Google maps has and had a tremendous effect to millions

[animitronix]

There was MapQuest before Google Maps. Now GPS on the other hand, that was a game changer.

And that was the same thing as maps? Free? Global

[ElevenLathe]

Yes, it was free and global. The main things that Google Maps had over MapQuest were a nice AJAXy interface and (eventually) street view. But MapQuest was itself basically a generational improvement on AAA's "TripTiks."

[Melingo]

Never used it.

And it was doing also routing too? Also in Germany?
