Your assessment is spot on. It's a departure from the traditional format of a MapQuest page. The single page allows an at-a-glance dashboard of information about a location. The content is loaded via Ajax (using jQuery BTW). We're going to continue to release additional feeds and are working on more features. This week we added classifieds, autos and support for Microformats. While the focus is on the US at the moment, we'd love to chat about content ideas for the UK or any additional suggestions or feedback. Feel free to email us directly or use the sign-up for the Local Program. (http://developer.mapquest.com/localquest). Regards, Josh Babetski MapQuest, Inc. Matt,
