I am picking up my sister at Logan and am leaving in twenty minutes, help! I am coming from the South (using I93-N). Google Maps says to take exit 23, whereas MapQuest says to take exit 20. Which is better?

I'd say Exit 20. The Ted Williams Tunnel is much less of a headache than the Sumner/Callahan.

It's just that they used to forbid non-trucks from using the Ted Williams (I got a stern warning and almost-ticket from a police officer waiting at the other end, once).

...But it looks as if this came a little too late...

Not at all. Her plane landed an hour late.

Given that Google Maps clearly has exit number information, why don't they show them somewhere in the map view? Mapquest's UI is still infuriatingly antique, but this is one great advantage they have.

Windows Live Local shows exit numbers too. Good on them. (Their aerial imagery of Boston is even older than Google's, though; it's from before construction on the Zakim Bridge even started. Will somebody take some current pictures of the Artery corridor already?)

Yes, that's always seemed odd to me.
