What's wrong with it? 

I use Google Maps

[THECORBYLOON]

I've put in Belfast to Londonderry, it gives me the options of directions or map and both work.

What do you see?

[bookbinder]

Is this what you are trying to use?

bookbinder - it is looking for VIA - I dont know what mean

[barry1010]

Via just means 'through'.

So if you wanted to go direct from Belfast to Dublin ignore VIA.

If you wanted to stop at Carlingford you would put Carlingford in the VIA box. 

You can ignore VIA if you simply want to go from A to B

I've just tried it on the AA route planner.

Enter where you want to start in the FROM box

Where you are going in the TO box

Then click the PLAN ROUTE box

I didn't choose "via" and it worked for me.

[bookbinder]

"via" means "through" or "by way of".

For example, if you tell the AA route planner that you want to go from York to Bradford, the planner might ask "do you want to go via Leeds?" That means, do you want to go by way of, or through, Leeds?

LOL - didn't use anything - just used people on the roadways - they were great and I got to my destination

So glad to have been of help. 

[JinnyJoan]

perhaps perhaps perhap Doris Day   ah perleeeese - I do know the meaning of VIA.
