Mac equivalent for Microsoft MapPoint?

I'm helping a friend switch from a PC to a Mac, and they're wondering if there's a Mac equivalent to Microsoft MapPoint.

They need software that can produce driving directions for itineraries that involve more than two locations (not just one start and one end point), and need to be able to save these itineraries.

Map Quest and Google Maps/Google Earth can't do driving directions for itineraries with more than two locations, and I can't find any Mac driving direction software out there (except for National Geographic hiking/national park software). Any ideas?

I've been searching for this for ages, and haven't come across anything similar. I think that mapping on the Mac just hasn't come of age yet, as there seems to be a deficiency of software in this area.

I have been using Google Earth and just creating multiple maps for each waypoint. Sucks as a solution but it gets the job done.
