Am I the only one having trouble with them lately? Entered the address of a business in Springfield Mo. and hit the map request. Came back they-mapquest-couldn't find the address! W T F over? Went to Google maps entered the same EXACT address and voila presto chango Google maps pulled it up instantly!  cooldude AND that's NOT the first time mapquest has NOT helped me.  tickedoff Yes I duz realize It's a free service BUT if it ain't wurkin what good are free?  Roll Eyes Course in the overall scheme of tings this ain't even a pimple on satans butt!  2funny RIDE SAFE.

Your not the only person Old2Soon.  They completely changed some months ago.  They try to get clever and guess what you are entering.  Was much faster old way, at least I think.  If you just put in a street name and do not put street  ( eg.  enter Walnut instead of Walnut street )  they will not recognize it.  Or if it is a blvd and you print street it may not recognize it, etc. etc.  I just used it today to look up the box office of the Rose Music Center in Huber Heights, OH ( Dayton ).  6800 Executive blvd., and they can not find it.  I have been using mapquest for so long for directions and billing purposes it is just old hat, but I will probably  go to google or rand mcnally.  Newer not necessarily better, just ask Coca Cola.

Couple months back my brother pointed out the change at m q. There is an option-open mapuest maps I believe-that takes you straight to the old format but they have tinkered with that also.  Undecided And-at least off my puter-on the new format if I misspell something and I KNOW I misspell something I am unable to back space and do a correction-gotta start over!  uglystupid2 Couple weeks ago when I went to Miami Ok. for a P G R mission m q could NOT locate the Funeral Home I was lookin for!  Lips Sealed Google on the other hand located the F H I was tryin to find!  cooldude NEVER been a fan of coca cola BUT I know what yer sayin!  2funny RIDE SAFE.

I stopped using mapquest years or decades ago. They always had problems, took me to places I really wasn't trying to find.
