ARGH!!! Since when did the internet become the sole domain of the lazy-ass car driver?
I'm trying to get a simple route map for a short walk across Brussels, and all the mapping sites I try insist on diverting me via stupid one-way systems. I'm ON FOOT, damnit. Where's the "no thanks, I'd like to walk" option?
Google Maps lets you redefine your route by dragging the map line, but freaks out when it hits one way systems.
Yahoo! Maps! Is! Fixed! Only! For! Cars!
Maporama (more like Adorama) is similarly useless.
Mapquest keeps prompting me with an alternate destination, and failing to load the subsequent map page.
Multimap: Driving, Quickest, Shortest, Walking .... you're my hero! Sadly, Multimap doesn't rate minor roads as suitable for walking on, so looks like I'll still need to take a printed map and a brain. Oh well ...
