Yahoo! Maps Driving Directions

Enter driving directions for multiple locations, map out the route for your day, etc. Good functionality -- even get roundtrip directions for those places with one-way streets.

http://maps.yahoo.com/dd

Enter your information & click on the Get New Directions button. From there, you can enter multiple addresses, zoom in, select borrower at a specific address (unit #) -- (if there's more than one person at the same address, like condos).

This is a beta version, but I'm loving it!!!

Invest in GPS. You'll love GPS even better.

I've been using GPS for over two years and cannot even imagine doing this job without it.

I like Microsoft Streets and trips. Its a computer program, not a website, so the program is faster, and i find it more accurate then mapquest.

I did use GPS on vacation, and i found that very useful. I like finding places on my own however, with computer directions. Kinda like that not stopping at a gas station type thing.

Hi, Tina
Where do you purchase your GPS from? I have been shopping around the last two weeks comparing costs. Mapquest can have one wrong turn and it will definitely mess you up.
Thanks in advance.

I purchased it from eCost. They also gave me a surprise coupon for $25.00 when I was checking out.

Here's the link for all the GPS that they sell on their site:

I've been using the beta version for a while, too, and have been very happy with it, with few exceptions. I find Yahoo is updated more frequently than Mapquest and is more accurate - if not perfect! (At least in my area.) You can even get current traffic conditions on it, although I've yet managed to find the time to use that feature. It's serving the purpose for me quite well until I decide it's time to invest in GPS. (I think I'll wait until prices come down some more...)

Forgot to mention that sometimes the beta version freezes up and won't print. grrrrrr!
