There are these really cool things called "maps." Rarely seen these days and essentially unknown to younger people, they are large sheets of paper that fold up into a nice handy size. They show all the roads at a glance. Best of all, they don't need to be recharged and don't require a network connection or GPS.
Get one and look for squiggly lines. It's as simple as that.
This is how I planned my last epic bike journey 10 years ago. I rode from Connecticut out to Indianapolis for the MotoGP race in a more or less straight shot, but I had a good 10 days to get back. I went to AAA and got all the maps of the eastern US north of North Carolina and east of the Mississippi. I unfolded them and looked for squiggly lines. Most were in West Virginia so that's where i went.
Totally worth it. Total distance covered about 2,600 miles on an 08 Ninja 250. With a bum leg that required walking on a cane, no less.
