this is done with a program called autoroute I think

go here http://maps.google.co.uk/maps

Type in the start postcode, wait for the view to load, then click the link for "From here" or "To here", as seen HERE (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=po16+8ul&om=1)

Then type in the other post code or place name (I typed Buckingham Palace) and click "Get Directions"... a page like THIS (http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=PO16+8UL+%4050.847342,-1.168289&daddr=Buckingham+Palace&f=li&hl=en&cid=&om=1)will load.

I'm not sure if Google maps can do multi-point routes though :?:

Anyway, hope that helps

[Mr Toad]

try the RAC Routeplanner

http://rp.rac.co.uk/rp/routeplanner

or ViaMichelin

http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/dyn/controller/Driving_directions

Both are very good, although they may not give you nice pretty maps
