To echo what everyone else has said on Mapquest, since I brought it up... I use it frequently for work, since I travel a lot. It always deserves a sanity check, no matter what. AAA will be better in most cases; I don't have the time to get a new trip-tik or three every week.
For things like interstates, it shouldn't be bad, but routing through and around towns can be crazy. I needed to get from Midway airport (southwest of Chicago) to a meeting that was northwest of Chicago. I got to Midway at 5:30 in the morning and was driving by six. The suggested route (that I didn't question) involved routing me through downtown Chicago, basically.
I figured it was 6AM, and who could possibly be on the roads at that hour?
I was wrong!
Two hours later, I made it to my meeting. Fortunately, I had arrived with a lot of spare time.
The trip back in the afternoon (through a different route) took about 30 minutes.
So, take the suggestions and make sure you agree. 'Course, for most things, you can follow the signs to your next big city.
