On the topic of PC based mapping that can be exported to a mobile GPS device, Google maps doesn't work for me because it only allows ten waypoints per route. I build routes with dozens of waypoints in order to force the route onto the squiggliest of roads. GoogleMaps also requires elaborate histrionics to convert from its format to that of a mobile GPS app.
I have found a fantastic and free Windows PC based, installable application for creating routes such that I almost never use anything else. It is very configurable having many different base maps and routing algorithms from which to choose and you can save your routes in the native format of your mobile GPS app of choice for easy export. The PC based application is called ITNConverter. Give it a whirl.
I use CopilotGPS as my mobile Android based GPS app - which is a whole 'nother delightful story. And as mentioned, ITNConverter will save routes as Copilot native format .trp files which makes route sharing and interoperability a breeze.
