viamichelin as better alternative to google map


Hello,

Google Map has been great, but with all the features, it is quite slow and more difficult to use.

I found viamichelin which is extremely nicely made. It is fast and clean ; there is a satellite as well.
However I miss the lat and lon for the Navi-system.

viamichelin rocks.

Regards
Pat

There are plenty of mapping services which do much better than Google, and at much less (or, no ...) cost. "OpenStreetMaps.org," "MapQuest-Open," and many others. Routing services, too. Check out "OSRM = Open-Source Routing Machine," among many others.

Google's the best-known brand in a lot of things, but not the best in most of those things. (Including searching, for which I now use "DuckDuckGo.")
