Long way around
From Ohio to Canton, GA took us 2 1/2 - 3 hrs out of the way. Did NOT have no highways checked. Would have been much closer to stay on I 75 to 575. That is the way we left. MUCH closer.
2025-06-17
Not working at all
Very wonky on iPhone, often just closes out after requesting directions and here on iPad I get NOTHING but a picture of a little girl????
2025-06-17
Great App
Really glad I found this App after having to delete Google Maps and Apple Maps due to their incorrect map and complicity. It’s been working great for me so far!
2025-06-15
Despite keeping the gulf of mexico...
Do not get me wrong, I like that you still use "Gulf of Mexico" when nobody else does (except onthegomap but that is not navigation anyway). However, I know that this holdout is the only thing keeping you alive right now. Your GPS assistant keeps mispronouncing words (e.g. The is pronounced as tree), lacks modern features, has adverts, and recently crashed during walking directions, messing up our route.
TL;DR The gulf earned you 4 stars, but the rest of your app needs to earn the fifth and it is not doing so.
2025-06-13
Just one li’l thing missing
Super great I just wish it told how long ur destination is and how much time is left of ur drive
2025-06-11
Gulf of Mexico!!
Thank you for staying with the name Gulf of Mexico . Please continue to stand up for what is right. I so appreciate all of you.
2025-06-11
Not nearly as useful as it used to be.
Just like everything else these days, it only seems to show you what they profit from. Many local businesses are not displayed in search results.
Terrible color contrast makes it difficult to see in low and bright light. Major streets names often are not in the field of view.
Basically the same kind of garbage as every other app, just different tags and marketing.

Most screwed up directions I’ve ever seen in my life
These directions are so screwed up you’ve got things on the wrong side of the road. We was trying to get from Salem to new Waterford and your directions. Had me take a right turn on 14. We ended up back on 45 right back in Salem.
2025-05-24
Option
It should give me the option to edit the route. MapQuest always takes the longest route to get you there.
2025-05-23
LOUD ADS!!!!!
Horrible ads ruin a good app.
2025-05-21
Inaccurate Destinations from Contacts
Ive not experienced this many inaccuracies for while. Some Addresses in Contacts are not populating correctly. However, I can enter the same Contact information in Google Maps without any problem. Also, Settings is not reflecting my Home Address accurately. And, it’s showing a bogus Work Address. How do these errors happen when the dat in my Google Account is accurate? I’ve spent hours trying to square this away. Still not right.
2025-05-20
Look, it’s …
Simply phenomenal.
2025-05-20
Full carplay support
I’ll consider paying for the subscription to support MapQuest once CarPlay support is better. I can’t view navigation on the Home Screen (with MapQuest on the left and directions/music on the right) and that’s kind of a deal breaker for me.
2025-05-20
App does not work
App does not work - stuck on intro screen w/ no way to continue!

True Fact, Gulf of Mexico
MapQuest deserves a 5 for preserving a historic name, the Gulf of Mexico, a part of history that should not be erased at the whim of a dictator. Thank you!
2025-05-19
very irritating
annoying ads interfere with use I will delete it if you keep annoying me
2025-05-17
Not working on my O phone
Won’t work
2025-05-15
Not Integrated
This app does not integrate well with Apple Car Play. When I use Siri it doesn‘t allow me to dictate where I want to go. I appreciate that they didn’t bow and kept the Gulf of Mexico however I have to go back to the AM for safety reasons.
2025-05-14
easy to use map app
i can find the restaraunt address because it populates automatically after you type it in. accurrate.
2025-05-13
Awesome, sometimes
The good: Mapquest does the job it’s supposed to do. It will sometimes offer several routes to choose from and calculates time go destination pretty accurately. It also works pretty good in fringe areas but has been lost a few times way out in the country. The not so good: it does sense the speed you are driving but doesn’t display accurate mph. It sometimes orients the map incorrectly and seems to give conflicting verbal instructions. I have learned the blue route lines are always right. It does not warn of police or hazards but will attempt to reroute you. However, hitting reroute to save traffic backups only works occasionally and cannot be relied on. It will connect to my blue tooth about 99 % of the time on the first try but it’s not stable or reliable to a fault. You will lose blue tooth map verbal directions if you plug in the data cable. I followed all the directions until near exhaustion trying to re establish the voice guidance. Occasionally I can get it to work again, mostly I have to choose to let my phone nearly die bc I have to drive in traffic and if I plug it in the verbal directions just play out of my phone speaker. There are other glitches but I cannot recall them all. Dropping verbal directions is almost enough to cause me to look elsewhere for another application. I don’t want to use Google maps because it’s so spammy but it had none of these issues I keep tolerating. Please fix these issues so I can at least hear the directions even when I have to charge my phone.

False information
It has false information and names of sea and gulfs.
2025-05-06
WHAT HAPPENED?!
I appreciated using it between two points when most GPS works only give directions from where you are.
Something changed & it's stuck in like a Lego pic. I deleted & reinstalled, but it's still there! No way around it.
2025-05-06
Labels Gulf correctly but doesn’t work…
Thank you for labeling the Gulf of Mexico correctly unlike Google and Apple Maps. Unfortunately this app hasn’t been reliable to use so it loses stars for that. Sometimes I’ll try searching something very generic like “usps” and no results show. Other times I’ll have issues during navigation like no voice even though map sounds is on. Still, I’ll keep trying to use this app before opening Google maps. Hopefully this app will be a good replacement for Google and Apple in the future.
2025-05-05
Maps are out of date
Maps are out of date and not useful. Need to verify maps with Google or Apple Maps so not worth it.
2025-04-27
Maps with courage
I appreciate that you are not changing with the whims of a dictator wannabe. And the directions are great also. Always seems to find the fastest route to get me to my destination.
2025-04-24
App won’t work
Did update and now I only get a picture. I used to love this app but now nothing
2025-04-20
I want to love it…
But I can’t. Yet.
Pro: gives route options. Responsive customer service, though they can’t really do/help much. Says Gulf of Mexico.
Cons: lots of bugs, such as with CarPlay and trying to manage layers (doesn’t seem to do anything). But most importantly, the location data is severely out of date. I’m talking “businesses open 9 months with 40 yelp reviews but still don’t show” out of date.
Also the lack of public transit data. It now means I have to manage my travel between two apps, which is not ideal.
I’m hoping the recent influx of users (and therefore more ad revenue) will mean some investment in the app. Fingers crossed.
2025-04-18
Need a magnifying glass to read the route
App works ok but the highway markers on the route aren’t friendly to aged eyes. No amount of zooming helps, the route markers stay small.
2025-04-13
Ads prevent me from using it
Lately when I try to use it ads pop up and I can’t get ride if them
2025-04-13
HELP!!!
I can’t create an account in the app. When I created an account in my browser, it doesn’t recognize it in the app!!
2025-04-12
accurate map
i couldn’t seem to find a reliable gps with an accurate map of the world, gulf of mexico is correct. however taking away a star because PALESTINE is not on your map. suspicious
2025-04-12
Gulf of Mexico
I will HAPPILY pay $2 a month to support a company that doesn’t bend the knee to the Comrade in Chief.
2025-04-12
Bad for Searching
It’s a good app if you already know the name or address of the place you’re going. If enter something simple like haircut it returns nothing.
2025-04-08
Yeah! Mapquest!!
Just learned today that Mapquest still has enough integrity and common sense to call the Gulf of Mexico by its name. Mapquest is my go to map app now and will be as long as they continue to be correct and courageous.
I grew up on Mapquest. I do love it’s an app and doesn’t require a printer and a team of paper.
Were with you on this Mapquest!
2025-04-05
Back to the Original
Thank you, MapQuest! I appreciate the simplicity of your app. Updates are great, searches seem faster to me. My only feedback would be larger print for my old eyes.
2025-04-04
Doesn’t work
I don’t know if it was updated by it does not work at all
2025-04-04
Immobile ad covers access
Used to work great. Now there is a Verizon ad in front everytime and no way to remove it. Very frustrating.
2025-04-03
My new map app of choice
Gulf of Mexico baby! You rock MapQuest
2025-04-01
Frozen
It is frozen on some add and there is no way to close it. I have rebooted my phone and deleted and reinstalled the app. No luck. What the heck?
2025-03-31
Not good anymore for those of us with older XS max
I can no longer use this app as the arrow to get to the app after now showing advertisements is not selectable being behind my camera area/ speaker as this version phone does not allow that space to be usable. Disappointed.
2025-03-30
Serious updates needed
I love these hometown guys and really want to use this app in the wake of the change of the name of the Gulf of MEXICO on other apps. But the app interface is very clunky and CarPlay interface was very problematic for not being able to see far enough ahead to navigate. On a trip just made it didn’t tell me what side of the road the destination was on, and it was not visible on the CarPlay screen until I was on top of it.
2025-03-30
free and easy to use
I love that this app is free and easy to use. I’ve been using Mapquest since before GPS became prevalent and look forward to continuing to use it.
2025-03-30
Works well but needs updated
Mapquest has always had a strong offering in the GPS arena and has route planning. Add-free is affordable at $1.99/mo .. especially when lowest price I found on other route planning apps was $9.99/mo. Unfortunately, the programmers have not updated to the latest landmark names and has THE GULF OF AMERICA listed incorrectly. Hopefully they will set aside political differences and show their American patriotism by resolving that soon. Otherwise .. GoogleMaps and/or AppleMaps can perform routing algorithms just as well .. and the nomenclature of their maps is up to date. May God Bless The Gulf of America … and all of the USA.
2025-03-29
Not a happy mapper
Tried to get a confirmation on a road closure, while it gave us the alternative route it changed as we were getting ready to exit and took us straight into the road closure instead
2025-03-27
Gulf of Mexico
Coming back to GPS routes with Mapquest! I wish they would make it so that it could show up in CarPlay in the split dash or homepage mode. Whatever it’s called. I’ve removed google maps, Apple Maps and Waze and now it opens my weather radar app as the default map. It would be amazing if they could change that.
2025-03-26
Never should have left you, Mapquest
Here because it’s the only map app that is doing the right thing and keeping ‘Gulf of Mexico’. Nice to be back using Mapquest after my 20year hiatus from the early 2000s online.
2025-03-25
Nice options
Prefer over google.
2025-03-24
Great app!
Absolutely love this app - took a minute to de-program myself from Crapple Maps and Google Craps, but once I got used to it I love it.
I changed my “me” icon to a dinosaur and that’s amazing. Satellite mode is super good too.
2025-03-24
Denver to Newfoundland
Does not provide per leg miles between stops
2025-02-22
I wanna go whole hog but..
This app needs a few more features to make me leave Apple behind. The ads are frustrating but it’s ok. The map has to be integrated with Apple Watch apps so that there is something tactile happening to alert us to exits or turns. The app has to be able to pop up on the phone when exits and turns are about to happen. I turned my screen off after opening Mapquest to navigate and it never opened once on my drive. If I’m on a phone call, the app has to have a notification that drops in to advise of upcoming information. Whether it’s an exit, turn or speed check. We also need to provide feedback. Accidents, debris and speed checks! So make the app work in those ways, and I will delete Apple Maps! I’m here for it. And I’d even pay a one time fee to use it, but I won’t pay monthly for gps. I’m keeping Mapquest for another month or so! Hopefully more people run to download it to give developers motivation. The app right now is really a 3.5, but I don’t want to rate a 3! Keep it up and keep going!!
2025-02-21
Ethical company - the original MAP app
I’ve gotten rid of my Apple and my Google maps and will be using MapQuest from here on out. Not only are they accurate, but they have not changed for political motives. This is crucial being that Maps need to be consistently universal for navigation, aeronautics, and aviation. Changing maps, on the request of one person. Is not only inaccurate but can be misleading for those seeking directions. In addition, MapQuest answers feedback quickly, whereas with the other two companies have shut off feedback functions unwilling to listen to their customers. Thank you MapQuest for being the OG and the best.
2025-02-16
Great App, Great Accuracy, Great Integrity
I remember when Mapquest first came out; it was an incredible tool then, and it’s still the gold standard for accuracy.
TBH, I’ve been using Mapquest and its competitors interchangeably for a number of years now, primarily for the convenience of the others being pre-installed on my devices. But since Apple and Google chose to capitulate to the petulant whims of a certain pair of individuals, they have shown that they can’t be relied upon. Only Mapquest can be trusted to provide accurate information. And while not a big fan of ads, I’d prefer to spend my money with a firm that also supports your decision to stand up to the bullying.
2025-02-11
Alternative routes
I would like to suggest a possibility that your application has perhaps not considered. Alternate routes. I tried to get the App to show me a route that I know I found before while using the app. Instead it just wanted to turn me around to the main street leading to my house. Where there was police presence and the tow truck pulling ahead of me to get to a wreck. I didn’t want that route. It was blocked. It might be useful in these situations to have a button to show alternate routes. I finally found a second way that I had also used before. But since I was following guidance I didn’t remember how to get there.
I think this would be useful for people in semi rural areas with winding roads that want to reach a destination that is blocked. I thank you for your consideration.
2025-01-13
Time to move on
I’ve been using MapQuest since the days of printing directions out on my computer to take with me. I don’t take a lot of road trips, but when I do, I’ve always appreciated MapQuest’s directions. Recently I opened the app to look up routes to a place I wanted to visit, and found out that now you literally can’t do anything in the app without watching a full-screen ad first. The banner advertising has never bothered me before, but since obtrusive and time-consuming full screen ads are the normal experience now I am deleting the app and will not return. Devs, don’t even bother responding to this asking me to try the new ad-free service; I’m not going to. Other apps that do the same thing as yours are free and don’t abuse their user base like this. There’s no reason for me to pay you to give me what someone else does (and what I’ve counted on from you for over 25 years) for free.
2024-12-03
Surprisingly Great
I downloaded this purely out of curiosity and nostalgia, but ended up being happily surprised with the ease of use and the functionality that the MapQuest app provides. Obviously, this app isn’t as refined as Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze but I would argue that this app can hold its own against all three of those without much issue. I also like the layers functionality where you can pick and choose different location types to add to your map to make them viewable. All in all I would definitely recommend this app to anyone thinking about trying it out, but keep in mind what I mentioned earlier about it not being as refined, don’t expect a MapQuest themed Google Maps app - that’s definitely not what this is, it’s its own thing and IMO it’s pretty neat!
2024-10-18
Sad to lose this app
I have used Mapquest as my primary GPS for many years. It was originally free but at some point put auditory ads on during the route. But they offered an ad free version for a one time fee. I gladly paid to get rid of the ads. Now there are ads again - visual this time. They come up before I can enter my destination and even had a video pop up before it would load my directions. Happens I was in a hurry and I was SO FRUSTRATED! I e-mailed customer service and got a “sorry ads keep the app free” response. But remember - I paid for ad free. It wasn’t much and it was a one time fee many years ago. I offered to pay again or subscribe, but no way to get rid of the ads. So, sadly, I will get rid of Mapquest. I left 2 stars in recognition of the fact that it works well but took away 3 because it blocks my access with the ads.
2024-07-30
Used to work great, now not so much
Are used to use MapQuest all the time as I was driving a great deal and it was on my phone and it was easy to understand and gave precise directions. Now it just seems like the app is gone downhill when I select a route. It doesn’t tell me the road I’m on anymore so now to tell which route I need to take I have to go into the directions and read the directions where asked for it would show the primary road that each route would use now it just offers to blank spaces where that used to be. I have gone to using Google maps because at least their app actually works. I reached out to MapQuest privately and made them aware of this issue years ago but they still don’t fix it.
2024-07-07
Great Navigation app
Second#2Update: it’s great and easy to understand and use but seems like the developer just left it be! An update is a must otherwise everything else is great.
Update: please update the app, it’s a great app and it’s disappointing if you just let it be… I love this app! Easy to use and many features it offers like the layouts and re-route, and gives you few options to pick from the beginning And Many more:) I pick this over waze or google map unless I get in trouble Just one thing to mention and for first time it gave me a little trouble was: the final destination was close to highway (28 North in VA) and in the highway stopped by saying I’m arrived and location is on the right! instead of take me from different road and take me to the address where I could park! Sorry it’s hard to explain but I think you got what happened. So if there is any way to fix it to take the user closer to the address would be great so I don’t have to stop in the highway where I could see the building but not a great place to leave my car lol But thanks a lot for making this great app available for us:)

