Pretty self explanatory, the last couple of times i've used MultiMap i've ended up around 10 miles from the bloody location.

Thanks

how about the RAC Route Planner? It'll occasionally take you to Hollyhead via Holland and the suggested journey times a bit too optimistic, but apart from that it's alright.

I find Googlemaps to be the best, they have good clear maps which you can follow without a problem Thumbs Up

Seconded, clearest mapping directions

No real options tho, I remember when I had my 125 I wanted to exclude motorways but couldn't, and I can't follow the maps on other sites.

AA have the best routing, but I much prefer Google's maps.
I tend to make my own route, ensuring I take a zoomed out map of the route (or part of the route I don't know) and a street level map of the area around my destination - so I can pull in to a side street and see exactly where I am. Thumbs Up

Killa this thread isn't just for you. I think you'll find quite a few members, like me will use this thread to see what alternative map sites there are on the internet.

Another vote for google maps here. Prior to that I used the AA for route planning, then Multimap for a map.
