Mapquest Canada Alternatives


For your driving directions in Canada, I previously wrote about Mapquest Canada (Mapquest.ca). Mapquest Canada is indeed great for your travel details - it has trip planner to help determine the best route to your destination and detailed coverage of remote areas of Canada.

Mapquest Canada
Map of Canada from Google Maps - Canada



But there are other sites as alternative to Mapquest Canada which may be more useful for you depending on where you are located.

MapQuest Canada Alternatives

Canada Google Maps (maps.google.ca)
Google Maps is a Google service offering powerful, user-friendly mapping technology and local business information including business locations, contact information, and driving directions.

Canada Yahoo Maps (http://ca.maps.yahoo.com/)
Yahoo Maps provides driving directions based on a given address, a pre-stored location, or an airport code. It also offers street maps and driving directions for the United States and Canada.

I'll update this post if I find other Mapquest Canada alternatives.

    Canada 411


    Canada 411 Canada 411 directory is a free phone directory of people and businesses in Canada. Telephone numbers listed on Canada 411 are from publicly available local telephone records for published telephone listings.

    If you are planning to live and work in Canada, it will be of great help if you have relatives or friends who are already in Canada. They could either help you find jobs or help you with provincial nominee program. If you have lost touch with them, Canada 411 would be of great help.

    Or you may check this Filipino directory in Canada which I have compiled some months ago. It's more like a listing of Filipino organizations in Canada.

    Using the Canada 411 is of course easier. You can search your relatives' surname and there is a great chance that you'll find them. Unless of course if they requested to be removed from the listing.;-)

    Need driving direction? Here's MapQuest Canada: Driving Direction and Map of Canada.

    Canada 411's official website is http://www.canada411.ca