I like Mapquest a lot
Mapquest has always rated extremely high in my opinion… until today!! I went to Indiana. They have so many areas of road construction, I can’t really blame Mapquest But I was directed to take roads that turned out to be closed to through traffic. I can’t tell you how many times that happened from Kokomo, IN to Lafayette, IN. I ended up on gravel roads- really new gravel roads. I was afraid someone would fly by me and break my windshield. Then I got into a place where a road closure even confused my App! She repeated the same instructions she’d already given! Then it said something went wrong. Then nothing worked and I didn’t have a map App any longer. I ended up going miles further than I should have. Of course I have the Toyota that is so complicated. Sometimes I don’t get a voice so I have to hold the phone to my ear and drive one-handed. I understand to get that fixed I can look at spending over a grand!
2023-06-28
Never works properly
The search function often doesn’t work. When it does (rarely) it waits to tell you when you are within 100 feet of your turn that you are supposed to turn (by cutting across 2-4 lanes to then get into the proper turn lane… ridiculous. Street names have been replaced by turn right in 100 feet. So instead of focusing on the road and driving, you have to guesstimate what 100
Feet is because the app can’t be bothered to tell you the actual street name! Many street names are replaced with CR and a number as if anyone goes by the CR. Ridiculous. So instead of watching the road ahead, you are now forced to look for signs to tell you the CR. The map and instructions do not advance and so while driving, you have to manually advance it so you can have an accurate and up to date idea of where you are in your route. Dangerous distraction. Every time I go to get on I90 the directions never tell me which direction E or W, it always says it’s going to be on the left when both ramps are on the right. Mapquest is a vehicle accident waiting to happen! I’ve deleted, re-added this app several times and it still doesn’t work properly. It’s gotten so bad that at times I just use google maps or another app so I can actually get to where I’m going safely. If there was less that one star review, that would be my review of Mapquest. Years ago it actually worked well. Now it’s a danger to use and drive.
2023-06-21
Found Mapquest again.
Last year I had it on one of my 4 home pages. But it vanished.
So needing a direction app I still have Maps and Google Maps.
I did not like the only route choices the supplied. Not finding any way to learn how to change them recalled the name Mapquest and re-installed it. However by going directly to the Mapquest website I was able to have many more options. It was easy to set up our five stops trip and it choose the most direct path (resulting in less time and miles. It was easy to print and allowed me to save the link so when our trip date arrives I can just reload it.

