Switching from MapQuest Driving Directions to Google Maps

The younger you are, the easier it is to take technology for granted. Whether you are cynical or, like me, more easily entertained, I find mapping programs like Google Maps or Mapquest simply astounding. The people who have assembled these tools over the last 10 years are brilliant. If you never tried this marvelous service, go to maps.google.com right now. It doesn't matter where you are going... the shortest most up to date driving instructions and maps are seconds away. Google Maps has been my favorite for quite some time already. The know-how in the geo-mapping arena has improved remarkably yielding astounding maps of most of the planet and directions to just about anywhere in the world. I will do a cursory review of these three services, which with any luck will save you some exploration time when you enter the websites. I switched to Google Maps after using Map Quest for almost 10 years (more about Map Quest below). What spoiled my loyalty after all those years, was reading the instructions at Google Maps. You know, when all else fails read the instruction? If Google keeps going like they have they'll rule the world in no time.** End Summary**
