Google Maps for planing trip

Thanks MotherHen,, yes this is a lot better than google maps, not exactly what I wanted but can cut & paste fairly easy to notepad...

I find all electronic mapping frustrating when trip planning. It will only ever show you the route it thinks is best or the route you chose. There may be something very interesting 5 min off that route & you will never find it.

I use a book called Australian Places from Readers Digest and a large paper map to work out where I want to go. I then use google maps and whereas to calculate distance. Google would not have taken me to Porcupine Creek Gorge. It was a reasonable detour but well worth the effort. It was in Aus Places & on my paper map of Qld.
