Trip tic from Fodor's

Does Fodor's have a trip tic section so that I can print one out. Have looked but unable to find anything that could give me a trip tic like AAA does. Any suggestions appreciated and thanking you in advance.

Have not found this on Fodors, but the 2 best known airline booking sites have something called "driving Directions" or Maps - I can't use the names here because when I do my post gets deleted.

Denise,

Try www.mapquest.com and click on "Road Trip Planner". This allows you to enter a variety a stops to and from your destination. I'm not sure about how up to date the maps are and whether they inform you of construction, etc like AAA does -- my guess is probably not.

I like either mapblast.com or freetrip.com better than mapquest. With both you can print out pretty detailed driving instructions including places to eat and stay.

Denise,
I have used both of the aforementioned trip planners. However, they will not tell you if the roads have detours, construction, etc. Before I head out , I call AAA and ask them about my route and they always give me up-to-date information.

I didn't make it clear- freetrip has an hourly update on road conditions, but AAA will tell you immediately if there's an accident on your route and where the detour is.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have used mapquest and do not like their maps or their directions. Will try mapblast and freetrip.com. Again thank you one and all.
