- .description
- RoutePlanner is an update to Jim Butterfield's RoadRoute program. The
- following enhancements have been made:
-
- · A graphic user interface has been added, using Stefan Stuntz's MUI
- system.
-
- · The program now incorporates fuel consumption data as part of its output.
-
- · Highway classifications have been added. You can adjust the master speed
- values for each classification, depending on your driving habits. *
-
- · You may choose up to 20 intermediate cities on your route, making
- realistic "round trips" possible.
-
- · Named map files can be loaded using extended selection, double-clicking
- on map file icons, or on the command line.
-
- · Includes comprehensive documentation, supplemental utilities, and two
- map files, designed for small and large machines.
-
- · Notification of crossing state lines, and arriving in intermediate
- cities.
-
- Best of all, you can use your existing RoadRoute database files with
- RoutePlanner. Simply use the included "RouteConv" utility to import
- the basic structure, then use "RouteEdit" to add any necessary highway
- classification data.
-
- * Requires enhanced databases.
