directions: Bought a GPS & Love It! - 07/07/08 11:18 PM

directions: Directions-Which site is the best? - 06/26/08 03:27 PM
Not everyone has GPS and so we have to rely on internet driving directions. I have been burned by Mapquest and so my site of choice is Google maps. Now don’t get me wrong, Google has let me astray too. There are pros and cons to every mapping site. Here are

There was an episode of The Twighlight Zone (probably a few episodes) that dealt with a computer who had become jealously in love with it's creator and messed up his life. Okay, my GPS hasn't gone to that level, but I did get the feeling it was trying to tell me

What are your thoughts on the use of directional arrows? What I tend to see is a arrow either pointing at the sky or at the ground. You tend to see 5 arrows on a corner and just maybe 1 is set out perfect. I have found them to be quite

Sometimes I'm shocked by the lack of attention to detail on the part of listing agents, and unfortunately sellers usually don't even realize it. There are at least 10-15 significant ways that a listing agent can differentiate themselves--and, by extension, the listed property, and they do not all involve spending more

Have you ever used GoogleMaps for directions? I use Google Maps all the time, and find it to be pretty good, but not quite as good as Mapquest's "Route Builder" ONE thing GoogleMaps will do, however, that mapquest will not do, is provide really good overseas directions... For example.... TRY THIS! 1. Go to
