probably the best directional web site I've seen. So easy to use and accurate. I been looking at houses location and it works way better than mapquest.

I like it much better than mapquest, but for some reason sometimes some of the tiles wont load and I have to move around or refresh it to get them to show up.

Very Nice.

I guess i've been living under a rock.

Mapquest gave me wrong driving directions three times!

It's great when it can find your address, but it's been unable to find a lot of the addresses that I've entered (Mapquest doe). It also told me Maui, HI is in Kansas.

It would be cool if Microsoft made a mapping website and linked it up with their terra server so you can actually see the locations.

Actually google maps is amazingly fast. But because of the way it splits the image into 25 separate images, if you have P2P filesharing going on, it takes time for your 25 http requests to leave your PC. Kill your uploads and google maps will be fast.

Its location popup markers suk. The directory data used for them is often very out of date or incomplete.
