I still use mine for some planning.
I do a few things now:
Use Google Maps with way stops entered. Then I use a combination of:
>Allstays Pro app, looking for National Parks/Forests/Monuments, Arm Corp of Engineering, Elk's, State/County/City parks, Independent Parks. (I look for them in that order.) I also will look at Passport America, for way stations and overnighters where we want full hook up's. Then Walmart/Cabella's for overnight stops without hook ups.
>Another resource, is the Escapees Days End
>I keep RV Parks Review open, and cross check this for ratings for the choices in an area
I find the one feature I miss the most MS S&T, is the ability to adjust all speeds on all roadways to the slowest possible, and enter Start/Stop times, and every four hours 20 min breaks. This made planning easier, as the 'overnight moon' would appear on the map where you need to find a place to stay between way points. Then I would drill down per above, to determine where and how long to stay.
(We try to follow the Three 2's. Less then 200 miles a day; Stop by 2:00PM; Stay 2 nights
! Though we will alter this if just stopping overnight like say a Walmart.)
Now I keep a another web page open with Google maps, and enter the from too on that page, to easily see distance and times of travel. I factor this back by about 10-15% time wise, especially in California at 55 MPH, due to us not driving the speed limits posted for automobiles.
I will in 2017, start using two or three different planning/routing tools at the same time. I'll do two at a time, along with MS S&T and Google Maps, then compare how the two I'm evaluating work for us.
Will follow this thread, as I have others like this, and hopefully someone will say 'Try this, it's even better then MS S&T!
!)...
Best to all,
Smitty
