Expedia Route Planner

Expedia offers a classic 'bolt-on' feature. It's woefully inadequate to say the least and is just a feature that looks like it was created in the US and has simply been copy and pasted into their UK site with a couple of slight modifications.

It's obviously more important for Expedia to sell holidays, flights and car hire etc than it is to provide directions. But our view is that if you're going to put something on an international brand's website, it should reach the high standards that every other part of the site reaches. There should be no areas of disappointment.

The options they give you are limited to having the quickest or shortest route, or having the distances in miles or kilometres.

When you get a map of the route all it shows is the point of departure and your final destination unlike the AA route planner which shows a decent map.

Furthermore the actual directions itself are basic, but usable!

Overall, we'd give this one a miss.
