    Title:
    PLS get rid of DEFAULT to city without address!!!
    Description:

    Imagine rushing to get someplace, going to yer TRUSTY mapquest, printing the directions and rushing off into the car.... only to find that as you hit the last two lines of the directions, Mapquest discarded your address all together and decided to send you to its own idea of where that TOWN was.... so like me, you may have left work, spent 3 hours driving there and back, and having wasted your time, your gas, and your company's time... not to mention your own frustration and embarrassment, which is unretrievable. 

    So my suggestion for improvement is to permanently delete that option --and any option that is anything like it. It's one thing to 'suggest' addresses that resemble the one your search did not recognize. But to just put the town name, which makes the person say, "YES! thats the town i wanted!" and clicking on it, but not realizing that meant the address has been deleted too... is PLAIN OLD MEAN!!

    I would guess users of mapquest are in a rush OFTEN when using the site. You've entered your address and destination. WORSE than just leading someone on a ghost chase to where, you end up with a print out that also doesnt include the address you were looking for, so you cant redirect yourself. Just have to turn around, and wade thru the traffic again, and try to not be so ticked off you get in an accident.
