    Drive Time Estimates

    How do y'all plan drive times for new routes? I've tried using Google maps to manually edit a route, but if it's a twisty one, maps goes haywire and becomes more frustrating than it's worth. I'm planning a small section of the SCAR loop from Kings Mountain to Dupont over a long weekend in...

Always had a passing interest in Overlanding, but have decided to dive in. No rig yet, but looking to pick one up in the next six months or so...
