When using google for directions...?
I want to go to a bunch of garage sales tomorrow morning. I'm using craigslist to see where all of them are and I typed all the addresses into google directions (i just kept hitting the 'add destination' button) The directions take me all over the place though. Is there a way on google to make them take me to all of them in the shortest way possible?|||You'll probably have to enter them manually in the order you want to go to them. You may be surprised to know that computers have a pretty hard time with this kind of thing. It's known as the "Traveling Salesman" problem, and it's related to lots of different issues in computers and math. Some mathematicians devote their whole careers to the math associated with this problem.|||I'd suggest using mapquest for directions.
Can you get directions on Google Earth?
I was wondering if you can get directions on Google Earth? If so, how? Thanks. :)|||Don't know cause I don't use it, but I use the site below and it works great. I actually think it may be using the Google maps...but I find this site easy to use.|||i suggest mapquest.|||You can get coordinates that you can put in a GPS but idk about directions. |||you can on maps.google.com
Is there a way to work out the shortest directions between multiple destinations with google maps or similar?
I am going lookin at cars and I want to make my trip as efficent as possible. I have about 8 that I am looking at all in different places in the city. Is there any program, online or downloadable, I can enter all my destinations and it can work out my most efficent way of getting to all my destinations.|||Tom Tom does it for me
Does Google maps put stupid things in directions for fun?
For example get directions from Japan to China and they will tell you to jet ski 486 miles across the pacific ocean. Why?|||I don't know but heres another few
Change japan to china to walking and read steps 228-231
Japan to california, usa, walking step 215|||%26gt; "Does Google maps put stupid things in directions for fun?"
No.

No.
In Google Earth Plus, how can I get directions from Point A to B, via a third Point C?
When I ask Google Earth for directions from Appletown to Bananaburg, I don't like the directions it gives me. I want to be able to tell Google Earth that I want to go to from Appletown to Bananaburg via Canteloupe City.|||If I'm understanding your question correctly, point C makes no difference at all. Just give Google the information of "from this point to that point". Hope this helps
On Google Earth or Yahoo Maps are your directions to your house messed up.?
The directions are so wrong that they don't even have a clue as to where my house is. Resently someone tried to follow these and they got hopelessly lost.|||The maps have not been updated yet. I searched my house once and everything is like from 5-7 years ago.
Is there a way of copying a google directions map? (to save eg as a jpeg file or something)?
i want to get a map with directions, but i can't find a way to copy it off|||Bring the image up on the screen, then on your keyboard somewhere above the arrows, there should be a button that says Print Scrn
Push that, then open up a paint document and push paste.
Then you can trim it and whatever.
Hope I Helped.
:)|||copy and paste into word or just print it off!|||One way I have found of doing this is to use "print screen" command on the keyboard. It's not perfect, but it works well enough to email someone a map for example. You can crop the unwanted bits of the image in Photo Editor or something.
I also have used Adobe Acrobat to 'print' the image to a PDF file, then I selected and copied the bit that I wanted. But for that you have to have the full version of Acrobat.

PS - how come someone gave this answer a 'thumbs down'? Was there something wrong with it?|||What version of windows are you using?

How do I verify Driving directions I got on a site like google maps or mapquest?
Hello,
I do not own a GPS or cell phone with maps so I have to go off internet directions for now. I want to go to the Playdium in MIssisauga Ontario (from Niagara Falls, NY), I am unfamiliar with canadian highways. I would like to make sure these directions are correct before setting out, because sometimes sites like mapquest tend to not be specific enough or they lead you in a wrong direction sometimes, how do I do this, thanks!|||Best to check 2 or 3 sites. i have found this one to be best.|||pull out a real map from AAA or CAA, compare and start driving|||None of the websites can be 100% accurate, so you're gonna have to use ur intellect also when your going to places like these. If I were you, I would go to best buy or circuit city, and get a gps, these days they only cost 125 or 150, and they have all features...i bought one for 150, thats why I know. so, after that, if you dont feel like keeping it, you can go return it, after you come back...|||If you double check it with another site to verify it, or go into AAA. They usually give out maps for free.|||To verify, ask the location where you are going and be prpared for detours.|||Here's a link to the exact map of the Playdium. While I agree with others that MapQuest can be inaccurate at times, having a printout of the immediate area is better than having nothing at all.

