Do yourself a favor and buy some GIS app for the laptop you should have. I tested them all, and prefer S&T. Plan your trip and run your plan and the route will be right there in front of your face and mileage between turns and at state lines will appear in the Directions. -
OR
An app for your Android or iPhone (search "mileage log" or "trip log" on the device app store)
OR
A Rand McNally "TND" series GPS
OR
A Garmin "DEZL" series GPS
OR
MS Streets for windows
OR
A voice recorder device (less than 20 bucks) or a voice recorder app (if you want to use your smartphone - free)
OR
A USB tracker/recorder (Google "usb tracker" or trackstick)
OR
A passenger with a clipboard
OR
A grease pencilgpsman Thanks this. -
"Today we announce [...] the discontinuation of Microsoft Streets & Trips."
Guess S&T won't be a viable option anymore.
Writing down the odometer at the state line would be easy enough, if only I could have some kind of audible warning when it happened. I always seem to zone out at state lines and miss them. I'll look into the trip logging app for Android and see if I can get what I'm looking for. -
rand is the best unit on the market. just look at this sight. 500 pages of support threads.
not one page started for any other brand.. other then reviews here and there.

So I gave trip log on android an eight hour test, and this might be exactly what I need. Anyone here (reading the thread) use it and know how I would see state miles from my recorded trip?
