Have you seen this? MapQuest had better get off their lazy rear ends and evolve, or Google's going to take over the planet!

Or if not the planet, the parts of it that have broadband.

I tried to download it, but it said downloading was delayed.

It's still in beta and isn't released yet.

Mapquest already has this function.

Does MapQuest have an interactive Earth with roads overlayed on satellite imagery? Flying from point to point? 3-D rendered buildings? Can you provide a link?

MapQuest gets me lost......
Google....will probably just confuse me......and then get me lost.

You sound like me!

I come by it honestly though. My mother also had no sense of direction.

I got her a sign once that read: "Don't follow me, I'm lost too!"

If they had all that, Google wouldn't stand a chance.
