Mapquest existed before Google maps. Google maps main advantage was streetview, but if Google maps stopped existing we wouldn’t go back to proprietary closed mapping solutions. That’s silly.

Google Maps' main advantage at launch was smooth panning and zooming. Hard to remember now but MapQuest didn't have that.
