Looking for App where I can select miles per day.
I,m wondering if there is an app or software that will allow me to say I want to travel a certain amount miles from my present location? This would make finding sites to stop much easier

We use google earth. Yes, actual road distance may be a little different but usually it's obvious if it's significant (Ie: if you are going from Muskegon to Milwaukee, it's pretty obvious Lake Michigan is in the way.
Since I have google earth pro on my work laptop, I can just put a circle centered on my current location and define a radius. Then it's pretty easy to see where I can get to in a given period of time.
Once you have a destination in mind, you then simply ask it for directions and it will give you miles and estimated travel time.
You can also search the destination for what ever you are interested in, restuarants, groceries, campgrounds, etc...
A nice thing if reaching a new campground is to use streetview, so you can see what the entrance looks like. Makes it a lot easier than just having an adress. Also, a lot of times you can see part of the campground and it looks sketchy, you can pick another without having driven there already.
