[SDCBC] MapQuest aerial view function

[John Eldon]

I concur. I complained vociferously a few years ago, when MapQuest [fortunately, briefly] discontinued my two favorite functions, "shortest distance" and "avoid highways [sic]."

Thanks.  I didn't realize
mapquest added this future.  I stopped using it a year or two
ago.

The satellite view at
maps.google.com does the same.

The hybrid mode allows you to overlay the map on the satellite view.



Anyone use both and prefer one over the other for any
reason?

I like MapQuest's ability to discard freeways from its consideration of
best/shortest/fastest route. The resulting trip proposed for a motorist
is almost always the one I'd choose to bike.
