All Drivers Need MapQuest

By John Flint


Map Quest offers very accurate driving directions, I've visited many online mapping websites to get directions, but MQ and G Maps have provided me with the most accurate directions for sure. Even though Google Maps and AOL's web mapping service are number one on my list, there are other internet mapping sites that are very good as well, websites that I also recommend, those sites are Bing and Yahoo Maps, Yahoo maps offers probably the best free live traffic report on the web, and Bing maps provides 3d maps online.

MQ is one of the oldest, and also one of the best online mapping websites, it was launched online in 1996, since then it has been helping people all around the world find their destination in a more efficient manner. To get directions simply visit the official MQ website, once you are at the site look for the "get directions" link, click on it, then enter your starting address in "A", your ending address in "B", click on get directions one more time, and you are done, the route builder will automatically plot the best possible route on a high quality map, this route will help you get to where you are going in less time, and through routes with less traffic.

I'm a driver, I have to drive all day long every single day, I do not drive only because it is my obligation, I also drive because I love it, after all driving is my favorite hobby. There are a couple of things that I do not like about driving cars, I do not enjoy driving through routes with a lot of traffic, and I don't like to encounter closed roads, that is the main reason why I love this web mapping service, it allows me to avoid traffic, and it also allows me to avoid closed roads, there are other reasons why I love AOL's internet mapping website, this online mapping service also allows me to save a lot of time and money as well.

Every driver should use this service to get directions, if they want to find their destination in a more efficient way, this is one of the most accurate free driving directions providers in the world, believe me, I have tried many web mapping softwares, but very few deliver what MQ delivers. AOL's route planner is also a great tool for road trip planning, this route planner allows users to add up to twenty six stops to each route that they create, that means that you don't have to be constantly visiting the site to get a new route every time that you need one, you simply have to create one route with all the stops on it.

The cool thing about this online mapping service is that now you don't even have to print maps, you can send directions directly to your phone, to your car, you can send them by email, or you can access them through your mobile device. Mapquest offers a very unique mobile app that's known as "M4M", MQ for mobile is the only mapping and routing app that offers Skyhook technology, that means that now you can access navigational information in places where it wasn't possible in the past, like when you are driving through tunnels or underground.
