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

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”.