Very accurate information
I sometimes have to travel for medical appointments, for my veteran care. I want to say I don’t like traveling alone, but I had a very important meeting I could not miss! I used the Map Quest app it was spot on! I made my appointment with time to spare! Not one hiccup!
Map Quest was or maybe still is online? Around 2002+, I for one could map out a destination and print out directions with complete accuracy. Map Quest got me to Oklahoma and back! I have used Map Quest so much in the past I have complete confidence in their ability to find my destination!
BONUS: I even had a better route to take to my appointment! I was given a map in my packet to find the location.🫤! Thanks Map Quest! Your navigation took me a much safer route, and I appreciate your support to keep us safer!

Not practical
The first time I used MapQuest it took me out of the way and thru neighborhoods right left etc. I wondered if it was sponsored by gas companies or something.
Today we left my house it took me to 213 and then it lost its mind. It took me across 205 then take a left and get on 205 then take exit 9 to McLaughlin take a left go a number of tenths to on ramp to 205 to the left. Go straight on 205. The very first off ramp is to 213 where we started! You can get on 205 in the correct direction from 205. So we made a circle and wasted both time and gas to go in the correct direction. The way home was worse. Put me on Stark it goes 205 but the app wanted me to take a left into a neighborhood. Then it took me to another neighborhood street and then take a right on Division and then a left on to 205.
This app takes you way out of the way into neighborhoods instead of taking major roads and does not take the most direct route.

Needs an update
I kept getting messages to install the update even after I did. What update? The app still functions EXACTLY the same. Voice guidance only works 1% of the time. What I do like is that it offers several alternative routes to choose from. However, it takes too long to tell you step by step directions which often causes me to miss turns and exits. Pauses A LOT which means i sometimes drive quite a while before I realize it’s stuck on the last direction and I’ve missed an exit or turn because it hasn’t updated on the screen yet. There’s so much that needs to be fixed with this app. Is it made to work with iPhones??? If the things I’m talking about could be fixed I’d choose this app over Apple Maps and Google but as for now I have to run one of them in the background while using this one because Mapquest is so unreliable.

Best navigation app
Got tired of Apple telling me how to go to a place. Their way or the highway. Wish I could remove it from my phone.
Switched to Waze but found it too caricaturish.
Used Google maps for many years and they have improved it greatly. However sometimes it gives me wrong directions🤪
Mapquest has been around for a very long time. First time I used It was back in the early 2,000s and got paper directions. Never got lost. Last summer I found them once again. I fell in love with their satellite mode. Haven’t turned back to anyone else. Spot on all the time. It’s always giving me choices of routes. I love them and highly recommended them.

