Internet search engine Ask Jeeves has launched a new Maps and Directions section to its site.

Much like other sites, if you type in a street name or postcode you will be shown a bird's eye view of the area. The Directions link allows you to type in the start and finish points of a journey and it will guide you through.

Tony Macklin, Ask Jeeves vice president of European Product Development, said:
?Despite the fact that 66 per cent of those surveyed claimed to read maps regularly, the time-stretched traveller still gets baffled when faced with your average A-Z.

?Having hectic lives often means back-to-back appointments, and more opportunities to lose your way. Offering concise online directions for even the least map-literate individual just makes life easier.?

Perhaps you're not asking him nicely enough, Lona.  :D
