annuinForget Mapquest, Google Maps is way nicer. http://maps.google.com/
PreZ showed me this, and you can even fill in stuff in the search field like "thai restaurants near [your address, town, state]" and it'll give you results it's found. It won't list everything that's actually near you, because I'm assuming it works in conjunction with a regular Google search, so Yellow Pages would be more in depth (which it doesn't work with), but it's definitely nifty.

However, those are just nifty functions, rather than essentials for me. I find their map stuff much clearer than Mapquest's.
