Ever us Google Maps (gmaps) for your driving directions? For me its invaluable.. now they have a new addition for people that want to avoid major highways and Interstates etc… simply run your directions to/from here as usual then toggle the “Avoid Highway” option. A new route is then plotted, directions updated and highways are avoided… great for those of you who don’t like to drive 55 – http://www.google.com/maps

Metacarta Offers try before you buy via Labs on a Stick
This comes via the Metacarta Devsite (aka. Metacarta Labs) .. a collection of demos which can be run with no external dependancies. With a MetaCarta Labs USB stick, you simply insert the USB drive into the USB port, and double click the ‘run’ script for your platform to start up a local web server. Platforms which have been tested are OS X, Linux, and Windows. See http://labs.metacarta.com/on-a-stick/
