Honestly, I'm just having trauma flashbacks to my dad getting mad that I wasn't reading the printed Mapquest directions fast enough

Oh, that brings me back to being in Kansas City with an irate parent while the intent was to just pass through
Neither. Try OpenStreetMap. Open source, non commercial, compiled from crowdsourcing and publicly available information. You can even contribute updates. Only thing it's missing is satellite imagery. Organic Maps is a pretty good client if you're on Android.
Seconding the Organic Maps recommendation. They added address lookup earlier this year (or late last year?) and it does everything I need now.
Still room for improvement on search, looking up restuarants by a general type, like BBQ doesn't turn up BBQ places that don't have BBQ in the name for example. The only other feature I think people will miss is reviews, but you can at least search that online without using another map.
