We are travelling from GA to Williamsburg, VA in a couple of days and every site I've been on gives directions for major highways. Are there any sites that give you directions using back roads? I've already tried mapquest, yahoo, and rand mcnally.

Mapquest is my favorite. On the ending location it has advanced options where you can mark "avoid highways"

DON'T USE MAPQUEST!!! I can't tell you how many times I've driven way out of the way b/c of MapQuests stupid directions. It once had me driving down backroads for two hours just to find out when I got to the destinantion that a strait drive on the interstate would have taken about 30 minutes! Yahoo Maps has never let me down though. I suggest that.

You tried Mapquest, right? If these online mapping programs don't allow the differentiating, I'll check my Streets n Trips and see if they allow it. I need to know which freeway and nearest crossroads.
