I am wondering what is the sortware that the people on Trike Talk are using for their trip planing?
Retired but plenty of spark left.

TOI - IBA #23804 (SS1K & BB1.5K)
I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.
I use Mapquest which came with my Zumo 550, I also spend a good amount of time with Google doing research for things to see and do.

Red Ultra Powered By Head-Quarters 120, Easy Clutch Pull By ClutchWIZ. 2012 GL1800 Hannigan. I've yet to ride a stock Harley which wasn't in need of a mechanical intervention.
I usually plot my routes on Microsoft Street & Trips. Then follow that route on my Tom Tom GPS. All subject to change if another road looks interesting. Or trying to avoid bad weather.
I'm not saying what you guys are using are not good programs but you really ought to give Tyre a look-see. I've used both of your programs (still have Streets & Maps on my computer) but this Tyre is really neat. You can down load the routes directly into any Garmin or Tom Tom GPS that has the computer hook up capability.

I use Garmin's Mapsource and then download to GPS unit I use on the bikes.
For my Nuvi ,which is what I use for the auto is not directly programmable, I use MapQuest, Honda trip planning, or Mapsource and then put in via points and destination to create a route.
