Mapquest used to have some features that, as far as I know, were unique: making the map larger, and adding additional address markers to a single map. Since their redesign, these features seem to be gone.

Can anyone recommend a site that has similar features? The sort of thing I'm doing, in case you know a different solution is this: find several addresses in an area, (e.g. apartments for rent, restaurants), and show them all on a single map to simplify wandering between them.

Yeah, and they also lost the satellite image feature! Have you tried Yahoo! maps?

Not sure if they have what you need, but I've been using this over Mapquest for awhile.

thanks for those�I hadn't tried yahoo in a while, it seems improved, and the map on rand mcnally is really nice. They've both got the larger map size, but I can't find any way to plot multiple addresses.

I hadn't noticed the aerial photos missing. Interesting thing, they've got both those and the ability to save directions listed on their what's new page! I don't think they've had the save route feature for ages.

Try Mapsonus.com. They allow multiple Intermediate destinations.
