Ask.com has launched a brand new map and driving direction service that definitely takes more than one cue from Google Maps. In fact, its basic functionality works pretty much exactly like Google Maps'. You can click and drag the map and zoom just like with Google Maps and it has street, satellite, and hybrid ("mixed") views like we're accustomed to. Some more novel features, is the ability to specify several waypoints for multi-stop trips. Another is the "Play" button that will walk you through driving directions step by step. Ask.com's new maps also let you choose walking directions rather than driving.
