    I routinely load very detailed trip routes into my Garmin Zumo. Most all of the routing programs allow you to convert the route to a gpx file and that can be downloaded into most Gps's. I have downloaded trips of as long as two weeks into my Zumo with no problem.

    Thanks. I just downloaded the Scenic app. I see that it tracks your route, and I believe you can send a pre-made route to it, or use the app itself to program your own route.

    I will experiment with it and check back in.

    You must belong to them. However, I use then instead of AAA. The beauty about there program is they'll recover your vehicle from anywhere. I had a friend who broke down 50 miles away from help in the Mojave and they came and picked him up. Since I like to explore that is important to me.

    I use Tom Tom route planner. Not sure if it's free but here is the link

    Also in my opinion if you are using "avoid highways" then the max distance I ride per day is 350-400 miles. Good Luck
