Route or trip planning software for Linux?

[marthamydear]

I love Linux. In fact, I wiped Windows off my computer and my computer has never worked this well even when new.

I do miss Rand McNally's "Tripmaker," however which isn't available in Linux.

I've investigated "routeplanner" and "routeplanner-gnome" but when attempting to download am advised I
am lacking "Python." Being new to Linux I am not really sure of what this means.

Long and short...is there any good (read: free) software that is good for planning highway trips that is available on Linux? Thanks.

Foxtrot may be worth a look.

Oops. Omitting my version info shows my beginner's side.

I am using Linux Mint 15 Olivia with Caja 1.6.1 installed.
