Here you see a POI collection, below a mixed map with POI Collection and a planned route.

I did wrote a lot about this topic. Did test a lot of tools.

What is helpful, depends a lot on the tools you will use later for navigation itself.

Above are Screenshots out of my Google`s My Maps. It is a good allrounder in my eyes - which allows collaboration with others. Allows to share your route and POI to others. And it allows too export and import the POI and Route to your Navigation Device.

If your Navigation Computer cant import KML or GPX Files you may find this way less useful..

I mostly enjoy travelling without a given route, but I love to have a set of Waypoints, to see what is nearby.

But you asked too for a way to find dirt-tracks and handle them. Give the App wikiloc a try. It is just for that - to find driveable dirt kategorized by vehicle category.

There are good videos on a YT (including mine) about Google Maps and route planning. To me greatest value of using the GM is that it's ubiquitous. I mean all over social media there are references to GM and POIs in it. I have collected many places in my GM when somebody is posting on Facebook and recommend a place. Only a couple of clicks I can save the POI in my GM collection for later use. No other mapping software can do this for me.

Also, the GM works in all devices (phones, tablets, laptops, computers) so I can reach my collection of POIs and route planning everywhere.

But I am not totally satisfied with GM and occasionally I use the Garmin BaseCamp and Furkot for my planning purposes. All these have some good in them, but also lacking something.

Thanks for adding Furkot too. This seams to be a killer product for those who like to plan in detail!

Was new to me, probably because I didnt follow a plan, usually :thumbup1:
