I too prefer MapQuest. It gives highly accurate voice guidance while driving or walking, and works in the lock screen or while using other apps. It even works while I'm on the phone, giving me directions through the ear piece. It's more accessible than Google Maps as well.

I wish I could explain the disappearance of the "Action Results" button. I have found that button essential for speech. Like David, I have had accessibility issues with Google Maps. I switched to MapQuest and find it generally works well. The buttons are labeled with understandable indicators. MotionX and Navigon also get high marks for accessibility.
