RouteMaster - Stumbled on this from the AAA So Cal site, was momentarily delayed from my task by the nice graphic and now again by the same.

So here's the better of two available map/directions from La Mesa, CA to Chandler, AZ (a very decent one day hall...got friends that do it twice in a weekend). The maplets (or map-lites) are use-less. But some freeway markings and city names on the bigger map and ditch the two other ones. Directions are directions. Do 1 page of maps and one page of directions. Did I say bigger maps?

The turn-by-turn map view had even more useless maps. And no way to go from a city to a national park or other touristy type place. The Continue Route feature (to Grand Canyon South) was clever. All together usable but didn't do a lot for me. Need more features. Keep looking. A ways to go. How far is it? Too soon to know. Bookmarks blogged here. Ah...

I'm looking for the right on-line mapping site and saw this splash page. I thought it looked cool. Let's see what it's got inside.
