Frank, we took a look at this a few months back here at EMU and had
rather the same opinion: they're gathering up a lot of free websites,
but don't seem to add any of their own content.  We couldn't find
anything that seemed to justify paying for a subscription.

    Hello All,

    Does anybody subscribe to this database or have an opinion of it one
    way or another?

    http://www.atozmapsonline.com

    After reviewing it on a trial basis I realized it appears to be a
    compilation of Mapping websites and Government sites that are
    available for free elsewhere on the web so I thought I'd ask before
    we drop down money to subscribe.

    Any advice appreciated...
