Matt,
Biy I hear you. I used MapPoint (business version of Streets) and miss it terribly.
Maps is hard to figure out. Try a simple test. Enter an address (like your home) and search. Expand and see if it is where it should be. Switch to aerial view and check again. Switch back to road view. Click the direction tab on the right side of the information box. Enter another address you know. Click "get directions". You can change settings to avoid toll roads, etc. (see the Gear button).
Here's an output map from a route I just calculated.
From here, you can add locations and recalculate.
Hope this helps.
Chris
