Same basic thing, but without voice directions. I've looked a few times at those magellan navigation systems. Even <a href="http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20060604/3398/">wrote about it here</a>.

Have you ever use an in car GPS? The are cool because if you take a wrong turn they redirect you based on the next turn you can take to get back on track.

The first time I traveled the 8 hour drive, I used mapblast.com or one of those (I don't remember which one). What a mistake that was! Driving south on #97 it told me to turn right and drive though Omak, WA - traffic lights and all. Then loop back to the highway a couple hundred yards ahead of where I left the highway.

I don't know if backtracking would be faster, because I've never been that route before. I believe 95 is mostly 2 lane the whole distance, but I believe that there are stretches that are 65 speed limit. And in Oregon, if you are on 2 lane , it's 55. So you might make it quicker taking 95 south. That’s a tough one TDavid. I don’t know if backtracking would be faster, because I’ve never been that route before.

Though mapping often will take you the round about(not to be confused with "a round about") way within downtown cities. I've actually found it to be more correct, within 1/10 of a mile.
