Why would I trust a stupid app to give me a route?? I sure aren't going to ride some gravel goat trail.
I do admit I'm poor at finding tourist spots I should have gone to. Sometimes I just forget to turn.
Obviously I have an overall destination, but basically I just plan the next day, while lying on the motel bed with my I-pad. Lots of forks in the road, I just eyeball it and check it out on my phone map.
The border bouncer asked me where I was going and I said how the hell should I know?? I then said being in my car would be the same.
I try to pick the most scenic route, hopefully with the best shoulders. Some days it's just ride to the next city. I actually choose to be in big cities along the way. Weather has some influence, not much. When I was going from Chilliwack to Vancouver, I didn't feel like picking my way thru the suburbs 90 miles. So I just got on the TransCan freeway, just 62 miles. LOL
Same thing in Vietnam and China.
