    Never heard of Mapquest before reading this. Always used Google will have to check it out. Thanks

    I almost totally forgot about Mapquest. They've made a bunch of improvements, but I still prefer Google maps

    Neither is perfect, but I trust Google Maps more. I think they only steered me wrong once while Mapquest is always hit or miss. But I prefer my GPS!
  • TIRMassageStone Jun 28, 2011 @ 10:38 am | delete
    I prefer google maps over quest as well.

    i'll take Google Maps any day! thank you for this lens! cheers

    I usually use Google Maps, but have had pretty good success with MapQuest. A couple years back I was using MapQuest for a trip in St. Louis and followed the directions exactly. Got sent someplace I really wanted to avoid due to a bad turn description. Other than that, the only problem I've ever had is just outdated maps due to new construction.
    Thanks for this info.

    As a Houston Personal Injury Lawyer I am often on the road to serve my clients face to face. These mapping service have been providing immense value and time saving for my practice. That is for certain.

    I used mapquest for many years. It always gave me reliable, easy to follow directions. Now I use my GPS.
  • ChineseKitesforKids May 3, 2009 @ 11:49 am | delete
    This lens needs a poll? Let the people vote for which one they like better. Great lens. Google maps just got me lost yesterday so although I love Google with a passion I must say I prefer Mapquest!

    Hi

    Very useful information. When lost in directions, even a normal person becomes physically challenged!

    Thanks.

    I use google map most of the time, then if something's not clear I will use mapquest. I'm so terrible with directions :(
  • MusicMadness Sep 6, 2008 @ 6:36 am | delete
    Nice lens. I always seem to be getting lost somewhere . . . for some reason nobody ever tells me where to go. Ha . . . I wish.
  • d-artist Aug 29, 2008 @ 2:24 pm | delete
    I have used Mapquest for years and it's never been right...it's frustrating, they need to update or something...I hate being lost! 5*s for a informative lens.
  • youhavegottobekidding Aug 13, 2008 @ 10:43 pm | delete
    In regardss with SunnyDee's comment, I totally agree some of the places don't have Google Maps. Google have to update very soon coz a lot of people are depending on it.

    Very Informative Lens and for that I will give you 5 stars for it and Lensroll.

  • SunnyDee Aug 5, 2008 @ 2:12 pm | delete
    In experience Google Maps is a better mapping service in general but I've found that Mapquest gives better driving directions...gotten lost and confused a few times using Google Maps for navigating unfamiliar areas.

    I love traveling, this lens is a great help! thanks!

    Hey Misha, you really have got to check out "GPS on PMS" in Youtube (thats the title of the vid).
    Hope you could check out my car electronics and gadgets lenses! 5 flaming balls of stellar matter!!

    You're right about us old dogs ! I recently started back in mineral exploration and was blown away that when I asked about our properties in Mato Grosso, Brazil -they just zoomed in on google - unbelievable! The last time I did exploration in the early 90's I was introduced to a /bestgpsreceivers.info/">GPS receiver - and couldn't believe how cool they were, I actualy knew where in a featureless desert (the Atacama) I was!

    Great lens! I never go distance driving without a reliable map. As a car enthusiast, you might also find this auto zone site interesting. It has some helpful information about the benefits of automotive software. Kindly drop by when you get the chance!

    Good lens, I just use GPS in my car, it's also useful for my work in GIS. Anyway, thanks for g map info!

    Wow! What an awesome lens. Thanks MishaA! I've just got a GPS enabled phone, but I'm in Australia, so MapQuest probably won't work, but thanks for the info.

    Hi Misha! Nice running into a CarSpace friend on Squidoo! As always, you do great work...5 stars in my book! If you get a chance, stop by Reed Brothers Dodge Lens at http://www.squidoo.com/reedbrothersdodge and leave me some feedback and a rating. Thanks!

    Great lens! I never drive without clear directions and I always practice defensive driving. It's always better to play safe than be sorry. I think there's practically no excuse for sloppy driving as there are many schools offering defensive driving lessons and tuition is affordable. There's a lot of benefits to be reaped from defensive driving courses besides the mere prevention of accidents. Visit the link to learn more. Thanks!

    Good Lns .Thank you for sharing this useful information.Perhaps the most unique tool of mapping is the users ability to amend any route the computer plots. If you need to drive another way all you have to do is drag and drop the route trail to another place. Time and again you want to go to different places on your way... other sites will not let you do this, with Google it's a snap.Here is also similar kind of information on automotive software , an interesting site about Automotive Software ,Automotive Repair Shop Software,Car Dealership Software,Car Maintenance Software .Please visit us.

    I always used to use Mapquest, but since they stopped you right-clicking and copying the map so you could save it to print larger I stopped. Google maps is a lot nicer to use these days.
    Common problem I still have is that some addresses in the USA are not shown where they whould be. Even the other week I tried to find somewhere, but it was at least 3 miles away from where the map said it was.
    Nice lens though, 5 *****
