Thanks CF I've never really liked that site.The wording always seems so faint and the size of the map isn't so big.Is it possible to open it up to full screen??
You can click the little arrow at the top left of the map (also on the blue bar) to get rid of the side bar and make the map full screen width. or you can download the google earth program which displays the map much larger and will also do directions.

Or both the AA and the RAC website have route planers on them.

Hi CF I have those progs already installed so I'll stick with them for now but getting back to my original post,what are the drawbacks,if any,by downloading a freebie such as Microsoft Autoroute?? Thanks again!!
Firstly, Microsoft Autoroute was not part of Windows XP. It may have been bundled with a new PC running Windows, and may even have been pre-installed for you, but it still wasn't free - its cost was just hidden away in the overall price.

Secondly, there is no harm at all in downloading and installing the free trial:

After 60 days, you can either buy it or not...
