Amy,
Alas, this is only moderately cool. Do the same route using MapsOnUs
(http://www.MapsOnUs.com/) and get 1) the route in text, 2) the route
in map format, and 3) the route verbally in your choice of male or
female voice.
Here's the route in text:
Turn-by-Turn Directions
Speak Directions: Male Female Player
Configuration Help
For a detailed map of a turn, click on the turn number.
To see a small map next to each turn, click here.
To see the route in a tabular format, click here.
Start
Head NORTH-EAST on PEQUOT AV ,
From Start Marker (720 Pequot Ave, Southport, CT)
Turn 1
Go 0.2 mi and then
FOLLOW PEQUOT AV as it TURNS LEFT
Turn 2
Go 0.4 mi and then
CONTINUE onto US 1 (EAST)
Turn 3
Go 0.9 mi and then
TURN LEFT onto MILL PLAIN RD
Turn 4
Go 0.2 mi and then
TURN RIGHT onto I 95 (NORTH) [CONNECTICUT TPK]
Turn 5
Go 6.5 mi and then
BEAR RIGHT onto LORDSHIP BLVD [HWY 113 (EAST)]
End
Go 0.7 mi to
End Marker (555 Lordship Blvd, Stratford, CT)
Now that is WAY COOL. The only question is...which is the
best route?
