Goodbye Mapquest?
Some friends say they find Google maps more accurate than Mapquest. Bigger map and fast.

yes, a very nice find indeed, FP. however, mapquest has something over google, mapquest shows one way streets with little arrows... case in point, pittsburgh, whos streets I CANT STAND, one way markers come in handy... the google maps dont have those, unless im missing something.

I have a better solution for that - I avoid towns with one way streets
I hated downtown Miami for that reason.

The interface is the greatest thing ever. I do think the maps are a bit out of date. theres a new subdivision behind where I live thats been there for about a year thats not in it. They also took out a curve in a road near me that it still shows. Nothing major though and with that interface I don't think I could ever use any other map website again.

Is it just me or are there patches of the area that don't show up? It could just not be loading but there are patches missing when I searched my address.
