Hope it works out better for the folks you give the directions to, than it did for me. Our agency secretary got some directions this way and printed them out, and the directions not only sent us two miles past where we needed to go, out in the countryside, but it said to go to the intersection of two roads which never meet. It took us at least a half hour to just figure out that the print-out was all messed up. This is why I don't believe in these methods, but if a sighted person is present, one should rely on common sense and make sense of the road signs, which is how I solved this, by having my driver read me the street signs. Of course, when we are alone, and we cannot read the signs, we may have no other choice than to rely on GPS. I am often surprised how many sighted people don't under the concept of navigating by street signs.

Okay I'm replying to my own message here <smile>. I've just looked up the directions to where I want to go in Maps, selected the print option from the file menu and something printed out on the printer so hopefully the directions or map of where to go from point A to point B will be printed on the paper, all will be revealed later on today <smile>, if this works then I'll be very satisfied indeed as it will mean I can direct people to different places I need to go without me having to try and explain a route.
