I’m moving across the country in a few weeks and am trying to plan my route as I’ll be driving a moving van with a car towed behind it. The entire drive will be 16-17 hours.

Google maps seems limited for searching everything I’d want to take into account for the route (pull through gas stations, height requirements, avoiding mountain highways, etc.) and was wondering if anyone knew of a better way to plan out the trip?

    I have traveled extensively, and use this to generate my routes. You can restrict toll road usage, it can automatically plan your gas stops and suggest night stops. You can specify day start and end times, restrict the number of driving hours, and can even include brief stops (like for sightseeing) and it will automatically adjust your entire itinerary. You can specify your planned driving in speed in absolute terms, or in relative terms (as a percentage of the expected speed limit), and if you add or remove a point, it will automatically place it into a point in your itinerary which makes the most sense.

    It’s amazing.
