I know the route i want to take but the map web sites do not use my route.?

Question

I want to take U.S. Rte 51 from Heyworth, Il to Sparta, Il.

Answer 1

If you already know the way you want to go, why do you care what the map sites say?

Answer 2

Ok, so break up the route.
Ask for a map from Heyworth to Rte 51
A map of Rte 51 from the exit by Heyworth to the exit by Sparta
A map from Rte 51 to Sparta...

Answer 3

I use the online maps, but I still check with people who know the areas. Often, they will direct you in different routes. Go with the way you know to be effective. Sometimes online maps judge by distance only or "most direct". They do not always take into consideration the road conditions, etc.
