Paper roadmaps often mark scenic roads, the ones I had marked it with a green line following the street, I always made sure to drive those roads, the recommendation never failed.
You write a Lot about Digital Entertainment, make sure to plan your route so you have plenty entertainment on the outside of your car. Don't just drive highways, they're boring and ugly and show you nothing of the place you're traveling through.
Make sure you're at least a little familiar with your vehicle, like where is the breaker box, how do I access the spare tire, while you're at it check your insurance for road assistance.
If you're planning on going to more rural areas make sure to check for gas stations, bringing a 10l fuel canister saved my ass more than once on my trips through rural eastern Europe.
If you're traveling through different countries, with different languages, write down some phrases like 'hello', 'thank you' 'gasoline/gas station'. People were more friendly and often excited when we showed an effort to learn some phrases in their native Languages.
The restaurants packed with locals are the ones you want to visit, especially when it's a lot of blue collar folk there, usually the food there is cheap and good, the locals will be there for a reason.
If you're camping check the laws and make sure you know how to start and maintain a safe fire, after a long day of traveling you'll want to unwind a little, a little music, a fire, some card games are ideal for that, you can read/watch stuff when you're in bed.
