Re: Mapquest!

Yeah but it's free Jim ...... LOL.

I never used the others and don't see the point in some gadget on my dash, but then I know my way round here better than the UK and Europe. You cover different areas all the time and no doubt have to enter city centres every trip so you need something better.
Did you get my text on thursday by the way ?

mapquest, in maine, it's utterly shite...they normally say go down I-495 instead of I-295 which adds another 45 min to the journey to Boston, and a bunch of the roads have the wrong exit numbers as well as being a tad shite with one ways...

Usually the first half of the directions are fine and then the second half falls apart. It usually skips streets out altogether so you could be riding around in circles all day.

Re: Mapquest!

I don't actually use the driving direction part of it Bob, I just get a map showing the actual location with a star on it, I know the routes well enough to get me with a few miles of most locations and take it from there.
The directions are always for cars anyway. For instance ;- If I ever need to go anywhere in souther NJ it always tells me to use the G S Parkway ..... Trucks are not allowed on most of that route.
