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.

This is one of the oldest internet mapping sites, the service was launched online in 1996, after 15 years this web mapping company is still considered one of the best, however, Google Maps is currently considered the number one online mapping site in the world, but I think that their directions service is still more popular and maybe even more reliable in North America.

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!

Mapquest was the first internet mapping site that I ever used, after using MQ for the first time I became very interested about online mapping softwares, and since then I have used most of the free online mapping sites that are available to us. Now I'm quite familiar with sites like Yahoo Maps, Bing Maps, Expedia, Via Michelin, Rand McNally, and many more, but my favorite alternative to AOL's online mapping service is definitely Google Maps.

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.
