If you get lost driving, is there even an excuse anymore?

Smartphones and GPS and dashboard mapping systems have made it nearly impossible for a technologically invested consumer to get lost in their vehicle. Ever.

However, a cool new feature for people on the road (like myself when I'm traveling Connecticut doing installations) is to have complete power over the route to your destination(s). MapQuest has relaunched its interface to provide an extremely updated look with handy features to allow the traveler to pick and outline the route that he/she wishes to take. Want to stop off for a restaurant or bar? Need an ATM or gas? Icons located on the map are clickable to help identify where along your route the nearest solutions may be to your problem. Avoid traffic, upload the map to your dashboard navigation system, or even create custom maps for websites or blogs to specifically target specific stops and destinations that should be noted.