HOw do I delete an ad or an article that is posted on yahoo and google. Can u give the seperate directions.?
Can you leave links or seperate directions how to to do this! For both yahoo and google!|||You can't. Those are controlled by yahoo and google.
That said, if there's something consistent about the ad you want to block, you can force your browser (as long as you're not still using explorer) to not display it on your machine using a bit of CSS code. Here's some basic instructions: http://www.floppymoose.com/

How do maps (like on Google or Mapquest) know exactly where a house is and are able to give driving directions
How do maps (like on Google or Mapquest) know exactly where a house is and are able to give driving directions to/from it?|||How does mapquest know where a house is?
Simple answer, they guess. Thats right, they guess. Mapquest has an algorithm called Geocoding which uses the US post office data (for US maps) to guess (quire accurately typically) the latitude and longitude of the address you specify. Geocoding takes the address and compares it to the number of addresses the US post office says is on the current block, and guesses based upon how many addresses there are and the address supplied. For example, suppose you ask for 135 Main St. Now mapquest looks up the info it has for Main St as it is supplied by the US post office, which consists of the address on the end of the block (have you ever seen the signs that say "400" on a street sign?). Now suppose that 135 Main lies on the block that starts at 100 Main and ends at 400 Main. This means there are 300 addresses on this block. Each address is assumed to take 1/300th of the street space. Thus 135 Main will lie 35/300th's of the distance from the 100 end of the block to the other side of the block. Mapquest knows the latitude and longitude of the intersections and computes the lat/long of the address using these numbers. Further explanation here: http://www.mapquest.com/features/main.ad鈥?/a>
How is mapquest able to give driving directions?
Again, they guess. They have very good ways of guessing, but without a massive amount of computation it is not possible to give a perfect answer. Typically the method used for such driving directions is an example of something called a "greedy algorithm". I would hazard a guess that they actually use a form of an A* ("A Star") algorithm, but the technicalities are not important. Basically the algorithm takes a location and looks at all possible directions a person can go if they are at a specified location and chooses the direction which gets the person closer to their goal. They call this a "greedy" algorithm because it continually tries to get closer to the goal. Typically this type of search arrives at the best solution. Other considerations such as travel time are taken into consideration in the real calculations.

Is there a website like map quest or google map for Bus Routes Directions?
Is there some sort of a website, where you type in whatever address you're going into, but instead of 'by car' directions, they'll put in 'by bus' directions? I tried it with Google Maps, but they don't have information on my regions's bus routes.|||There are a few sites out there, but they're only in the development stages and not very accurate. See: http://www.ttc-tripplanner.ca or http://myttc.ca .
Another option is to use this TTC-Google map: http://crazedmonkey.com/toronto-transit-鈥?/a> You can't get directions to and from places (like in Google Maps) but if you put in your starting/ending address you can see the TTC routes that service the area, and then plan accordingly.
And, as Jon M mentioned, the TTC is working on a trip planning feature for their website which will hopefully be up soon.
Hope this helps.|||Currently, you can look up public transport information for the Toronto area on The Toronto Transit Commission website http://www3.ttc.ca/
It seems however that they are developing a "Trip Planner" for the site to make this task easier.

When you get directions from Google Maps, does it assume you're doing the speed limit?
Like in Canada the speed limit is 100 km/h on single lane highways and 110 km/h on double. Or does it assume you're doing 100 km/h the whole way?|||i know for me personally i dont ever base my trip by what google maps or mapquest or any of the map sites tell me. as far as driving time. take into consideration what time of the day youll be driving. what weather conditions youll be driving in. if your going to making any stops, etc. i would assume it baded on the slowest of the slowest drivers. i just used mapquest yesterday, it said i had an hour and 35 min trip ahead of me. i was there in under an hour. i left my house at 630 am and was there in about 45 min. mostly highway travel, but still. and even though it was a saturday and early morning driving, the same trip at 430 during the week would have taken me more than 2 or 2.5 hours. so there are alot of factors that come into play. just do alittle thinking before you drive and youll be fine|||Yes, I believe so.|||Google maps does use speed limits when that data is known. Otherwise, it uses the standard in the area for highway driving. Always allow at least an extra 10% driving time.|||Yes it assumes the speed limit for that given road (and usually takes into account how many traffic lights on that road, if applicable).|||wow! i guess its the posted limit. but i think yahoo maps are way way better than google or map quest.|||usually it assumes posted speed limit.
How Do I Save A Map With Directions that I Just Made On Google Maps?

