Roger and all,
Regardless of the size of the town, if the MapQuest database isn't
corrupted, you can get a street map of that town. If you have the zip
code only, you can get a map and then zoom in for street names. The
Yahoo.com maps service seems to be working well right now.
Note, for those outside USA you may have to work to link to the USA
version of Yahoo ... the foreign versions may *not* have USA street
maps.
And -- if you go to the AAA web site you can download street maps from
there also. However, you can't do customized configuration of AAA maps
like you can with MapQuest, but you don't have to be a AAA member to
access the maps.
l.d.
