Really? I remember when I first used Google Maps coming from being a Map Quest user, I was blown away that I could scroll without having to refresh the page.


Google's interface was revolutionary, but MapQuest had deeper and more accurate data for years.


I remember something very similar - I wasn't even a Google fan then and I remember just not wanting to go back to Mapquest after having seen Google Maps.


Also, one search box that intelligently knew these are all the same: "Illinois, Chicago", "Chicago Illinois", and even "Chi ill".
