Yeah, I agree.

I am have been using Mapquest for a couple of days now. I am not sure what kind of crack it is smoking, but the instructions are fine until I get near the POI. I starts to give me a U-turn instead of simply turning. IE. I could have turned left at the intersection. Instead, it wanted me to go farther, make a U-turn and then make a right. Strange. It also did this with a right turn. Made me go farther, make a U-turn, and then make a Left. WTF?

If you don't make big mistakes, the smart re-route is very very fast on Mapquest. If it actually has to connect to the server and re-route, then yes, I think that Telenav does a better and faster job.


And in Mapquest, there seems to be no zoom (while in 3D) or volume control...lame


Intelligent design my ass


?was it a cat i saw?
