Goodbye, MapPoint Mapquest1
Or, in the words of Leto: "Mapquest esta muerte." Check out Google Maps.
In the search box, put in a city. Say, Fullerton, CA.
Mind blower #1: Click and drag on the resulting map to move around.
Mind blower #2: Use the zoom in and zoom out options. They are almost too fast.
Mind blower #3: Use the search box for a listing. Like "Pizza Fullerton, CA." Click on the push pins.
Mind blower #4: After clicking on the push pin, check out the "Get Directions" option. Fast and easy to use.
The great thing about competition is that it makes everyone better. Many people are trying to grasp the technical underpinnings of Google Maps.
1I realized my folly today on the phone with my brother in law. MapPoint, made my Microsoft, is an incredible piece of software (it was used to plan my trip from CA to SD). Mapquest, on the other hand, is the web site that we've all been using for directions the last many years.
