So I have less and less time going to my north to south tour starting in upper Michigan and I have some general maps giving supposed bike routes but I can't figure them out from the graphic to google maps. I see all kinds of advice on which equipment to use, but I can't seem to find any good advice on figuring out a long distance route, besides that you need to have a good map. I was wondering if anyone knew of any detailed routes, or ways to figure them out.

Google maps can only seem to figure out routes that would likely get me killed. One thing I want to do is avoid any big cities. I want to camp the vast majority of my nights and it seems like massive areas are nothing but farm land for days without two sticks to rub together.

Any advice on figuring out routes would be amazing! I'm starting in upper michigan and ending around florida. The starting point and ending point has plenty of wiggle room, I'm going to be dropped off a ways in to get started.
