Description-en: A highway trip planner
This is a highway trip planning program, similar to programs like
Rand McNally's "TripMaker." It allows you to plan road trips between
two or more locations, using various interchangeable map files (or
databases).
.
Currently, the program includes two databases covering North America;
one is fairly simplistic, and one is quite detailed. You can also
create new databases with the editor in the routeplanner-gnome package.
.
For retrocomputing nuts, this program traces its lineage back to a
1980s program called "RoadRoute" written by Jim Butterfield for the
Amiga. AFAIK all of the code has been rewritten, but the Basic-USA
database included here is Jim's original dataset.
.
The package includes two console-based interfaces; for the GNOME
interface and the editor, you should install routeplanner-gnome as well.
