Mapquest Makes My Life A Lot Better

By Jack Howard


Map Quest is perhaps the website that every driving enthusiast dreams about, I've been using this online mapping service for more than ten years, and I plan to use it every single day for as long as I live, or at least for as long as I can.

Now there are many web mapping sites that offer free driving directions, but I only like to use Google Maps and AOL's online mapping site, because I think that these are the sites that provide the most accurate driving directions on the internet. Google driving directions are very impressive and if you are looking for an alternative to MQ, then G Maps is definitely the site that you want to visit.

If you want to find out how to get directions, then I'm very pleased to tell you that you've just landed in the right place. To get directions at Mapquest all you have to do is visit the official MQ website, once you are there, you have to locate a link that says "get directions", the link can be found on the left side of your screen. When you find that link click on it, enter your starting address in "A", and then enter your ending address in "B", you can add more than one stop to each route that you create, to do so click on the "add another stop" option, after you have entered your locations click on the "get directions" button, and that's it.

After you click on get directions the route planner will plot the most efficient route possible on the map, following that route will be easy, because the maps that MQ provides are very high quality. If you like this service a lot, and you want to have access to it all the time, you can download their free m4m app, it is available for most mobile platforms and devices, and it also offers Skyhook technology.

I've been online since the last millennium, and I have been using internet mapping softwares since I started using the web, the first internet mapping service that I ever utilized was MapQuest, and it was the only web mapping solution that I used for many years of my life. After a few years had passed by new online mapping sites started to flourish, some of these online mapping websites became very popular and they are still utilized by millions every single month, the most popular free online mapping softwares are without any doubt Google Maps, Yahoo Maps, Bing Maps, and Rand Mcnally.
