    Finding Locations or Travel Routes on Maps

  • Yahoo Maps (for locating an address on a map layout--and faster than the one with the simulated wood border)
  • How Far Is It? (Find out the distance from one place in the world to another. Clicking then on the map hypertext will show these two cities marked out on a map; and if the cities are both in the US, clicking on the hypertext for Trip Quest, will automatically give you the road directions, with mileage.)
  • Auto Pilot (similar to Trip Quest)
  • MapQuest (with a link to Trip Quest, which will show you the roads to use on a trip, and even the mileage from one road to the next. Impressive!)
