Not to bitch, but what the hell happened to this group?

Anyway, what are you guys using for vicinity maps? The big 3 (mapquest,
google, yahoo) suck all of a sudden... hmmm, forgot to try mapsonus.

The resolution when I insert into ACAD is so bad you can't read street
names.

In these times, it would be ridiculous to have to draw maps and I sure don't
want to pay for them.

Unquestionably, Microsoft has the highest quality maps and imagery. This is
well known. Yahoo has the best implementation of the AJAX Javascript
libraries with excellent documentation and Google has the eyeballs from
their mastery of search. I actually prefer Google's UI controls for their
maps but that's a personal preference that has nothing to do with your
concerns about quality.

If its quality of the graphics and images you should be learning how to use
Microsoft's mapping solutions.

Yes. They stink, but how much responsibility do I bear in case someone can't
even find their way to the site?

What's your point?

Regardless, it leads me to wonder if the vicinity map is an antiquated
notion. If you don't use the internet then maybe I don't want you touching
my job.

That is exactly my point.
