Mapping websites

Over the last couple months, it seems to me, Google Maps, Mapquest, AND Yahoo Maps have all suddenly started to be really stupid.

It used to be that, when I had them find a route, they would tend to utilize highways pretty well. Now they don't.

I'm going to a temple in Marblehead today. From my house to there, it's pretty simple: go to Rte 1, from Rte 1, go to 129, get to to the appropriate street. Not one of them could figure it out, and they all used to be able to do so. All three are taking me on bizzare cross-country routes, and Mapquest and Yahoo Maps (and I really suspect that Yahoo uses Mapquest as its backend, anyway) take me out of the way to do it.

Anyone else noticing this recently?

I kinda wish that Andy wasn't so totally burned out on Casey and Andy
