Wait! What? MapQuest?

Programmable web has a timely post on what MapQuest has been doing.
MapQuest continues to add services to its developer network. Have they caught up with the geo-tools available from Google and Yahoo?
Most recently the mapping pioneer released a geocoding web service and static maps. In fact, many recent posts on its developer blog have included multiple announcements, testament to how much the company has been releasing.
Some cool new stuff for sure. My only issue is that I can’t find Legend City using its geocoder.
No Legend City in these parts....
About James Fee
They have changed thier map style to a cleaner more informative look today. It has a new topographic layer.
Much nicer looking than Google in my opinion.
I appreciate your post about MapQuest and imma let you finish your blog, but Google Maps Navigation is the best GPS ever!
/it’s Friday…
I just wish they had not removed the ocean floor from their new map style.

How do you expect MapQuest to find Legend City which is closed in 1983. http://www.legend-city.com/aftermath0.htm
And you did mention it too that its closed in 1983! http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2009/10/26/the-legend-of-google-maps/
Am I missing your point?
Thx
Let me introduce you to a good friend of mine… *sarcasm*
