Maps at Ask.com

Ask Jeeves, now just Ask.com relaunched today and updated its mapping tools to Ask Maps & Directions 2.0. It’s worth a look to explore:

- driving and walking directions
- ability to add destinations along the route by pointing (it geocodes for you,  then it adds it onto existing route; it doesn’t reroute to them, so far as I can tell)
- imagery from GlobeXplorer
- mixed maps (known as Hybrid in Google Local)
- AJAX app
- play movie of the directions
- no advertising and no “local” features
