Map making

Hello all!
Does anyone know of a map making site that will list cities and stops in and around those cities in order? My cousin and I will be traveling to Scotland in May and are planning to visit several areas and many attractions while there. Would like to create a drivable map that will take from one location to the next with attractions added in so we do not backtrack so much*like we did on previous trip). A y advise is appreciated!!

I just use google maps. I put in starting and ending city(ies) and then add other places, soon it the process you will see what order makes sense and you can slide the cities up and down to make the drive efficient.

With Google Maps, just put in your first town, then hit "directions" to your second. From there, use "search along the route" for things of interest, and use the "add stop" button. Google will automatically create the most efficient route. Unfortunately, Maps only lets you create a string of so many stops along the way (10?). You can drag the stops around in the list if opening hours, ferry times, tides etc. demand.

When I do planning, I input my arrival airport, then "add destination" for each place I think I'd like to stay, dragging the order to make a nice route. Then do the above between the towns to create a daily route.

Yes, the limit is 10. However, I just start a new one after that, beginning at the last destination of the previous list and then creating a new one.

Hi!!

Thank you jjgurley and mardee for the info! I will try doing the map for my first destination which is from Edinburgh Airport to about 5 miles outside of Stirling. If it works then I can create one from Stirling to Lochcarron. On that route I want to make sure we visit Lich Lomond along the way. Thank you again!!!!
