I’m not sure what to plan for the US. I would like to hit the national parks in New England particularly the Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park area so I found a list of the best campgrounds in the New England states and added waypoints for the best of those.
Jean-Francois mentioned an interest in following the Appalachian Trail and sent me a link to a forum thread that discussed a MapSource route. I found the route on it has so many waypoints it’s hard to visualize. I used the strip map provided on the National Park Service website (http://www.nps.gov/appa/planyourvisit/upload/APPA%20Map.pdf) to add waypoints and then in Topo mapped a route that was cross country (not on roads). I then switched over to City Navigator and found the roads closest to the cross country trail. You can download my Appalchian Trail MapSource file at http://www.motorcycle-journeys.com/current/routes_maps/routes_maps.html
I have the National Geographic Guide to Scenic Highways & Byways so I map a route in MapSource for each of their recommended routes in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
The MapSource file for the New England scenic routes and camping spots is also at http://www.motorcycle-journeys.com/current/routes_maps/routes_maps.html.