Good and awful
While Mapquest rescued me from Siri’s outrageous blunder, it got the destination wrong too. All the while, since I was so happy Mapquest got me on the right track, I did start wondering why this road, that road, etc. it finally hit me something was very wrong. I manually entered my destination in WV. I pulled off the road and tried to communicate like you can with Siri but couldn’t. While going through the app looking for a way, my jaw dropped. I was on my way to a destination two hours from me. I looked to see Joe much further home is and it’s an hour. This nightmare started with Siri at 1:00 yesterday. I never made it to my dr until 6pm well after everyone went home because she gave me the scenic route. Then coming home I didn’t recognize so many places but she does take different routes a lot. Before I knew it, I’d been driving home for four hours in a two hour trip. I asked Siri how much longer to get home. One and a half hour. Well as I said, sort of the same thing happened with Mapquest and before I realized it, I found I had an extra hour before I would finally get home. 1pm yesterday and I’m writing this review on the spot I figured Mapquest out. (One hour from home) it is now 5:45 am. I haven’t been this angry in ages.

Simple and Mighty Hepful
What I think I like best about MapQuest is that in addition to verbal directions you can ALSO see the directions WRITTEN OUT! I MUCH prefer following written directions and now I don't have to write them on a notepad to follow! This app is simple, easy to use and I've never had MapQuest directions (I've been using them for years) take me to the wrong place. I appreciate the accuracy of the listed directions and the fact that they utilize LANDMARKS because when I give or receive directions I ALWAYS seek to give or get info about landmarks - turn left at the car wash or bear right at the fork in the road near the Texaco or some such. I feel confident using MapQuest to find my way around new areas. Thank you, MapQuest!

Used to be great but now….
MapQuest has been my go to map app for over a decade. Once a route was mapped, I used to be able to zoom in around the destination to view the exit I would get off on and/or use the layers to find restaurants around the destination. About 6 months ago, the ability to zoom in on the destination went away. As soon as you start zooming or drag away from your starting point, it revolts and snaps you back to the starting point. I have been in touch with their Tech Support numerous times, sent them screen recordings of what is happening and each time they come back with "it's supposed to snap back to the starting point"…if I hadn't been using it for 10+ years and didn't realize how useless it is to me now, I wouldn't be complaining. I've tried Google maps and I just don't see the same features.
I see that someone else recently posted a review here about the same issue so I know it’s not just me…

Worst mapping app ever.
I’m trying to map out a route with multiple stops. Map quest is great you can add 28 stops… but wait don’t miss click or swipe you will lose everything multiple times. Did I want to go to this place let me see. Click on it, nope everything is gone except the place you didn’t want to go. Copy an address from your email to add that,mapquest is smart and says o you copied an address from your email warp you to another screen when you’re trying to add a stop swip gone. We’re you working on a route but you have to run an errand you want to save it for later nope too bad just hit drive and sent it to your email and figure out what email was first. What’s the point of having an account when you can’t save anything. Deleting right now I’ve wasted hours adding 50 stops 3 times. I will get out the old paper map and pencil.
2021-08-17
Time consuming/annoying only @ first. I hope!!
I am already finding as I just created an account then switched to the app, that in order to save maps (directions I need to access in a very speedy many after work tomorrow), that I must FIRST do so on a desktop computer (WHATTT??), then I will be allowed to save maps & directions on the mobile app after doing so!!! What is the point of a mobile app then? How many of us have desktop computers these days anyway? I’m already annoyed about the way this app works. Idk why Google maps (though I’m NOT a fan of google) only allows you to pinch in a location to get to from your current location. If you’re needing to have a location to get to from say, work…. but aren’t at work at the moment, it doesn’t allow you to find directions. Only type in one address and will get you there from where you’re at, at the time. Really dumb.

Best GPS app available
I have used Mapquest for several years while I was living in Northern California and now in the Chicagoland area. I even used it for my trip from California to Illinois. I like that you are told when and where to turn enough time ahead of the turn. Other apps I’ve used tell you at the last minute to make your turn. The map also shows an arrow indicating which direction you will be moving in for a turn or fork in the road. Another thing I really like is if for some reason I take a different street Mapquest will recalculate based on my new location and plan the new course. I can find destinations based on addresses and on the name of the destination e.g. a hospital, movie theater, restaurant, closest Starbucks (very important to me :)). If you’re looking for a GPS app that will get you where you want to go pick Mapquest.

NEEDS TWEAKING
I use this app almost exclusively, when I need to find a location. My biggest issue is being taken on the least direct way...a/k/a the “scenic route.” TODAY, I knew where I wanted to go, but MapQuest took me a different direction. I wasn’t concerned about getting lost, etc. I thought the app may be showing me a shortcut. NOT!
I drove (busy) local backroads and was 10 minutes late getting to my destination! Yesterday, my destination was 1/2 mile + from where the app stated it was! This has happened quite a number of times, over the last few years. Sometimes, the address is shown on the opposite side of the road.
ALSO I don’t like the feature of double lines, when I’m close to arrival. I usually end up re-entering the addresses. I’m not always able to pull over to do this. Please change this, so the app will indicate exact mileage. Thanks

MapQuest is better than google maps
I can use my fingers to pinch and move the map around in circles, side ways etc like Apple Maps that’s in my iPhone. Google maps is difficult to do any of those finger gestures which is a pain when you are driving in the moment. Plus Apple Maps is a pain because it automatically switches routes on you as you drive further into your 1st route that you picked and it’s stressful! When I’m driving I know that I picked route #1 option and refused route 2 or 3 for reasons but Apple Maps will automatically switch the route even when you are trying to exit off or onto a freeway or major intersection which is dangerous!!! It never used to be like that. I can’t stand google maps on my iPhone. Google maps does better on a laptop for research if you’re looking into greater details for research of cities, driving distance, businesses in the area or trying to google drive in their map system to see what an area looks like virtually to plan your move or road trip in general. All in all, gonna try to use Mapquest in my car while driving more often than Apple Maps.

