How about : GPS Visualizer, using the free hand drawing tool. Not sure you can reopen a gpx and modify it once you built it.

I use excel to keep track of distances and maps.bing.com
I think you can lay down tracks in google earth too. Bing will do routing for you in most of the world. They just limit you on number of turns or something. For instance, you can't put in Bogota to Ushuaia, even though there is a continuous road connecting the two cities.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
