I need to go to the field for work later today. I will be stopping at 8 locations in one city (Cincinnati). Is there a free web site that will let me mark all the points out on a map and print directions between each without having to do separate starts and finishes for each one?

Thanks,  
Steve

Google maps will.  
It’s a new feature… you couldn’t do it a year ago.

(1) Go to [maps.google.com](http://maps.google.com)  
(2) Type in starting location and first destination  
(3) Click “Get Directions”  
(4) On the left pane, below the first destination there is a “Add Destination” link. Click on that  
(5) Type in your next destination

You can change the order of the destinations by dragging and dropping on the left pane.

Mapquest has also added multiple destination capability, and I find their physical location of addresses to be more accurate that Google.

I wonder if that is different out West. I gave up using Mapquest a few years ago after they gave me wrong directions 4 times in a row in central Kentucky.

Of course, they may have fixed their maps in the meanwhile…
