Looking for better online maps

Hi, I have tried Google, MapQuest, and bing on my droid and my PC. They are amazing, allowing for detail that is impossible on a standard paper road atlas. But they all have a few major flaws, at least as far as I see it.

When I zoom out far enough to get an overview of the region and plan a route, all the roads and towns disappear.

When I am viewing maps on the droid, many of the road labels and town names are too small to see easily. When I zoom in for a better look, everything grows except for the labels. They stay the same or shrink so I still can't read them.

The roads are light colored on a light colored background making it hard to see on a little phone screen.

Does anyone know of a program or app for maps that does not have these flaws? Please don't tell me to get new glasses. ;)

That is why exactly we have a REAL GPS.

We don't use our phone for directions which includes any planning. planning.

Get yourself a laptop or equivalent to do the planning then plug it in to your GPS and travel on.

This isn't hard to do. At this point you should have the direction and roads you will use.

We always carry paper maps in case we want to change our route.
