Cycling tourism?

Hello, I'm trying to plan a bicycle trip from the east coast of the U.S. the west coast ending at some in mid-California. I found an awesome website http://www.adventurecycling.org/store/index.cfm/category/1/route-maps.cfm Their maps are quite expensive, but I was wondering if anywhere there might be able to download the data map for the Trans America Express Route? I can not see to find the way that you can import into Google Earth, written or addresses or any detailed maps on the web. Any help would be highly appreciated:) Tim

Tim, I have done the route of the Pacific Coast but not the one being planned. Not sure what your budget but you can think about getting one of the new Garmin GPS equipment cycling. The black and white is quite affordable. The ACA allows you to download the GPS route for free. You can plan your route stops before making deviations and easily without a separate computer for. Moreover bicycle team will serve for years, and it will work on your car. My plan is to purchase the Edge 605 for my next trip for several days this fall. I am saving for a trip to Europe next year and will buy the SD card with maps of Europe before leaving.
