. . .It seems to be the only one available for PC or laptop and it's only $20.
It's that or nothing.
Not really.
BaseCamp works on a PC. And you can follow BaseCamp's user forum for additional information.
And for an Apple mapping product you might try: inRoute Planner and GPS Navigator
BaseCamp is free from Garmin. It works differently from Streets & Trips.
As technology advances, we either keep up or get left in the dust.
I currently employ Google Maps, BaseCamp, Streets & Trips.
As I chip away at the BaseCamp learning curve I tend to use the other maps less and less.
My FASTEST method of developing a list of way points is to use Google Maps (there's a learning curve there too).
Then export the Google waypoints to a KMX file.
Import the KMX file into BaseCamp, add stop overs, optimize the route and make it how I want.
When the route is finished in BaseCamp, I export it to my Garmin GPS.
We like to go weekend estate sale shopping - I might lookup six addresses on Google Maps - add them as "destinations" in Google, then export to BaseCamp - optimize the route and export it to the GPS.
When traveling the wine country: Great way to find wineries, plot out a quick route, then go do some wine tasting!:)
