My only complaints with MapQuest are: * The distance always says 10.9 miles. * The time it'll take is always set to 13 minutes. * Occasionally, the map will be a bit dated and give me directions to a place that has since moved. I'm not sure about the paid apps, but I've seen this with other free apps as well.
I find the first two points to be just a nuisance. I'm also pulling those from memory.
