Multimap Route Planner

The Multimap Route Planner is perhaps the least inspiring of them all. At the outset the only good point is that you can choose a number of countries to build a route for - Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.

Another nice feature is the ability to set the "Start Time". But anyone that travels as a family knows that you never actually leave at the "we'll be out the door time".

One major downside is the inability to set a "via". In our comparison route we are using in our reviews is Warrington to Milton Keynes via Daventry. This can't be done with Multimap.

The actual map and route looks very complicated for this journey unless you click on the "print" button at the top, then you get I usefully simple version.

The only thing is that you'll probably have to go over the print out with a pen so you can eaily see where you're going.

Another minor thing that's quite good is the reminder to take a break every two hours or so. I'm one of the worst for not taking breaks.

On the non print-out version we like the ability to click on a junction number and get a close up look. This is pretty useful when working out which lane to be in at a busy intersection.

Another down-side is the amount of advertising present. Its like staning in Piccadilly Circus.

Overall, it looks to simple and useless to start. But if you're doing simple routes then its fairly good.
