    As far as I'm concerned Google Maps is the best for planning your route and mileage. You can even use the little man to get a picture of the road conditions. For example assume I was planing a trip from North Star casino to Oneida casino with a a Menominee casino stop. It gives me the best route and mileage between each casino.

    BONUS: especially for teams/small biz....each card gets 2 companion entries....and the card can add 5 additional cardholders....so one annual fee can, theoretically, get 18 “memberships”....prob is have to REALLY trust those 5 card holders with your/company credit

    Can you clarify what you mean by road conditions? Those pictures can be several years old.

    Agree, those pictures are often more than several years old. Sometimes like 10 years old. However, you can still get a feel for the road in most cases. Does the road have a shoulder where you can pull over. In fact, not too long ago I took an off the beaten path to a casino that I once took many years ago. At that time I think about 5 miles of the trip was on a dirt road, but when I looked at Google Maps and checked out the road it was now all paved so I took the route once again. Still it was a bad choice as the road was curvy and narrow and couldn't go very fast, but at least it was paved.

    He is referring to opening one account with a credit card, and adding a bunch of authorized users. All the authorized users can split the cost of the membership while everyone gets the benefits. But you risk someone racking up a large debt and disappearing into the ether...

    Not much different than the corporate credit card I have, less the debt part.

    I find that WAZE (owned by Google) is even better. Basically it is Google Maps with updates. People who have the WAZE app use the it to send information to a central depository. The app then uses this info to suggest better routes, let drivers know about traffic conditions, obstacles on the road, etc.
