What's up with MapQuest? I used to just put in my address and where I wanted to go, and I got directions. Now I put in the same info, what do I get? All kinds of crap instead of what I wanted. I asked for directions to Tony Packo's where we're having a meet at the end of the month. Instead I get this crap . I don't want surrounding locations, just give me what I asked for. I used Maps.Yahoo.com and got exactly what I wanted.....directions. What am I missing with Mapquest?

yeah, I don't like that new "place name" option.
Don't put anything in there and you should be ok.
Just use address only.

Mapquest sucks, stick to Yahoo.

Doesn't matter, still crap. I'm done with mapquest. As it turns out, Yahoo directions were better...they got me to the turnpike quicker.

Google Maps isn't the best with directions, but nothing beats its Javascript draggable maps and distraction-free website. I use it almost hourly I think, whenever I'm looking for anything at all.
