Should I trust google maps before mapquest?

I am trying to get directions from Ohio to Kansas and I am getting two different ways to take the same route between google maps and mapquest. Both are making it seem a lot harder than it should be to follow I-70 West to 35 South from Kansas City to Wichita... what is going on here?Should I trust google maps before mapquest?
I find it easier with an Atlas. or print out a road map for Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kansas. Map Quest or Google maps are both good. High light your route, with a highlighter.

Make your choice for a toll way or toll free highway. Follow road signs carefully. If you get on a wrong ramp stay on it and get off at the next exit. Ask for directions at a gas station to get back on your route. Take a break if you are tired. Drive safely study your map, before you take off for the next town.

Good luck.
any info you get from the Internet may not be right and you should always use some common sense when listening ( or taking advice ) from the Internet



that is why the wiki will never be done as they are always updating pages ( sometimes correcting wrong info)



SO what route will you be taking on your travels ?



Travel safe and try to have fun !



good luck and take careShould I trust google maps before mapquest?
If you look at the directions on google maps, they offer you THREE alternate routes... I70, I44, AND I35.



Just use the maps as a guide... YOU know that you need to take i70 to i35... YOU decide when and how you want to make the connection and dont let a mapping service do it for you. You may want to go through a specific town, etc.



Have a safe trip!Should I trust google maps before mapquest?
they have different algorithms for trips like that. Check you settings ie avoid highways, avoid tolls, shortest time, shortest distance... but they both do the same thing. Map-quest has been doing it for longer, and is more commercial.
Try Yahoo maps and see if that settles the score
no.
yes
