You can use a number of different map displays and access streetview, it also gives an elevation plot. Once you have entered your start and end points it allows you to drag sections of the route around so you can avoid main roads, steep hills etc. It should be possible to plan individual sections end to end so you can plan daily routes and get an idea of where you'll end up at the end of the day. Hope this helps you out, Cheers Chris |
