Can anyone recommend a free website for planning a car journey?

I have to go to Peterboro on Thursday and I can get to the train station but need the bus depot. So would like to use a route planner for the best way to get there (I don't hold with new fangled technologies as Sat Nav as I still have trouble working a mobile phone).

The AA do the best one I've found, I'll get you a link.

I've tried a few, but this one's definitely the most reliable.

When I say most reliable, I've found the other ones much more vague, the last thing you want when you're jaunting along amongst other traffic.

I've always like the http://maps.google.com copy interface, in that you can (if you so desire) alter the route easily (e.g. adding waypoints) just by clicking your mouse on the location and/or dragging it
