AOL-owned MapQuest has been around longer than much of the competition. It used to look
different from modern map sites, too, but now offers a new experimental layout at http://beta.
mapquest.com that more closely resembles Google Maps. As you can see in Figure 11-47, there’s a
search box on top, an exploration pane to the left, and a map in the middle right. Dragging the map
relocates the view, and a click on the Aerial Image tab toggles from street to satellite maps.
