I quit using mapquest and yahoo maps a long time ago -- they just got too fugly. I stumbled upon a nice alternative, however, in maporama. Big clean maps you can customize and save. I believe thay use the navtek data as google does, but the maps are global, not just the US. Still, I'm glad google is in the game.

Or Maporama. Much better than MapQuest, offers customizable sizes and has very comprehensive maps for most of the world.

And if you're outside the US and Europe too, try Maporama...

There is also http://www.maporama.com/. It has an impressive list of countries, and large (selectable size) maps.

The accuracy appears to differ depending on the country.
However, I've been using it for Australia and find it more accurate than any alternative I know of.

You can choose a number of color styles, and you can save the generated map as a gif file, which is can then edit with common software. Very configurable, and an account is not needed.

They also provide street numbers when you are zoomed in close enough.

Overall, worth a bookmark.

If you go there, and you like beer, I can recommend l'atelier, a nearby bar with more than 200 (300?) beers, most of them belgian.. It's very cosy, too! Can be found at Rue Elise nr 77, 1050 brussels. At maporama you can locate it. It's not free, though :).

Maporama.com. Very good, detailed maps for allot of countries, displays up to 999x999 resolution. Directions routing for Europe only.

Get Australian directions at WhereIs. But the Aussie streetmaps are better on Maporama.

Very cool arial photography on streetmap.co.uk.

maporama lets you do that, at least for the UK.

It gives 3 route planning choices - by foot, by foot and subway, and by car.

If you thinik MapQuest is good...check out Maporama.
