On-Line Trip Planning Map Program

Please / Thanks:

Well, this world "moves on without me" . . . and the CD-ROM trip-planning mapping I used some years ago has disappeared off into the ether, as it were.

Since my approach to tech-life is to stay as far away as I possibly, knowably can from Google's arrogant, aggressively invasive, intrusive, and imposing business model, I recognize that my options can be limited. Nonetheless . . .

For the past number of years my go-to trip-planning/information program was the basic Bing map -- it did everything I needed (which, from reviewing where this world has moved on to, was quite simple and sufficient for me). Disappointingly, Bing-world has decided it needed to keep-running-with-the-crowd-which-believes-more-and-more-new-bells-n-whistles (yes, AI, you stand accused!) are better.

All I needed was an on-line program where I could
1. enter an address point (to merely locate somewhere), then
2. add a second address ("directions" function),
3. add/insert additional addresses/stop points if desired, and
4. (most importantly for my way of doing things) click on a way-point icon showing on the route that resulted and
5. drag that/those onto a different route option, should I choose (usually because this order of events was the quickest and cleanest means of gaining the information I wanted).

All of the programs I've been sniffing-out offer a "quickest route" outcome (which is often useful enough), but lack the simple means of dragging one or more route icons/points if I want a route to (a) simply be made more interesting and/or (b) make comparison routes for consideration.

Any thoughts out there in ForumLand that might help me find what I'm wanting?

Many thanks. Much appreciated.

Google maps. No lie.

Enter one address. It finds it. Click directions and enter the other address. It finds a route. Click and drag on the route to change it, including to add stops. Click and drag to change the order of stops or to change to going in the opposite direction.

Bing maps works the same way.