No updates despite complaints
I used to use this app all the time as it has some nice features. However, I have taken the time to report, via email, multiple times about poor navigation by this app in Seattle and providing clear details and maps to explain the problem. However, after 9 months of a key bridge in Seattle being closed (and alternate smaller lower bridge only being open to emergency vehicles and busses) this app continues to route me across this non-passable roadway without offering alternative routes. Developers of this app have even replied to my emails, thanking me for alerting them to this problem and promising to fix it, there is NO CHANGE! So...I give up. Clearly the developers do not care about routing accuracy. (In addition to this specific routing problem, the app is very slow to provide instructions to turn, and I’ve missed my exits several times because of this.)
Too bad, because this could have been a great app, but I’m done!

3 Apps...I use Mapquest the most
Although I’m extremely technologically deficient I have found MapQuest more user friendly. We are on an extended trip at a very unusual time but I felt the need to see family. That meant Austin, Texas to Hartland, Michigan for a week, moving on to Ann Arbor, MI. for some 10 more days and now the trip home. Kind of anyway. I had always wanted to go to Shipshewana so off we went-then due to some predicted rough weather instead of going a tad East and headed South toward TN- we took a northwest turn and landed in the Wisconsin Dells for a couple days. We’re headed West this morning. All that to say I’ve had better luck finding needed stops for gas, food and lodging on MapQuest.
I know I probably could use it to review different routes without deleting them so I could compare but I haven’t figured that out yet. I’m responsible for “navigating” and I will continue to use this application!

I will stick to google
Years ago, my friend recommended mapquest since I hated google. I never really paid attention but I always had to search for the exact name or address in order for the app to show me the address or else I would get some random results in other states. No issue. I kept doing it. I recently went back to using google maps again, and I alternate between them. Mapquest mainly for residential addresses. I started getting used to google and how easy is for me to find the location even with variation of name. I recently submitted a help request ticket with mapquest. Someone by the name of Francisco scolded me on how I should enter the name correctly. That was the whole point of my ticket, having to enter It exactly as it is in order for the app to find it. What if you have an elderly or someone with any type of disability that it’s unable to write or hear the EXACT ADDRESS OF NAME OF BUSINESS? I rather stick with google maps after this. People make mistakes or can’t write done the names exactly as they are. I was expecting the app to be more like google maps but I guess not.

Awesome
I have used Mapquest for several years now, and it is so quick and precise.
I got sucked into a pre-programmed Google search and struggled with it far too long round and round, not giving me what i needed. So got out of that and used my Mapquest app. Within seconds i had th info i needed. Truly a wonderful app!
Above is a rating from several yrs sgo, i never finished, so i will now. Some of the streamlined, bare bones graphics are gone now, for those of us with dyslexic difficulties, it adds confusion. I especially miss the ability to have a set of printed instructions, which i cud ck out to give me a familiar pic of my destination. Many times, I didn’t have to look at it again. I cud also give this to a passenger to keep me on track when going further distances. After im in my car theres nothing better than hooking up to the animated instruction, although too many times there are still instructions which take one way out of the way getting started, instead of the path of least resistance.
All in all, i much prefer this app over Google, with all that plethora of topical photo confusion! In a world of TMI, this just serves to add more junk to sort out.

I didn’t know how important this app was...
...Until my son, daughter-in-law and grandkids were headed to the Oakland Airport very early this morning. My own car has a navigation system and so I’m spoiled. But we took my son’s travel-packed car; a 10 year old Honda CRV (great car), with no navigation system. I loaded the Mapquest app this morning as he drove to the airport for the first time from the North Bay. We were there in no time. Then, the ride back was a breeze after I dropped them off. I was a little nervous about driving back by myself from the airport, but Mapquest delivered! I was back home in the North Bay, safe and sound in about 35 minutes! Amazing! Thank you, Mapquest! I’m senior citizen who is fairly tech-savvy for my age group, but let me tell you...this app is so user friendly, anyone can use it! Thank you! ❤️

Much better than any other driving apps
I like this App so much. It saved my life after I moved to a new city. I never got lost. The audio warned me at just the right time if I had to turn but if I wanted to know before the audio started I could just look down at the map and up top it shows me whether I will be going right or left soon. One thing I just used it for that gave me great piece of mind is that I hired a pet sitter to stay overnight with my cats and dog. I had never used her and had no neighbors to ask if her car was in the driveway. I went to the satellite view and saw my car and her car in the driveway. It was a little blurry because I was homing on so much. But it was definitely her car and mine in the driveway so now I know she isn’t just feeding them and bolting. Thanks so much for a great app!
2019-08-01
Darn awesome for once!
I am happy with Mapquest because it’s not full of a bunch of time consuming B.S. You can enter your starting location and then enter your destination and it gives you the way to go! The total miles and approximate time is listed as well as the Hwy. I live in a very rural area so there is usually not many different ways to get somewhere but if there’s an alternative route it’ll give me that option which is nice. I am grateful for keeping it simple to use. Unfortunately, nowadays apps are really filled with so much unnecessary stuff and are huge to install and hard to navigate. Thank you Mapquest for keeping it simple and effective.

