  • do you want a map or a list of directions?

    I always use the rac routefinder which lists the directions and a simple map, I find it easy to understand and very straight forward! easy for non driving passengers who are useless at directions! (those are the ones I have anyway :rotfl:) also simple enough to follow when driving alone!
    finally debt free and want to keep it that way!!

    map and directions please

    the passenger will be able to read out the info while we drive

    are all route finders trustworthy?
  • I have used both the rac and aa but find the rac one so much better! have found them fine (apart from one occasion where a new roundabout that was built, but even then it was pretty obvious!)

    I normally use the road signs and have my passenger read the route, that way I can be doubley (sp?) sure Im going the right way and it makes sure they stay awake!!!!

    To paraphrase Voltaire, I disagree with everything finallydebtfree!! says but will defend to the death his right to say it. :-) IMHO, I rate the AA website route finder better.

    I find https://www.viamichelin.com to be the best.
    I really must stop loafing and get back to work...

    To be honest I don't find any of the ones available to be very good. They seem to rely on you having a rough idea of the route to enable you to put in enough "vias" to get a decent route ! They will give you a route - but don't rely on that being the shortest or the quickest.

    A £1.99 road atlas from Wilko is still the best.

    Problem with the printabe routes is that once you have made a mistake and gone wrong, unless you track back, then rest of the directions are useless. A road atlas is the safest bet (unless you can afford a Tomtom)

    Printed route itineraries aren't my cup of tea, there's just too much info - I preferred [in pre sat-nav days] to use a simple list of road/jcn numbers that I need to be using along with the various places that will be signposted en route.

    However, if I was to use a comprehensive printed route plan, I'd go for http://www.mappy.com above others I've seen

    I prefer the AA one - but had only used rac and aa before this thread!!

    Have bookmarked the others mention for when i need a route next time.
    Debt free May 2016 (without the support of MSE forum users that would never have been possible - thank you all)
