stops.
It also is very easy to import POIs using multiple formats, Excel, tab/comma delimited etc. I've got numerous POIs: Pilot/FlyingJ, Walmart, COE Campgrounds. State campgrounds etc. There are literally thousands of free files you can import from places like the POI Factory and numerous other sites.
