I use msn maps a lot and usually just type "msn maps" into google to get their. I always get [mappoint.msn.com...] but today it took me to [mapblast.com...]

Is this a hijack or is msn maps website changing it's name or possibly reselling their service to another company?

Mapblast is owned by Microsoft.

Maybe they've decided to change their name. It doesn't look like a hijack, the pages are practically identical. And if you look at the bottom right hand corner of mapblast, it says "Featuring Micrsoft Mapping Technology." No hijack I'm afraid.
