IMO, every time Google changes Maps they make it worse. I've preferred Mapquest for a long time. They've changed that too - I liked the older version, which I still have a backup of - but I'll try it for a while and see if I can get used to it. I gave the new Maps a chance and turned it off and ended up driving the old fashioned way - stopping and asking for directions. It was actually better than using Maps. (Using a real road map [anyone still remember those?] would have been better, but no one makes the old Flying A maps any more. And driving with a big Hagstrom book in your hand is reckless.)
Last night I used Mapquest to go to a place I've never been before and, aside from the fact that a huge shopping center has a single address and Mapquest took me in by the closest entrance (which was the farthest one from the store I wanted), it got me right into the shopping center.
