Route plannerApp/GPS for iPhone.
Also, just so folks know, the HD Ride Planner works on other devices as well.
Last year a friend of mine and I decided to ride from TX to Yellowstone, Beartooth and Sturgis. His g/f wasn't up for the ride so my wife and his g/f followed in the car. I built all of the routes for the bikes with the Ride Planner and also used the same GPX files on my wife's Garmin. Worked like a champ and I didn't have to build the routes twice.

Ok, some are missing the point of the OP. Waze is great but it doesn't allow you to plan routes. The HD app is good, but you have to have a device to load the route data into. He doesn't have that. He wants a single app that will have the route and that he can use as his navigation. I'm like him, i want the same thing so I'm gonna check out the Navmii and Sygic. But damn I wish Waze allowed you to import routes from, say, Google maps. (And BTW, Google maps does allow you to plan routes. On a PC. But it limits you to only 10 waypoints, so it's not good for back roads or long distances)

I use inroute. It's not perfect but best thing I found. You can preplan your route with waypoints. Then when ready to navigate you open it in either Apple maps or google maps. Here is the slight down side. Neither map supports multiple waypoints so when you reach each waypoint inroute will ask if you want to proceed to the next waypoint. Tap the screen and it continues along your pre planned route. Very minor inconvenience to me. Plus I can plan route on iPad link it with my phone and all my routes are there

Nothing wrong with doing what the pioneers did when they circumvented North America, they stopped every hundred miles or so at a bar and checked out a map. Worked for them. Plus the added benefit of hydration.