How accurate is the time estimate on google map's Get Directions feature?
I am planning a roadtrip, and want to know approximately what town I will be in at midnight. How accurate is google map's time estimate?|||Yeah, they are ok depending on interstate/ highway involved. For short distances, they are all jacked up due to traffic problems
But as stated, you gotta factor in your driving habits. does your group stop to pee every 1 .5 hrs?|||well with any of them they dont factor stopping for fuel or to eat and at speed of 55 so its way off if add like 50 mph 100 miles wil be two hours would be closer|||its acually close but its rated at legal speed of 65 or 55 but you can estimate the time by the speed like your going 60 miles and 60 miles anhour it will take you a hour! so better way to git the right time is find out how many miles it is and avrage it to the speed you usually drive!|||I find it pretty good actually. I always stop more and take detours etc, but from all my travels, without any major traffic delays and following the legal speed limits it works fine for me.|||They are fairly accurate.
Add time for stops
If there is roadwork, traffic jams, then that much time will get added to the estimate

I wonder if I could save a map with directions with google maps?
Should I also have to have an internet plan if I'm using GPS bluetooth device ( the one you can attach it to your key chain ) connected to my phone? If no, how come the car GPS don't require an internet connection?
Thanks in advance|||I don't understand the second question about the GPS bluetooth device as I am not familiar with such devices.
However, the typical in-car Navigation devices have the maps all contained internally to the system. Granted, these maps will become slightly outdated as changes are made to roads, bridges, etc, but it shouldn't be that big of a deal for its purpose. The GPS signal just tells you where you are (that is quite simplified for what is actually happening). Google maps uses information on their servers to calculate the maps and display them since the processing for this is on their side and not yours.
As for saving a Google map, are you suggesting pulling map/directions on Google, then saving it to your car's navigation system or on your phone or something? I do not know if that is possible, although the link to the directions can definitely be forwarded to an email account which should be able to open the map/directions on a phone. I know of no Navigation systems that allow that, but I am hardly an expert on what features are available on new systems.

3) Delete all the stuff it has in there by default (unless by some random chance it's exactly what you want...)
4) Click inside box A. Right click on the first marker. Click "Directions from here".
5) Right click the second marker. Click "Add a destination".

What is the average driving speed for Google Maps directions?
They calculate it by assuming that you will be driving at the speed limit of the given roads.|||Most maps when getting directions ask you for the parameters you want.
Fastest, scenic, coastal, stops, diversions, motor ways or not, Tolls or not, A roads, B roads etc.
Then the software works it out using the parameters you have stipulated.
I have family in Cornwall about 300 miles away. I tried out of curiosity mostly, different route scenarios and found that there was a three hour difference between the fastest and the slowest times although the distance was within a 30 mile + or - difference.|||What the other guy said.
It takes no note of anything other than the legal limit for roads; so whether that road is a bullet straight hard top or a twisty single track road they'll say, in the UK, that you will be driving at sixty.

What is the longest distance mapquest, google or the others will give you directions for?
What is the longest distance mapquest, google, yahoo or the others will give you directions? Going from Fairbanks to Miami is pretty far. Does any service tell you the distance from Johannesburg to Tokyo with directions?|||your should try it out instead of waisting time asking us.|||Hi,
Google used to give you directions to swim across the Atlantic Ocean, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.
Easy Googler was able to successfully get directions from Sydney, Australia to Los Angeles, CA earlier this week (the source is below).
Google tells you to Kayak across the Pacific Ocean.
I'm sure you could make it longer by going from the other side of Australia to the other side of the USA.
Good Luck!

When obtaining directions on Google Earth, is there a way to avoid toll roads?
I'm trying to map out a trip in France, but I want to avoid toll roads and the Autoroute. Is there a way to use Google Earth to do that?|||Best directions are from mapquest. You can push a button that allows you to aviod tolls and shortest distance, and shortest time.
Do I really need to Kayak to Hawaii before Kayaking to Japan using Google Maps Directions?
Can't I just Kayak to Japan from Washington to make the trip shorter?|||See, that's what happens when you rely on those darn Google Map programs! And if you follow the directions as given, you're likely to wind up in New Zealand!
How can i get the driving directions between two points in my city with Google Maps API?
I have a problem, I don't know how to give driving directions between to random points inside a map of my city. If I use GDirections() object of Google Maps API, it shows only directions of a few known streets and objects in my city, and not for all :( Can someone help me please to figure it out.
Thanks anyway!|||I like Yahoo Maps.|||Why not use Mapquest?

