Mapping Hacks: The Road Less Traveled by in MapQuest

Overview Everyone uses MapQuest to prepare monolithic routes, a single routing that describes the whole trip. The author wanted to split that into segments and compare the time and distance of each segment. If the user has connectivity, he or she can create multiple views of the same journey in MapQuest, or use the same techniques in any mapping service that provides directions. As an aside, the connectivity in Lithia Park in Ashland, Oregon, is stellar. The drive from Portland to Ashland is easy, so it is convenient to stop in Ashland to download a bunch of code to play with on the rest of the trip.
