Out of like 5 I printed out for directions, 4 of them were incorrect. I ended getting lost more then it helping it. I switched to Mapquest, much better IMO. Any other good map guides?

I thought Yahoo! Maps just used Mapquest?

But yeah, I agree. Yahoo totally funked me once in Atlanta.

Yeah, that's what I thought too. Seems like both Mapquest and Yahoo map driving directions are provided by NavTech.

Never had a problem with mapquest getting me where I needed to go.

Maybe you all just suck at reading maps? :p

You have to carefully examine the address you are using.
There are multiple suffixes for roads.
Also, there are different townships, villages, hamlets and what not.
