Figure 1 - Getting Directions

The "Maps" Application is a web redirect to www.mapquest.com. Since it is a web redirect, advertisements on the page are normal.

Getting Directions:
To get directions, click on the blue "Get Directions" button right below the search text box. Then, in the text box labelled "A", type in your origin. In the text box labelled "B", type in your destination. Next, click the green "Get Directions" button.

Once you have click the green "Get Directions" button, use the vertical scroll bar on the right to view the entire route. If there is more than one feasible route to get to your destination, a "Suggested Routes" box may be visible, showing multiple routes. Double click the one that you wish to take. 

Also, you can change the type of transport with the three button on top of the text boxes on the "Getting Directions" page. The car represents driving, the bicycle represents biking and the person represents walking. 

Printing Directions: 

To print directions, use the vertical scroll bar to scroll down slightly until you see the "Driving Directions" label. To the right of that, the first icon, which is in the shape of a printer can be used to print the directions currently displayed. 

Searching: 

To search for a location, type in an address, business, or landmark into the text box of the "Maps Home Screen", then click search. If a location is found matching your search criteria, the map will zoom into that location. 

Going Back: 

To go back in the "Maps" application, press the "Back" button at the top right hand corner of the form.
