Interesting blurb from the latter:

“U.S. visits to Maps Web sites are up 10% year-on-year and MapQuest is
still the leader, receiving more than half of all U.S. visits to Maps
Web sites last week, according to Hitwise. However, Google Maps is
gaining fast. A year ago, MapQuest had more than five times (429%) more
U.S. visits than Google Maps. Last week, that gap was down to 126%.”
