Re: [JAWS-Users] Door to door map driving directions
Using Google Maps to get driving directions between two points is actually very easy and works very well with JAWS. First, bring up the Google home page, scroll to the Maps link and click on it. On the Maps page, locate the link labeled Get Directions, which you can find either by using the JAWS find command for the word directions or by bringing up the links list with Insert-F7. On the Directions page, enter your starting and ending addresses in the appropriate edit fields. You can enter a street address along with either the city and state or just the zip code. If you don't know the actual street number, you can enter the name of an intersection likeBroadway and 42nd St., New York, NY. On the results page, you can slect directions by car, by public transportation or by walking. If you want driving directions, click on the appropriate link, and you will get complete, step-by-step driving directions between the starting and ending addresses you specified, which you can print out, if you want. For most cities, you can also get directions by bus, subway or commuter rail, i.e., public transportation, with estimated travel times and scheduled departure times, which is very useful for us blind travelers.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Door to door map driving directions
try http://maps.bing.com The site works better than the Google maps site ever worked. The directions also give you landmarks, which were not a part of the Google maps. If you have an iPhone, the Google maps app is pretty accessible and works well.
