how do I figure out how big an area it is that I am looking at? How many square miles/acers/whatever it is? Sorry if this is dumb but I can't seem to get an answer at mapquest. Do I just have to plug in the destination around the area from road to road and then calculate it from there?

It's a sure way to get lost.
Use Yahoo Maps...believe me.

| 5. Yes - they are more up to date. 4-5 years ago, they did construction |

on the entrance to my neighborhood, changing the street that feeds the main road, Mapquest STILL does not see that change, while Rand MacNally has it.
