New AA Route Planner Beta
The AA Route Planner is under going an update – here is the first blog mention of it.
Google Maps based, but AA have their own Custom Maps in the Info Windows (click the sidebar and an info window at the location is displayed)
European Directions includes channel crossings, Ireland is also covered.
The switch from old the ArcIMS to Google Maps API but preserving the additional functionalities of the old routing [sidebar in graphic form - the road sign structure]. It is still under beta and things might change and improve, Points of Interest (POI’s) along the route might be useful.
The Sidebar is interactive and is displayed as the driver would recognise the signage [Primary Route Green, Motorway Blue etc.]
