Google hilights the location in a pop up balloon
Adds the contact information
telephone
US Postal and WWW addresses
Directions to and from
4. Click “To here” in the Directions listing
5. Type in your address of a location outside the state (I grew up in NW Ohio) and watch how Google maps out directions.

Observe how fast the refresh rates are for clicking on the sliding scale in the upper right hand corner….and the zoom in/out feature.

Goodbye Mapquest.
