Driving Directions: Mapquest

By John Ohiggins


Mapquest offers free driving directions and digital maps, I have been using mapquest driving directions for more than thirteen years, thanks to this great oline mapping service I have been able to save thousands of miles and probably hundreds of thousands of dollars too.

MQ is perhaps one of the oldest web mapping sites, AOL's popular online mapping service was launched back in the 90's, MQ is almost 16 years old, and after all this time it is still considered one of the top internet mapping sites in the world. The only site that's probably more popular than Map Quest is Google Maps, which is also a great site that has lots of tools and interactive features, the driving directions that Google Maps provides are also very accurate.

Now you can even access this service through any mobile device that allows you to browse the web, all you have to do is open up your phone's browser and visit their mobile site, or you can download the free m4m app. The MQ app for mobile offers very interesting features like Skyhook technology and voice guided navigation.

The vast majority of drivers that use the internet know that the driving directions MQ offers are very accurate, they are also very quick and easy to follow. I've been a loyal user of this service for many years, it has never disappointed me, in fact, the service is so good that I even convinced my dad of using it, and my dad doesn't even know how to use computers!

Map Quest was probably one of the first online mapping websites that I used, after using this service for a while I became really addicted to internet mapping programs, since then I have been trying and testing most of the free online mapping websites, by now I have been able to use services such as Via Michelin, Bing Maps, Yahoo Maps, and Expedia. After doing a lot of testing, I still believe that AOL's online mapping website and Google Maps are the best.

If you are in Europe, don't forget to use ViaMichelin, I think that Michelin is the most popular online mapping site in Europe, they offer free driving directions and interactive maps with high resolution. Another European online mapping software that's very popular is Mappy, however, mappy only works on french speaking countries, while Via Michelin is available in most countries around the world. I live in the United States, so I use Map Quest and Google Maps a lot, but when I go to Europe, I like to use ViaMichelin.
