Default Tour Planning for Europe

Hi,

I just found this cool site in the US that offers a great service for
planning your next trip to Europe or in the US. It is a similar
service to Mapquest, but they are 100% interactive. I love it and use
it all the time now when I plan my tours to Europe or within the US.
If you are interested check it out (www.us.map24.com)

best,

Jens

Of course once you load it if you want europe you have to select that.
It's not too bad, although I wish you could increase the size of the map
to get more at once at a given detail level.

That is utterly superb! I put in the name of my street (a very minor
one), and the town, and it found it straight away. Nice slick
interface too!

In some cities (mostly in France, Belgium) it even shows satellite
photos of all the streets. In this part Mappy.Com beats
ViaMichelin.Com

Not so good, it doesn't recognise Dutch postcodes. It spells at least
one Dutch place name wrong. It uses the word "rejoin" instead of
"join".

Both
http://www.de.map24.com/

and

http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichel...MaHomePage.htm

are better
