Road maping program

Anyone know of a program or web page where you could enter a list of cities and it would plot a shortest route? Need to enter 100+ cities for a motorcycle ride ?

I don't know how many points you can put in but here's two freebies.

Those are like most mapping programs that require you to know where you are going first. I have tried using a few and it just gets weird after few towns by criss crossing all over the place. They require you to have a good idea of your route to begin with. What I am looking for is to just provide a list of cities and then let it plot the best route. This trip is basicly a trip around Texas hiting certain towns. I can figure this out manualy but thought there might be something clever out there.

There is a program from Delorme called Street Atlas, or Microsoft Streets and Trips. Both of those programs have a GPS antenna that you can connect to your laptop and use it as a GPS unit and track your progress. Out of the two I would recommend the Delorme software.

These look like what I need. I will try them out and see what it looks like. May take a while to enter 103 cities.

Well, batchgeo only plotted where the towns were which helps slightly but does not plot a route (if I used it correctly).

Gmaps did the same thing, only plotted locations. Same for multilottr. Locations only no best route planning. Looks like I will just get out the old paper map and figure it out myself.

I use Delorme X maps 7 for the oil field and it works pretty good.
