A Zippy Way to Google

When planning a trip, you can combine features of two search engines to find all kinds of information about the place you'll be visiting.

First, go to Google. Type a zip code in the search box. At the top of the search results list, click on Yahoo Maps. A map of the zip code area will appear with a list of categories on the right. Click a category title and a list of buttons will appear. Select one of the buttons and a new map will show the locations of your choice, indicated by yellow boxes. Hover your pointer over a box and its name will pop up. Click the box for the address, phone number and driving directions.
