Multimap directions UK

Multimap directions should not be your only source of UK directions. 

Triangulate Multimap directions with Google Maps directions, MapQuest directions, or other directions providers. This will help eliminate errors, and lead you to features that Multimap does not offer. For instance, compare Multimap directions with Google draggable driving directions:

Google draggable driving directions supplement Multimap directions with a flexible, visual tool for altering your route instantaneously until you find the best route for you.

Multimap directions v. other driving directions

• Multimap directions are good, but driving directions from other companies should be considered.

Multimap directions provide good, basic driving directions. For example, as the video in the last section showed Google gives you the added value of draggable driving directions. Google, like Multimap, determines your country and provides links for commonly used journeys.

Ask, MSN and Yahoo, also provide unique features for their driving directions

• Get as many details as possible from different sites so you always have comprehensive driving direction for dealing with any eventuality.

One problem with Multimap is its lack of features. To add landmarks to your driving directions, check business, hotel and tourist sites in the areas you are travelling to.

Google provides a Street Level View, which can show you to distinctive buildings on your planned route. This can give you peace of mind when you actually see these buildings as you drive the route. And if they look really interesting you can plan an interesting break to your journey!

But don't forget Google's competitors, Yahoo shows a detailed map with a large scale map, which is great for integrating a long journey with the streets around you at a particular time.

Multimap directions - features

Multimap directions allow you to plan a route for speed or scenery. 

• You can print your route
• You can save and share your routes. 

The Multimap directions facility is not called Multimap driving directions, like some of the competition (e.g. MapQuest driving directions) -- this is because it includes more than just driving directions, it famously includes:

• Walking directions

As avid walkers we love this feature at 321Books, and it gets a gold star from us.
