If I use googlemaps or the old classic mapquest for driving directions in the US it always finds the addresses that I am looking for but using the new mapquest in most cases does not because of the incomplete address information that it is using. If I am a user and I can't find an address within mapquest and then go to googlemaps and find it then I would not try the new mapquest again.
Why can't Mapquest donate the addresses that they currently use within the old mapquest (classic) to openstreetmap so that it has the complete address information?
