I use my trusty USA map for the "big picture" then start looking for stops (gas and RON) using my GPS. I also note any places of interest along the roadway.
By the time I leave I've got my out and in routes "roughed" out. They are supplemented by current state maps I acquire at first Welcome Center inside the state borders. Using the WCs serves several purposes: (1) Pit stop (2) Get most current state map (3) Chat with WC host/hostess for suggestions near/along my route of travel (4) Discount coupons and tourist brochures (5) Weather conditions and possible road construction/detours.

Best wishes on your trip planning and your trip.
Yeah, I found out that not much after dark all the vacancy signs in those little towns get turned off. Also kind of tough to find everything at night. So don't overload your mileage, get a reservation before you leave and if you're gonna be late at night, call. Always seems those little stops eat up a lot of time.
