as much as i like google, i'm not really a big fan of their google maps service. it's okay, but the routes it usually gives me are considered the "long way." so i try asking for the same directions on mapquest, and i get a more efficient route. example: i asked for directions a few days ago, and google gave me a bunch of back roads, but those roads have a lot of lights and are usually congested. i tried the same on mapquest, and it gave me a route, using mostly highways.

Yeah, I've noticed that about google maps, too. It gets pretty annoying because I don't like taking backroads -_-'
Hm. I just like the way it scrolls
hehe, i like their interface. ajax rules
ryc: I thought that they got the maps (the plain images), but as far as coding how the things worked, like plotting points on map, lines on roads, etc. it was done by google. Oh wells, who knows, still cool anyway

google maps gives me about the same directions as yahoo/mapquest.
