We have all used MapQuest for
years, but today I discovered a new way to get quick answers to the question “How
far is it from X to Y ?”
www.distancesonline.com/ Distance On Line is a neat little website
that will tell you just that, and more.
It shows you the travel time in hours and minutes, and the average speed
you can expect to make (less than you would hope for, probably). It also allows you to enter the price of
gasoline, and it will compute your fuel cost to go from A to B. It also shows a step by step driving sequence, just
as Map Quest does. Maybe not as good,
hard to say. But for quickness, this
website beats them all. I used it twice
tonight to get my bearings on an upcoming trip to a place I have never been
before.
I like the Satellite mode as well, it shows a nice real estate view of where you are going, and you can easily scroll down (with the mouse wheel) onto individual homes (as I did on some homes on Sunset Beach, for example).
