Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.

Terraserver.com now has driving directions. The feature is located on the tools pane of the actions menu on their WWW site.

Since Mapquest.com discontinued the avoid highways feature, I have seen a few posts here requesting a similar feature from other providers. mapsonus.com and map24.com were the most popular alternatives.

This is another. In order to use the feature set the "Highway Preference" to 0. This site is pretty basic. It won't allow you to save addresses, but from the little I have used it, I think it produces good results.

FWIW

It doesnt really work... I just plugged in three routes with highways set to zero and it had me on highways on all three.

I just find it easier with a paper map.
