NEED mapping software PIZZA DELIVERY- I WANT YOUR OPINIONS!!

I just got a job delivering pizzas. I want to be the fastest and most efficient driver in the whole shop.

Somebody tell me the software I need to buy *cough download cough* that I can just type in point A to point B and get perfect directions.

Yahoo maps, expedia, and mapquest always have something about them that messes up. According to them my house connects to a road that quite simply put does not connect. I've seen goofed directions from all 3 of those websites and I know I can't trust them.

I want something that is >99% reliable.

Also, this is on a laptop that does not have an internet connection.

I know nothing about GPS's. Should I get one?

Thanks a lot.
 
Is pizza delivery really that cut-throat?

Seems to me that you'd spend more time fumbling around with software than you would just driving there.
 
Actually mapping software won't help as to personal experience. You have to take in account morning and afternoon rush hour traffic. A longer route might be shorter timewise depending on where you need to go. Shortcuts! ask a more experienced driver what shortcuts he uses. Mapping software sucks compared to experience.

At this point just getting point a to point b is killing me. We have the largest delivery area of any of the papa john's in the area. There are so many country roads and I try to get creative so often I end up tacking on miles on top of miles. And I don't want to even start talking about finding everything. The software would be a life saver at this point in my experience, thats for certain. And I acquired a laptop today, so I may as well put it to use for when I go back to work on thursday (should be just enough time to acquire that software and get this bad battery replaced).

Sooooooo many roads. I spend more time looking at the maps than I do driving. And then driving I spend more time turning around because I'm going the wrong way than I do driving to the correct destination.

I'm great at bringing the items to the door though 🙂
 
Destinator will probably be best 🙂

You'll have north-up or heading-up, 3d/2d viewpoints, turn-by-turn instructions etc.
