The Best Maps on the Web

Planning a road trip these days means turning to the Web for maps and
point-to-point directions.

MapQuest long has been in the forefront of readable directions for
getting from A to B. Now it also offers a fast Multi-Stop Route Builder
program that allows you to add up to 10 locations and print a detailed
map and route directions.Ê

Google Maps lets you view a road map, aerial map or hybrid of the two.
And it quickly finds businesses and attractions.Ê

The new AskCity is worth a look, as is MSN's Live Local Search, which
has 3D maps.

But Yahoo! Maps offers the best features, like pinpointing gas stations.
And if you're looking for pizza in, say, Sheboygan, Wis., two dozen
pizzerias will pop up, with directions. Yahoo! Maps also shows real-time
construction and traffic delays.
