This morning I tried to retrieve a map with Map It! and it didn't work. So I immediately went to work on fixing it. It didn't take long to track down the culprit of the problem. MapBlast has changed some of their URLs and forms.

The section that needs repair is between the database disconnect and the navigate command.

  $dbh->disconnect();
  my $loc="http://www.mapblast.com/myblastd/";
# The following lines have been split for readability
  if ($custs == 1) {
    $loc .= "createmap.d?remLoc=&AD4=USA&AD2=$street[0]&AD3=$csz[0]&se
+lCategory=defaultCat";
    $loc .= "&AIR=&E=ahV-jzkx2zJTnrUik5NBcHnqHTIJdm9rZN79CtIrBAeeodMgl
+2b2trt_Mb5tbZCurQrHm";
    $loc .= "83mt5yY3TIJdm2q459bb9X6F5SaApdx6S6l3Zofcz0nes5mfbCtcyn59F
+QfmUv2e-5PxKXpHqmMw";
  } else {
    $loc .= "getdd.d?&mapstyle=line"; # mapstyles are line and standar
+d
    for my $i (1..2){
      $loc .= "&AIR_$i=&AD4_$i=USA"; # This needs to change if you are
+ outside the US of A
    }
    $loc .= "&AD2_1=$street[0]&AD3_1=$csz[0]&AD2_2=$street[1]&AD3_2=$c
+sz[1]&E=ahV-jdmSnOx7r";
    $loc .= "nOPutSKTk0FweeodMgl2b2tk3v0K0isEB56h0yCXZva2u34xvm1tkK6tC
+sebzea3nJjdMgl2barjn1";
    $loc .= "tv1foXlJoCl3HpLqXdmh9zPSd6zmZ9sK4FezjK6Rnv_T8Sl66uKef6l84
+m3m45ODtYxvz3m45ODswxvz";
  }
  $loc .= "&x=67&y=11"; # What are these for?  Any value seems to work
+ though
  $ie->Navigate($loc);
