I use Rand McNally Tripmaker 2000 to plan both business and personal trips, I got it off of ebaY for around $10.00. My version was labeled "MOPAR" and included a large printed atlas of North America. I don't use mine with a GPS but it does provide an interfacing option.

A newer version of Tripmaker is available at http://www.randmcnally.com/rmc/store/strProductDetail.jsp?OID=1073836067&POID=-

My version (and the newer version) allows you to create budgets for trips, insert actual values during/after the trip, choose scenic, shortest or fastest routing per segment, and one of my favorite options, finding attractions, lodging, dining etc... nearby your travel route, stopovers or destinations.

Another great feature is "RoadSense" which will show and attempt to route you around construction and known traffic delays. You need to connect to the internet to download the latest RoadSense info, and I found it very accurate.

I run the software on my laptop and refer when I need it, its a lot like having MapQuest access while not connected to the internet. I use the actual cost information on business trips and save it for tax and expense purposes.

Good luck,

Tim