Finally come of age
Wow I’m impressed. I worked for MapQuest in the 90s when we were a startup from GeoSystems. I’m long gone now, but after stumbling onto an article about what happen to MapQuest, I decided to download the app for iPhone. Fantastic product. The partnership with towing vehicles is great. Love seeing all the old travel data stops available to turn on and off. Imagery!!!! OMG they finally got Imagery! I firmly believe that missing layer is what let google supersede the house hold name of MapQuest. The traffic camera is another great option. I miss the company, people, and now I at least have a product I can use again and be proud to tell others about. I’d love to see you partner with GasBuddy to post fuel pricing next to the gas stations. That’s my only update request. Great work!! Great product! Welcome back MapQuest! Tim O

😄 Amazing! 😄
Before smartphones were invented me and my family have always used and trusted MapQuest to get us to our destination. When me and my mom got smartphones we tried Google Maps. It sucked! It’s was always either getting us lost and/or taking us the long way! When I discovered that MapQuest had an app not only did it bring back memories, but I also thought this would be way better and trustworthy. What makes this app even better is it gives you the option(s) to avoid certain routes like tolls, highways, unpaved roads, etc. It’s like some say, “Never mess with a working formula” and I/we have always trusted MapQuest. My only disappointment is not discovering it much, much sooner.

Much better options out there
I downloaded MapQuest just to see how the mobile app was. Needless to say I hadn’t used mapquest in years dating back to when directions would needed to be printed on paper. As the years went by, technology evolved pacing way for Garmin and then iOS apps like Google Maps and Waze for navigation. The mapquest interface is pretty interesting. I do love the way I am able to search for points of interest. This is much better on mapquest than say waze. The speed limits are also handy but mapquest is missing some critical features it’s competitors have. For one there is no lane guidance. In addition, the stock voice that comes with the app is hideous. It is so bad that I prefer the old Garmin voice to it. Jane on Waze and the default Google Maps voice or Siri on Apple Maps is much better. Overall, I think it’s a cool niche app but unless you absolutely despise Google and it’s services, Waze and Google Maps are MUCH better options.

Mapquest is sending error msgs ‘try again’
I gave the app a great review a year or so ago, which is below. But what’s the deal with Mapquest, I put in an address that I’ve used before and it sends me an ‘error’ message and says to try again. I tried different addresses and it gives me this error every time?? It’s very aggravating it does nothing but spin as if it’s loading info but will only drain the life out of your phone instead. Please tell me you’re addressing this issue, I didn’t realize how much I relied on Mapquest until I couldn’t get it to load directions.
I started using Mapquest over 5 years ago after Google maps took us to a vacant pasture for our daughters out of state track meet. I downloaded Mapquest immediately to put us in the right place. Our daughter ran collegiate level with us following her across many states, from Illinois to Florida. Mapquest has never led my husband and I astray. I won’t use any other mapping service. I love that it gives you alternative routes when possible. Thank you, Mapquest!

I like it !
I recently downloaded this app only last night , so I’m going to wait a little to rate . And will be back to write a more extensive review
However I did want to mention that I used the app for my morning commute to work just to see how it operates .
The app really has everything you need , though I think the navigators voice could use an update as it sounds a little too robotic .
I was happy to not be disappointed 🎶 . I’ve been trying other gps apps to get away from IOS due to its lack of dependability. I tried Waze yesterday morning and it wanted to take me some wonky way to work . This morning however , though my route was not all together my usual route , your app took me a way I hadn’t thought of before avoiding several stop lights , adding no extra time to my morning commute .
I do a lot of driving for work , and I will be giving this app a work out today .

Easy to use
We will be going on a trip to a city far from our home. We will be staying at a central location and visiting a number of other locations. Mapquest has been a huge help in scheduling us visiting all these secondary locations and finding the distance between them. The program saves each address so it is not necessary to continue to enter any address more than once. It also should be a help at anytime a person does know where he/she is but wants to know how far it is to a certain address as it has the word “current” which locates where you are. NOW, just hope the GPS is accurate and doesn’t say “we have arrived” when we haven’t like some GPS systems do. I shall return here if I have problems!!

Better Option
I like MapQuest better than the system in my car or Google maps because it gives me the option of 2 to 3 different routes to take. I can then see which route has the least traffic and select that one. The others only default to the one option and you get what you get.
Today I was coming home from Santa Fe Springs California to Ventura California. And The route that I chose had me go through the five freeway. However at a certain section when I had the option to choose the 101 or the five freeway it had me take the 101. I noticed that the 5 was at a dead stop at the intersection. All the 101 flowed. And then it had me take the next offramp and I was on city streets. I was a little confused but I thought I would go with it to see what happened. And what it did was it took me through non-congested city streets back onto the five freeway via the 110 freeway which eliminated me from having to be stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for quite a distance. That I thought was a winner!

Much better mapping system
I downloaded this app a few years ago, and quite honestly (and I apologize developers) it wasn’t junk, but I wouldn’t trust it to drive down the street. Many addresses would not show up, the map would change directions in the middle of turns, and things like that. However, I’m happy to report that this version works better to me than Apple Maps, and Google maps. I like how the map flows, and I like the information that it provides.
I don’t know how often it updates new roads, because we’ve had a new road open through our housing area about a year ago. But it’s OK, I can live with little small things.
All in all, I would really recommend this GPS mapping system, and glad to know they worked out a lot of bugs. Remember developers (and this is very important), “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it!”👍

The online page works better
I didn’t want to rare this app with stars because I just got it. But there’s no alternative, to leave feedback you have to give a star rating.
I downloaded the app because I wanted to check on future traveling options from a location to another location other than where I am right now. Period. But The app will not let me put in two places other than where I am. One of my choices on this app has to be my current location and since I’m trying to find directions to and from places other than where I am it won’t work. A message comes up demanding to know my current location and freezes the app until I allow location services. there is no way of overriding the current location thing. The online page will let me do that without current location. This app may or may not work for me.

