Map - Week 1

It's been one week...
...since you looked at me.

I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours

Here's a map of my journey so far, after one week.

I want a better way to track my itinerary but I haven't found one yet.
If anyone has a suggestion, please leave a comment.

The direct Google maps navigation distance is 221 miles, approx 3.5 hours driving time. I'll check my car for the actual trip distance when I (forget to, and will never update this post again) remember. Update: 700 miles. Remembered when I thought about selling my house (my car) as a REMAX agent in this post.

The red dots are bookmarks of various Walmarts, KFCs, and national park sites that give a rough outline of the path I've taken. I found out I could colour-code the bookmarks, so you see ahead of me I've prospected some places I can go. Orange for Walmart, Green for park sites, and Blue for 'caravan sites', which I hope are trucker rest stops.

My journey started in Clifton, VA which is not visible on the map, but the closest name would be Washington D.C. . I'm on a Linux distribution at the moment, so I don't have MS Paint to mark the starting point. If I can install an alternative program, I'll mark that on the map. (Update: OK I put the starting area in a red circle. Pinta on Ubuntu owns MS Paint any day, all day.) I am currently in Salem, VA at the downward blue arrow.

My data plan doesn't extend to the majority of my route, so I need an offline map with GPS solution. I'm currently using Maps.ME for navigation, but I didn't find any route saving feature.

Endomondo is a workout app that I use to save itineraries on my hikes, but it's not adequate for long distance trips. Sometimes Endomondo cuts out while I'm driving, and it has to be always on and recording, so that drains battery.
