Continuing on its "too little, too late" strategy, MapQuest has tinkered with its home page. The team has updated the maps which now appear on the front page! Further the interface looks more, well, Google Maps-like with Traffic and Gas Buddy in buttons top right. Forms have been updated so you can toggle between a "key in" and "paste in" form. (Not sure why there can't be one for both...)
Bottom line: if you love MapQuest, these enhancements will be nice, if you use something else, these enhancements don't matter at all. For now the enhancements are on the
"beta" site, but you can toggle back to the old one for comparison. Full details on the
MapQuest blog.
