Use Mapquest To Get Free Driving Directions

By John Ohiggins


Mapquest is a recognized provider of free driving directions and maps online, I've been using map quest directions for over 12 years, this excellent internet mapping service has money saving tools that have helped me save hundreds of miles, and also hundreds of dollars.

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.

This online mapping website can be accessed through any mobile phone, or any other mobile device that allows you to browse the web, you can access this service through your phone's web browser, another option is to download the official MQ app for mobile, the app is free, but you can only download it if you have an Android or iPhone phone.

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 live in Europe or if you ever go there for vacations don't forget to use Via Michelin, Via Michelin is probably the most popular online mapping website and free driving directions service in Europe. Another very popular European internet mapping site is Mappy, the only problem is that mappy focuses more on french speaking countries and users while Via Michelin is more global. I live in the USA so I use Mapquest and Google driving directions all the time, I have to travel a lot to Europe because I have a little business over there, when I go to Europe I always use Via Michelin.
