Mapquest doesnt have VI addresses (but does PR, go figure).
Do you know of anything online like mapquest that includes VI?

The addresses here are quite difficult to fathom. Stuff like 2V-34 Estate Nazareth- I just made that up, don't try to find it on a map! 😉 If you are trying to figure out buildings, homes, it is easier to ask what it is near. Heck, even the roads have three or four names...

Three or four names?? Seems like most of them have zero names, LOL.

with google earth, you can get direction between two places without the address by pinpointing them on the map, if that helps. it's the best thing i've found because stt/stj addresses are non-US-conventional and google and everyone else doesn't have anyone working on it.

I went to google maps - interesting. The names on the roads on this map are correct, for example, Frenchman's Bay Road is marked as that - the problem is there is no sign on that road say it is Frenchman's Bay Road. Also, I was looking in Mahogany Run and the only roads are the roads going to the condos. There are no roads going to several homes in Mahogany Run. So - it is a decent map if you already know a lot about the island, but if you are not living on island and know the roads it would be very difficult to use.
