People, addresses, and phone numbers are readily available to me.

Does the typical tourer need this much detail? I don't think so. If you're on an ACA route and have their maps, you have just about all the info you need. My itinerary helps me day to day in other little details of the route. For instance, west of Berea, and westbound there is a very easy to miss turn...Jack Turner Rd (I believe it is), my itinerary alerts me to what to expect from the the looks of the turn. I was riding with several people that day, and I had warned them of the turn off. Three of them missed it anyway, but those near me did not. My itinerary has a multitude of little bits of info like that.

Yeah, like I said, winters are cold here!
