How Far Is It? - Pick two locations and find out how far apart they are and see them on a map.

Google Maps - Originally a nice clean map site. Now it's getting a little crowded. I would like to see more map and less junk. Has standard features plus Hybrid & Satellite view.
http://maps.google.com

Mapblast (MSN Maps & Directions)  - Nice setup, easy to use. Choose map or directions all from the same place. It's best feature is the 3 map size choices. We really like the full-size map that fills the entire screen. As for the actual map, it's lacking -- a bit too "wispy." It's especially difficult to read the street names. Squiggly.
http://www.mapblast.com/

Mapquest - A little confusing when you first arrive. Find a Business -- but I'm not looking for a business... Oh, I get it...it's a nice option once it hits you. For directions, it has a separate tab that opens to become part of the map tab. Best feature: it produces a nice BIG map with easy-to-read street names, bold streets, good markings. We think this is the best map out of the bunch. Just wish we could "click off" that scroll thingie on the right.
