Maps and driving directions...

[luvmylittleboy2003]

Which free service to you use online to get driving directions to somewhere? We have used mapquest in the past, but, I'm sure there are more.

I used to use Mapquest, but prefer Google Maps now. DH got me a Garmin GPS for Christmas and I love it!

Thank you!!
I have pulled up Mapquest, Yahoo and Google and everyone of them takes me a different way .
I called and received directions from the hotel and she said the way those 3 had us going was really bad, curvy, back roads.

I prefer Google maps to Mapquest. Some years ago (maybe it's changed by now), I Mapquested directions from CT to my cousin's house in Naperville, Illinois. All was fine until we were directed to get off the highway out there. The street we were supposed to take didn't exist! We finally just headed for the water tower and found the main road, and I called my cousin from there. When we arrived, both she and her DH looked at the directions and couldn't figure them out either.

I like gas buddy. It will tell you where you need to stop for gas and where the cheapest gas is at at that location. Nifty feature.

I like Yahoo maps. I used to date someone who lived in a real small town. I looked up directions to get to his place and only Yahoo maps knew of the town!!

I have the best luck with Google. Mapguest directions are more complicated than they need to be (for me).

Thanks everyone!
I also tried AAA Trip Tik and I think they follow along the same lines as yahoo or google - can't remember which one .
I ended up just calling the resort and getting the directions from them and guess what - they were totally different than any of the sites .

I prefer Google maps. And if have a GPS, you can download data to it.
