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 ?

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.
