If you have ever tried planning a trip using one of the online mapping services such as MapQuest or Google Maps, you are probably aware of how inaccurate they can be. With all the roads that no longer exist and mazes of turns, sometimes I think you are more likely to get lost with directions from those sites than with no directions at all.
On the other hand, AAA members have long been able to get very accurate directions from the AAA TripTik service, but you had to be a AAA member to use it. Well, my freebie loving friends -- AAA is now making the service free for everyone. Read this review by Susan Breslow Sardone, our Honeymoons and Romantic Getaways Guide for the details.

AAA free website appears to be ad intensive and relatively useless I am planning a road trip and could get no information that was usefull. I am not a member and do not plan to join AAA.
Try TripWiser.com http://www.tripwiser.com It is a new site that provides itinerary building capabilities for trips in the United Staes and they have incorporated the latest generation of Trip Tik into their application.
