1) MapQuest was not as convenient as early Google Maps.
I do not remember if it was fast.

Now MapQuest looks comparable with Google and is definitely faster.

2) > why not try Mapquest or Bing?

MapQuest is about two times more expensive than OpenCageData.

$ 199 per month - 75,000 transactions per month

Comparable plan on OpenCageData is $100/month for up to 20,000 requests per day.

Bing - does not show their Geocoding API prices. I do not like that.


3) I do not want to shop for mapping solution, because there is a good change that adding maps to postjobfree.com was a misfeature.
Many years ago we added Google Maps because it was cool and free to add.
It's neither cool nor free anymore.

4) Bing Maps are comparable with Google Maps.
Google Maps graphics are better. Bing is faster (but slower than original Google Maps).
