This is how I have been managing my road trips:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...sp=sharing
The first few tabs are fairly basic and setup to run the interstate, the scenic route tab however is where it gets interesting. Since google has limited the number of waypoints, I plan out the major route with daily stops. Then, I break down each day via gas stops. The important setting for a scenic route is the "avoid highways" check box in the google maps options. To save the map I only need to grab the shareable link and put it in the spreadsheet.
With the spreadsheet, I can calculate stop time in with travel time and get a more accurate plan.
