I am preparing to buy an RV from a private party just south west of
Portland.  Doing this same thing using Trucker's Path is possible but takes
a little while.  This took about 5 minutes total.  BTW once the google map
is up on my browser I can "send to phone" and the route will be sent to my
phone where I can open it in google map and use that to navigate along the
route.

Technology is a wonderful thing.
