Anyone check out mapquest.com lately? The first.... and the best?

Nice. It gets a bookmark.
+ Map graphics look a lot nicer than The New Microsoft
+ Superior knowledge of neighborhoods
Yeah, Pinehurst! Yeah, River Pines! Yeah, Pattenville! Yeah, Rio Vista!
+ Map data looks more accurate:
Cambridge Hospital is listed as Cambridge Hospital, not Holy Ghost Hospital
Camilia Ave is correctly shown as a dead-end
Non-existant "paper streets" in my parents' neighborhood correctly not displayed
- Slow to load
- Doesn't appear to be hijackable (eg here)
- Image resolution isn't so good
- No "hybrid" mode

I've been into local.live.com for it's aerial images.
Political boundaries are the best part about this, I think.

That gmap-pedometer.com is great, I've been needing that for a while.
