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%.” Jeff Jeff Rothal Reference & Instruction Librarian Naval Postgraduate School Dudley Knox Library (Code 013) (831) 656-2344 DSN 756-2344 [log in to unmask] Library Home Page: http://www.nps.edu/Library
