If all roads were straight it would be easy, travel 200 miles and you are at X place two hundred miles from start point, roads are not straight travel on a road with a lot of switch backs and you may travel 200 miles on the odometer and only be 80 miles from where you started.
Purchase good road maps and a good compass preferably one with two points, on the scale ruler measure 10 or 20 miles, and start walking the compass until you have the 200 miles then see what town or interesting area there is.
That is how it is done to navigate an aircraft, ship and yes even RV's, that is how the wife and I do it and then we use Microsoft maps and trips to plan and print what we want to see and do.

This is what I do. Then if I'm not familiar with the area, I Google it and see what's around.
