The Yellow Pages website offers maps and directions.
If you have access to the Internet, getting directions from the Yellow Pages website is a simple task. If you're relying on a printed copy of the Yellow Pages, you'll have to do a little more work to figure out where you're going. Many other websites and print directories offer maps, and it can be a good idea to check a couple of different sources because older maps might be out of date. Since the print edition of the Yellow Pages is updated every year, it should be relatively current.

6. Flip to the maps section of the Yellow Pages.
7. Using the map index, search for the street you're starting from and the street you're heading to. The streets will be listed in alphabetical order and will have a grid letter and number beside them, such as 'A3'. If you're in a large city, there may be several maps for each area of the city. The index will tell you which map to look on.

10. Write down all the streets you will need to turn on, and which direction to turn with each one.
