I used to use mapquest exclusively for any city I visited or even for areas of my city where I was not familiar with streets. For the last 3 years it has become virtually unusable. There is a wealth of hotel info, but the driving directions seem to be geared to the longest routes. Maybe that is as intended to tout restaurants and hotels. You can no longer click and drag the parts of the route you know... it takes main highways only. So sad, and no longer worthwhile
