            Wow, I have used them for everywhere I have ever gone and not had a problem. Even cross country!

            Can you read?

              Both Mapquest and Yahoo Maps have been wrong for me in the past when I had to extensively use directions in a previous, the cool thing about the google map is the way you can drag and zoom into the map and actually see that the street exists :D

                both times I used mapquest to go to Oregon, the maps and directions were fucked. I ended up having to figure out where I was without the map, it was pretty much useless.

                  Mapquest has never set me wrong up here. Probably used it ~30 times in the past year.

                    Mapquest is great for rural/suburban areas. In my experience it is the suck when it comes to cities though. I've used Mapquest for Boston a couple times, always with a few small problems. Then there's Providence - where Mapquest is completely useless.

                    I recently acquired this new toy: http://www.magellangps.com/en/produc...sp?PRODID=1016
                    The eXplorist 300. My days of using Mapquest are over.
                    PS: It's also nice to see my true, GPS-calculated road speed.
