I wanted to share my site with your audience as I think they would greatly benefit from it. I created a website <a href='http://www.mapvsmap.com' title='Google Maps vs Mapquest' rel="nofollow">Google Maps vs Mapquest</a> where a user types in 1 address to search, and has results from BOTH google maps and mapquest displayed side by side. I will be adding the ability to show directions from both services side by side as well here soon. The site again is http://www.mapvsmap.com Great post..

I'm thinking about going to Searchfest 09 in Portland next month and was just using the distance calculator to plan the drive (with a pitstop in Seattle), checking on other hotels besides the one sponsoring the conference (checking their locations before I visit their website for rates), using the public transit system to get to conference center at Oregon Zoo from hotel(s), etc...

Google Maps and the way it moves between satellite view, hybrid, photographs and wikipedia is fantastic. I also like the way Panaramio pics are pulled in - I like to contribute a few pics a month if I see something I think will be interesting or of use to others. It is one of those things that I literally need in my life David I certainly hope so Google deserve it.
