Get door-to-door driving directions to any destination in North America from Microsoft’s Expedia travel site. You can choose the quickest, shortest or most scenic route. Directions include mileage and travel time for each segment, and you can view a variety of maps, including an overview map and simple, yet effective, step-by-step maps. You also can save itineraries to a personal folder. The directions are very accurate, but you’re not going to learn about any sneaky back routes.
This site does not offer door-to-door guidance but does provide clear, concise, town-to-town driving directions throughout the United States and Canada. The site has a number of other helpful features, including the ability to avoid certain highways, bridges, toll roads or tunnels when mapping out a trip. A mountain directory advisory alerts travelers to roads with steep grades. You also can book hotels along the way, get a list of points of interest and link to the Weather Channel’s site to check the forecast for portions of the route. The downside: If you want a map of the route, you’ll have to pay for it. Wonder if Free Trip has heard of truth in advertising.
In most instances, the door-to-door directions on MapBlast! are impressively precise, but at times the precision is paired with vagueness for humorous results (such as “go 64.67 miles south to Lincoln Street”). MapBlast! also makes it easy to get directions to and from U.S. airports, stadiums, parks, shopping malls and famous landmarks. Go to Locate Anything for those features. Other neat features include the ability to download MapBlast! to handheld computing devices and to locate businesses and ATMs near any address. Mac users with Internet Explorer may have trouble using some features of this site.
It’s a snap to get town-to-town driving directions using CyberRouter’s simple interface. Plus, you can choose the quickest or the shortest route. The difference? The quickest route usually relies on freeways, while the shortest route opts for two-lane and often more scenic roads–of course, travel on them is slower. There aren’t a lot of frills here, but the upside is that you can view detailed maps provided by the American Automobile Association.
