Alternative to MS Autoroute for trip planning?

I use a pure android of line gps rolling map on my degooglised ph, tested today from antrim town right back to my door, :)

Another win for Autoroute. I tried importing all the CC Infos POI into google maps on the laptop just now. It only lets you import 2000 in one layer. There are about 25000 I think across Europe. I managed just the CC Infos wild spots for France only but its quite a limitation. I think Google Earth will allow as many as you like but no routing!! Autoroute wins. (from 12 years ago) :D

Thanks. Never heard of it but are you sure you can use it on a PC offline?

AI says not but its often wrong.

"No, HERE WeGo is primarily designed for mobile devices (phones and tablets) and doesn't have a dedicated PC version for offline map usage. While you can download offline maps on your mobile device and use them on the app, that app is not typically available for PC use. "

I just tried it on my PC out of curiosity.

The maps were lousy lacking in detail and not even showing minor roads. And it was very slow and sluggish to use. I gave up at that point even trying to see what it would and would not do.
 
I got mine off ebay, it comes on a thumb drive.

I have limit on file sharing with the version I use.

That's not typical, it shows all kinds of detail once you figure it out, it is a little slow to open but for planning it unbeatable.
 
I tried it years ago not tried it since, must give it a look but stopped as it wasn't as good as others.

Did anyone use the TNT PC program years ago, it was primarily designed for the parcel delivery company, and was really good, but then the updates stopped.
 
Aroute 2013.

It's a while since I used it in anger, but I recall a limit on way points, 16 I think, so you have to do that then save it and start at number 16 in another file.

The USP for me is you can put in random places then optimize a route.

What is absolutely staggering though is in the past few days I have found no other way of doing online routing where you can load the complete comprehensive set of Aires, wild spots, service points etc (mine are taken from CC Infos but they could come from any other source) and see them all on one map and plan routes between them other than Autoroute 2013. Google Maps only takes 2000 in one data set and Google Earth Pro will take 10000 which is still not enough and it doesn't do routing. Nowhere near enough and impossible to split really.

I am starting to remember why I used Autoroute so much in the good old days of epic long Euro tours.

OsmAnd will allow you to do what you want. But then you will have to use an Android tablet...

Just don't work for me. I think even on a tablet you will never get this sort of detail on one screen and a phone, forget it. These are the wrong pushpins as there is a glitch in the symbols but they are essentially all the wild spots, Aires and official overnight parking areas for this part of France on my route and of course they will work without a data connection.

Is that for an Android emulator Trev? I tried Bluestacks a couple of times. Hopeless.
