My observation is that the same information is on a 1950s paper map. If you took a picture of it and listed the places on your trip, then your travel friends could figure things out.

Why do you need more?

The three limitations are 1) the distances are listed piecemeal, rather than the total distance per segment; 2) the major stops on your itinerary are not listed on the map; and 3) the specific route isn't highlighted on the map.

If this were a paper map you could mark up the map directly, or put a clear plastic or glass sheet on top of the map and write the annotations on that, or use those paper tab stickers people use to mark places in books. Or I could draw a paper sketch of the distances and locations, to the same scale as the map, and place them side-by-side with the image of the original map.

These would handle all cases #1 and #2, and sometimes #3 (I used to use a highlighter to record which distinct routes I traveled on) - except that most people aren't so analog, and getting good paper maps is pretty hard these days.

In a digital world, I would take the screenshot, bring it into a graphics package (I use OmniGraffle) and highlight things. That would get #1 and #2, but yes, tracing the route with a mouse is tedious. Then again, for the places you listed there really is only one obvious route.

Better would be to use a tablet and stylus which are designed for sketching. A few circles, some lines, and some numbers - done!

But you want something different.

Why do your travel friends need distances? Why isn't a photo of a sketch good enough? Or is it that you want to do everything on your phone, and can't sketch well using it?

I first did that section of New Mexico back in 1993 with a 50-state paper road atlas, so I'm also finding it hard to understand what else you need for your planning.

Going back to the affordances lost by the transition from paper maps to digital - it's really easy to affix little arrow stickers to a paper map, to record the places you want to visit. And modern digital maps don't show segment distances like the old ones did, because they assume you'll have the mapping tool figure out the whole distance for you.

In October (the third Saturday in October to be precise) you can visit the Trinity Test site. I did that once, but to be honest I didn't find it all that interesting.

You could do a trip up north - there's the Bandera Volcano Ice Cave, and the Wild Spirit Wolf Sanctuary in the west, then up to Chaco Canyon, over to Jemez Springs, or go further north through Abiquiú to soak at Ojo Caliente, then over to Taos, and down, or further east through Cimarron Canyon State Park, which I thought was very pretty.
