davoso, cool graphics, but YIKES the directions they give!!!!! i went to 3 sites (yahoo, mapquest, and map24)
i requested directions for starting and ending addresses i travel VERY OFTEN...
yahoo gave me the exact directions i normally use.
mapquest gave me the same directions that someone advised me a few weeks ago that i should try now that it is 4 lane the entire way.
and map24, well YIKES, it gave me 2 different sets of directions in 2 different tries (one i asked for shortest route since the first result was the absolute worst (both time and mileage) that i had ever taken to get to my fathers house. the *shortest* request was no better, cuz it had approximately 50 extra turns in the route (not sure if it was something thru small cities or what, but afraid to try it to find out.....LOL
DID like the effects of the site tho, just not its intelligence
