I use Google maps. Also, especially when I know I'm going to be looking for a house in the dark, I go to the Satellite view and count the number of roofs between the corner and the house I'm going to. Of course, that only works in area like Colorado where the trees are shorter and most housing developments are not in heavily wooded areas. I haven't had any assignments in the mountains so I'm not sure how the Satellite view would work there.
I purchased a GPS last year and that's now my main tool, but I still look on Google and count the roofs. I've had the GPS take me to the wrong house before. |
