I am not sure what problems you are having with mapquest. I find it one of the easiest sites to use with JAWS. In fact, it appears that they made changes in the site to make it more jaws friendly.
If you want directions from one place to another, go on to mapquest.com, hit insert 7 to get a list of links; when you hear directions or driving directions, hit enter. Then you go to a page where you fill out a form as to where you are and where you want to go. It will ask for address, state, city and zip code. Once you go into insert mode, fill in this data in each box and hit the tab key to go from box to box. After you fill in where you are, there is some other information that you can ignore if you want; simply scroll down until you get to the same type of fill-in boxes for where you want to go. After you fill in those fields, there is more information you probably don't care about. There is also some advertising (remember this is free, so they have to run ads. At some point Jaws announces "get directions. Hit enter and then your step-by-step map will appear. At that point, you can also choose to have the directions emailed to you. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Sarah Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 11:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] combo box question Sometimes though the alt+down arrow does nothing at all. www.mapquest.com is a great example of thisafter you have searched for the place you want to get to .
