George,
I typically rely on a single website when planning my rover adventures:
http://qthlocator.free.fr/index.php
Originally F6FVY put it together but it was later updated F5UKW. You can enter your home six digit grid and then work you way down to the areas you will be visiting. It utilizes the Google API which means you can look at map or satellite views.
On my phone (Android) I utilize an application called LocatorDROID to tell me my 6 digit grid plus heading and distance to other grids.
The QRZ.com GridMapper (www.qrz.com/gridmapper) will convert LAT/LON to grid but I still prefer the QTHLocator site referenced above.

I'm planning a trip this spring and plan on working some of the hard grids west of me. I'm in EM59. I'm looking for a program that I can figure the grids both ways. Type in my longitude and latitude and get the grid. Type in the grid and know the longitude and latitude of that grid. If anyone knows of a program it sure would help me. I have a Mac or PC would prefer using the Mac. george wi9i _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
