In all fairness to Mario, how Google Maps displays for you depends on
your browser. If you're still using IE 8 in Windows XP, it's probably
just as Gerald has described. If you're using a newer browser, the
default interface is a trainwreck, but you can revert back to the
classic version of Google Maps. Unfortunately, I can't give you
step-by-step instructions for making this change right now, but you
honestly can "Google" it.

I don't understand why you are having trouble using Google Maps. Just
click on maps from the Google home page, and then click on the link
labeled get directions. On this page, you can enter your starting and
ending addresses in the appropriate edit fields. On the results page,
you can choose to display directions by car, by public transportation
or by walking. The directions for each mode of travel are given in
detailed steps that are easily read by JAWS.

Subject: getting traveling directions
hi fellow listers, I am in need of getting directions to a destination
address and wanted to know if there is an accessible/usable service
that I
can use? I tried Google Maps but it's somewhat difficult to make
heads/tales of things like where to type in the starting and destination
address among choosing the few options and reviewing the
results/steps in a
text layout.
MapQuest has gone totally graphical, and their classic interface does
not
exist anymore. So what else is there for us screen reader users? Anyone?
