Driving maps?
I have been using mapquest to print out how to get from location to location.
It is kind of a pain juggling 3 (or more) different print outs - especially when you're looking at the wrong one while driving, talking on the phone and slurping down a venti latte.
I was wondering if anyone know of a site where you can list more than two addresses to get round trip directions.
For example, home to 1st signing, 1st signing to 2nd signing, 2nd signing to drop box, drop box to home.
If such a thing exists please let me know. If not please don't steal my $1M idea!

Have you thought about using a Thomas Guide? I use one ALL THE TIME. Here is a link. Check it out. :o)

I have also been using Mapquest - have had more bad directions. I just now tried randmcnally. Great directions. I bet if you tried this, you could put in the address of your first signing and put in the address of your second signing etc. it would work for you.

Try Googles new maps. They are more up-to-date (at least here) than Yahoo maps, which is better (IMO) than Mapquest.

Oooo! I like the graphics! Up to now, I've found Yahoo maps to be the most accurate, too, but I think I might check this out to see how it compares. Another one to try is "http://www.mapsonus.com". It does allow for "intermediate destinations", and gives you the option to choose shortest, fastest, major highways, etc. However, the one time I did try it, the route it gave me wasn't the shortest or the fastest. Yahoo maps did give me what I thought to be the best way to go. (It can be interesting to compare from time to time....)

maps.com is another one, although I kinda like the google better too. They also have a neat satellite map section.

Sam: The program you want that will do exactly what you want is Microsoft Streets and Trips.
It will go from stop to stop and show mileage in between stops and total mileage. It's great and relatively inexpensive.

I agree with PA Notary II.
The feature you use is route planner.
I use this to plan and then as a back up to my GPS.
