Re: Mapquest!
I've been using Mapquest for the past couple of months for directions to places all over South Jersey.
It directed me to drive through Fort Dix/McGuire AFB to get to Browns Mills. I wasn't too sure about it so checked on another map site and lo and behold there was no way I could simply drive through Fort Dix/Maguire AFB without security clearance first.
I have used Google the last couple of times I have needed directions.
BTW I see people U-turning on Rte1, I-95, 195 and 295 regularly. That's NJ drivers for you.

This sounds like Philadelphia, and some parts of US-1 you do U turns.

Re: Mapquest!
I rely on Mapquest a lot of the time and find it good. Providing I have the mailing address of the place I am going it tells me exactly where I want to go and the maps are very acurate. I cover an area from the top end of Maine to Southern NJ and it always gets me there.
If you want something better try 'Autopilot' if you search and find that there is a 'free trip' section, just put it in favourites and use it when you want to find somewhere, it's no good for my job because it only uses car routes and doesn't show truck limits etc.

To be honest, driving around unfamiliar places even with a printout from any of the above mapping websites is pointless when the frigging signs do not exist on the roadside.
e.g. driving back from Lexington, NC to home on Thursday in the dark. Got stuck in the boonies trying to get onto I-85. Looking for a sign for I-85 N(orth). No sign for this but did see a sign for I-85 S(outh) so we followed that and lo and behold, finally we see a sign for I-85 N. I reckon either there's never been a sign for I-85 N there or a local nicked it or knocked it over and it's not been replaced
Fortunately, my penguin sense of direction very rarely lets me down. Having an built-in compass in the rear view mirror helps too.
