route planners.....which one?

morning all,

i've just got directions from 4 route planners. the AA and RAC were identical, but multimap and google were totally different from the AA and RAC ones! there were roads on e one that werent on the others!!! how totally confusing . so who is the best and most reliable one? cheers

I've always gone with multimap, it seems reliable enough.

I've now got Sat nav in my car, so I tend to use that too (even if it does try to send me off into fields )

We've always gone for the AA route planner, and found it to be extremely reliable on timing and everything. I guess it's possible that the others just go on the most direct route, regardless of how good the roads are.

Mine sent me the wrong way up a one way street !

We use the AA Routeplanner and have found it really good both on timing and directions.

use aa routefinder. has only misdirected us a couple of times though

thanks everyone for your replies. just realised what has happened. the AA and RAC have taken me off one junction of the Mway and the other 2 route planners have taken me off the next junction!!! i've just printed a bigger map with both junctions so i can follow either, and just in case i get lost!!!!

I tend to use rac.co.uk - but have used aa and mapquest.

not much help am I

We used the RAC map - it got us all the way to Spain with no hitches, so must be good!

I just have a road atlas, always an up to date one though.
