I had this site and it is only have one window for putting an address and I need 2 windows to type from and to where I am going. If I click from your site 'Get Directions' it will tell me to install Galaxy map and its loads of crap. Thanks anyway

It doesn't tell me to install anything. Maybe you have Galaxy already? See, the bitch just asking me about A and B address and THEN goes Directions Found! Please Install the new free MapsGalaxy for Microsoft Internet Explorer© to get your maps and driving directions. Install Now

It might be because I use Chrome. The necessary software may be part of Chrome. Don't know. Is it a business you're trying to find?

Do you have a Samsung Galaxy phone? Is it asking you to get the Samsung Galaxy map App? That seems reasonable to me.
Did you try to Google the address you want to go to and get directions that way bypassing the Microsoft maps?

I go to google maps and print them before leaving home.
I'm an OF and still living in the early 20th century.
Or I stop by an AAA office and get official maps.
I'm REALLY an OF

I suppose saying I use a map, and yes I know how to read it and fold it back up, doesn't help? My phone's a bitch so that's no use whatsoever. And driving into Boston sucks on a good day so I don't.

And, how safe is it fiddling with a cell phone map in traffic in a city ?? Any safer staring at the one in the dash of your car? None of the damn things understand the word "detour" if you hit a construction site. In the old days..there was a horse....and the horse knew where to go when you did not

DS2 got in an accident, all because he couldn't find the intersection he was looking for. Turns out, those two roads don't cross, despite what mapquest thinks. There is a building in the way. Google maps is not much better. My employer's location is shown on the wrong block. Wouldn't you love to be the homeowner who has people walking in your door thinking it is the public library?

I wouldn't trust MapQuest to get me around the corner. So maybe you are lucky it won't let you get directions. Don't know where you are going but have you tried calling final destination and ask them ?
