Default Once and for all....what's the best 411/mapping software?

Please Login to Remove!

There are so many 411 and mapping programs out there, but what do you guys think is the best one? I've got a lot of them, and I figure having so many of them is taking up extra space. Here are the ones I can think of off the top of my head:
  • Beyond411
  • InfoSpace Find It
  • TellMe
  • Google Maps (for mapping)
  • Yahoo! Go
  • AskMeNow

There are probably more, but that's all I can think of. Does anyone in here only use one of those? Or, what do you guys think is the best out of all of these?

Eh, I guess the best combination of looking up info for local businesses and directions.

What different uses do you have for each of them?

What I think is the best and what you think is the best will probably be different. Here's what I use to search for local businesses in the order I use most frequently:
1. Google Maps
2. Beyond411
3. InfoSpace
4. TeleNav

Searching for local businesses (address/phone) = Beyond 411

When I travel outside of the 3 pre-configure locals is Beyond411 = TeleNav (find closest to my current location)

Turn-by-turn directions = TeleNav

Mapping and Traffic = Google

Assigned to convenience key = TeleNav
