I'm not sure if this is better here or in Off Topic, so feel free to move it accordingly.

I previously asked this here in the Google Maps thread: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=11718.msg2889117#msg2889117 However, it is not possible, based on the response I received. I've also taken a look at Bing Maps, and it's not possible there, either. I've started making maps of my drives to show the routing I took; however, I do two separate ones, one showing the drive there and one showing the drive back. A lot of times, I don't come back the same way I went there—for example, on a drive to Wenatchee, Washington, I took US 97 Blewett Pass on the way there, but I came back I-90 Ryegrass—and even if I do go back the same overall way I came—for example, Snoqualmie Pass—I'll sometimes take a different way to get back to the same overall corridor.

So, I'll ask more broadly: Are there any map programs that can accomplish this?

While two separate maps work just fine, for the sake of organization and simplicity, what I want to do is just have one map, but label the drive there in, say, green and the drive back in, say, yellow.

So, instead of having these two separate maps:





I would have just this one, but with different colors to distinguish the return routing from the routing used to get there, especially if it's significantly different:

I think my answer in this thread would allow you to accomplish that.
usends.com - US highway endpoints, photos, maps, and history

Felt.com is something I discovered recently, that has tools similar to Google My Maps.
