How to Create a Driving Route Using Online Maps

You have to pick up the kids from their field trip, go to the new dentist, then meet the girls across town. These are all unfamiliar places and you don't have a GPS in your car. Before you go, create a driving route that will optimize all your stops in a methodical fashion with an online map. If you have Internet access and a printer it's easy to type in all your destinations and plan a sensible trip.