How do I get google maps to stop rerouting my directions?
I am trying to make directions for a motorcycle ride and I want to make my own route by right clicking each turn. But after awhile google changes the route to a main road so it erases everything I've marked. Does anyone know how to make google maps not do this? Or do they know of a website where you can make your own route and get typed directions at the end?|||http://www.google.com/
Can I get directions on google maps on my mobile phone without internet connection?

Why does google earth/maps give you absurd directions?
THere's a Facebook group that tell's you to search for directions for america to china or japan to china.
And if you look at the actual directions on google, it tells to you jet ski over the atlantic, or kayak across the pacific.
Why does it say that??|||Because they're being funny. Google hides lots of easter eggs in their products. Here's a list of lots of them.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/142620/go鈥?/a>
The things they do with all that extra money|||They make jokes about impossible driving directions that would happen over large bodys of water.|||Probably the Google devs having a joke|||idk maybe they said it before they had the transportation type. or ther're lyin. so ya

How to show WALKING not DRIVING directions via google maps?
Driving directions are great, but in a town of one way streets, when the goal is to walk from point A to point B, wanted to know if there is a way to show WALKING directions via google maps. Thanks.|||There isn't a simple way to do that, I haven't seen a feature that alternates between the 2, the closest I've seen is the "no highway" option.
Although, if you were to zoom in (at least it's like this on Mapquest) you can see arrows on one way streets showing the direction of traffic on that particular road.
Hope this helps.|||Not sure if this is going to get back to Frank or not, but the answer to your question is to google the following: google pedometer. It will bring up the link to a google maps hack which allows you to map distances walking. Below is the link.

|||use the driving directions but instead of driving just walk along the route|||Try Ask Maps for walking directions: http://maps.ask.com
There's also Google Transit, but only for a small number of places: http://www.google.com/transit
For England, there's http://www.walkit.com/|||If they don't offer this it will be a good idea to start thinking about it. Good Job!|||You can get the general directions and then use Google earth to plot out a path. Check www.walkscore.com/ to see how walkable is the place you are wanting to go.|||Google currently does not offer walking directions. I suggest using the driving directions, printing it, looking at the google map and then just jot down some direction edits. There shouldn't be to many changes.
You know what's funny though? Google directions from like New York, NY to London, England...google will tell you to swim accross the Atlanic.

Why does Google directions say kayak across the Pacific Ocean?

Making flash picture follow directions of google maps?
I am trying to write a flash app. The app will have a google map object. i want to make a flash scene where a picture follows a google map direction from point a to point b. How would i go about doing this?|||Well, the first thing you need is to familiarize yourself with Google Maps API for Flash.

Can you ask for directions in google earth for the iphone or ipod Touch?
I downloaded the application but dont know if you can ask for directions. Maps has directions but just wanted to know if google earth does.|||Yes you can get directions on the google earth app.
When you get directions from Google Maps, do they assume you're driving the speed limit?
For example, if I get directions from google maps, how fast do they assume i'm driving? If it estimates my highway trip to be 3 and a half hours, is it under the presumption that I'm going 65? Should I expect to arrive earlier than the estimated time if I usually average between 75-79 on the highway?|||They also consider traffic so you could be faster without speeding.|||They go by the posted speed limit on every section of road
I seriously doubt if you average 75-79 mph on the highway
If that is indeed the case then your mean speed is in the 90+mph range|||Yes they go by the posted speed limits so if you speed and don't hit rush our Traffic you should shave off a few minutes.

Does google maps directions take into consideration traffic lights when it gives you an estimated time?
I just want to know because it says it will take me 30 minutes to drive to my new school according to google earth directions, but this doesn't take into consideration traffic lights does it?|||No. It just works based on the distance and the average speed of the vehicle (train/bus/car) you are travelling with.
Google directions...?
im looking for the halfway point between johnson vermont and burlington vermot. how would i use a direction website to fing out where that midway point would be? i need the town half way between johnson and burlington. or if anyone knows what town that is they could just tell me. thanks much|||It looks like Underhill to me...
(or maybe North Underhill depending on your route)|||is the distance important or is the halfway point time wise a factor to consider.
takes a bit more work.
you know the estimated time from start point to end point,as Day Tripp said underhill seems half way . enter start point to underhill .get the drive time .work forward or back till you balance the time factor.
