Mapquest's Religious Omission


Just on Mapquest, I thought to look for all the Catholic churches in the mapped area. But Mapquest has no icon for churches of any type. You can click on schools, hospitals, coffee shops and even specific hotel icons but no churches, which are among our major landmarks, not to mention among our most frequented buildings. Just consider how many people go through Saint Patrick's in New York everyday, and to think that Mapquest omits it entirely from it's categories.

A map that fails to clearly indicate what is contained within the parameters of the map is an incomplete map.

Mapquest needs to get religion!!!

In any case, it seems that the GPS industry has almost supplanted their business. That pains me a bit because I have found their service to be very practical and useful except for this one inconvenience. Perhaps they could add that feature and maybe with God's blessing they will survive.
