Many map products exist online to help in trip planning. I ran across a web site that has a unique “hybrid” feature that lets you roll across the aerial terrain view and see exactly where the roads are. If it isn’t useful for a particular trip you are planning, it is at least pretty cool to play with. TIP: Go to www.multimap.com
Road Trip Maps and Driving Directions
When planning a road trip it is most important to have a detailed map with driving directions on hand. All the major search engine sites have map routing resources, including Google and Yahoo. Even though they are getting more advanced all the time, I am sure we have all found errors when following them. I have even had Never Lost® in a Hertz car confused. I would like to provide a link to a great mapping service through AAA of Michigan. You do not have to be a member to utilize this service. It is one of the most detailed map instruction sites I have come across. TIP: Print a detailed route map for your next road trip at AAA of Michigan and click on the “Go to Internet Trip Tik”.
