I still use Mapquest but I keep a GPS handy. Usually Mapquest is pretty reliable. Even my GPS has tried to take me on closed and fire roads. That's when the good ol' Thomas Guide comes out.

Is it just me, or does mapquest take you on crazy long out-of-your-way directions, sometimes giving you roads that don't even exist...I hate mapquest and wish someone would give me a GPS.

Its so crazy you say that...A couple years ago, a friend and I decided to go to a New Kids on the Block concert, and we used mapquest for the directions, because it was an 8 hour drive to the venue.  It ended up taking 12 hours to get there because we got lost since apparently the interstate exits in Ohio are not in numerical order.  I don't know if I blame mapquest or Ohio more for this.

I am not a big fan of Mapquest.  I have switched over to maps.google.com.  I love the feature that you are able to pick up a road and move it so and then see how it changes your route.

That is one of the reasons I enjoy it also. If you live in a city that has bus service it helps to let you know what buses and what times to take them to get to your destination on time. I also like the fact that you get multiple choices of routes to take.

I was going to say, I have had an easier time with the Google maps.