My Opinion “never get lost again”
I used a different app for a while and got sick of constantly taking the long way around, which is the only directions it seemed to give. This app “so far, so good” I believe In my opinion that it is the most “updated” app for current directions. This app even had the name of a brand new road to a housing development that there was only one home built so far. After updating both my Tom Tom and other app, neither one had the name of the road posted; actually one of them didn’t even show that there was a new road made, as this once was woods. Along with directions for driving, they also supply excellent routes for walking to your destination. I know this is long and detailed but when u are lost in an area “with no road names,” scared, and now need gas from driving in circles, finding this app with correct directions home was priceless. If one person reads the whole thing and they never go through that, it is worth the write.

Poor Customer Relations
I am very disappointed in Regency Car wash!! A section on my back bumper was damaged by the wash. When I brought it to the manager on site attention she referred me to a general manager. When I spoke with this GM “Jose Nestali” he was very rude with no customer service skills. He demanded that I send pictures of the damage, which I did. He said he would call me back within an hour which he never did. I call him instead. He said that he had spoken to his boss and that they would not do anything about the damage. I asked if I could speak to his boss. He told me that he would text me his phone number, which he never did. After several days I called him again and again he said that he would text his boss number to me and again he did not, until I sent him a text indicating that I had consulted with an attorney. The people that run this car wash only cares about making money. They do not Care about their customers!!
I rate Regency Car Wash a big fat zero.

Wrong name and can not get it fixed
I live in a small town. There is one Street with the right direction on and our Street with the wrong direction on it. When you travel north on a road, and it is call North Street ( any name will do.) And when you get to the next town , you will be on the south side of town but our Street is call north , than when you continue to drive north you come to the north side of town but it is call south. I have reported this problem but I was told it can take six months to fix the problem. I am so glad that my mail and packages still gets delivered to my house , because I still use South on my address. But I have had some business, say that I gave them the wrong address. I have to say where is the sun , what time is it, so which way is north, also do you have a compass on your phone. But do you know that people think map quest can not be wrong. So it takes time to get the business to think about it. But we have had to get things delivered a couple of days later because of this. And if people try to find our house at night, I have to give them land marks to look for. Then they can see that this places are also in the wrong place on map quest. This has been these way for years now.

Good and bad
The good part was that while traveling there were several accidents that google maps told us would cause significant delays, but couldn’t/didn’t give us any alternative routes. Neither did Apple maps. Mapquest gave us the alternative and even alternatives to that route when it started getting backed up. Neither G nor A gave additional alternatives even once knowing we were on a different road.
The bad part is that the available map size was notably smaller than the others, jumped around more, took longer to get the info, and often the names of roads on the map were too small to read easily, and when the map was expanded the street name often disappeared rather than getting larger and more readable.
I find it easier to follow a map, especially if I’m navigating for another driver, rather than following verbal directions that assume you can estimate distances at 50-60 mph. All 3 of the map apps seem to want to jump to that too easily. I don’t know which did it the most, but I did find that with MQ it was difficult to get back to the map without deleting and then putting the destination back in and then at times it wouldn’t/couldn’t connect easily despite having service.

Near Perfection
I am now completely fearless driving in totally unknown places with this app. I do glance at it, as well as listen, so I hear the immediate directions and can also see the (right/left) upcoming turn so as to be in the correct lane. I find it amazingly accurate. Twice now it’s re-routed me so I can avoid traffic jams. That’s seriously golden. It works in rural area as well... in the middle of nowhere it found a cut-through dirt road that got me over to another state highway without having to drive miles around... it just cut through and I knew to trust it although it looked wrong. Shortly I was there. Had I driven around it would have taken much longer. I cannot think of any real improvement unless it can drive my car 🚗!

Long time user
I’ve been using MapQuest since before apps existed. When they created their app, I didn’t hesitate and it has never, ever let me down. If I stop somewhere unexpectedly, it recalculates quickly so that I can get back on track in moments. That I can turn it on for long trips and play it through my car speakers without shutting my music off helps too. It simply pauses my music and says what it needs to say. I have absolutely never had a problem with MapQuest service. I recommend it to others and I even use it to help people who are from out of town to figure out how to get where they need to go! Being able to adjust some of the settings is amazing as well! I get to avoid most toll roads, and if I choose to avoid highways completely it can locate which route will work best for me that way as well. This app, and the paper copies before it, have taken me all over the country. I won’t even consider using another service!

Best for me .
I’m a letter carrier, in December we have to deliver so many parcels and I was very new at this job so don’t know much about 100’s of street and my truck was full of parcels to deliver, so I gave a shot to use Mapquest because it tell me which side houses are are on street, then I figured the BEST part of this app which is it let me put 25 addresses at the same time which made my life so easy and I can see which one comes first and then I start arranging them in order in app and in my truck, one more thing I wish this app would do is let me put around 100 address at the same time and after I put all the address it should arrange all the address accordingly street wise like which street is close by will come first and which one is far it will go last and that will save my more time , because right now that part I have to do manually. I hope they will do this in feature, over all its best for me. I love it, it my work buddy. Thanks guys. Keep it up.

Great maps app!!
Much better than using google maps! Used to use mapquest back in the day before google came out and I’m sooo happy this site developed an app to use!! Recently moved to Texas from CA and have been using this for traveling around the cities! Functions much better and it’s much more reliable when I’ve got no time to deal with google glitching out on me and especially the times it tells me I’m located in a city that’s 400 miles away...wow talk about a big glitch! Have mentioned this to my husband and he has enjoyed using this. He agrees it’s much more reliable! I wish there was a way to have your phone default to Mapquest for directions rather than google maps for the iPhone. Thanks mapquest for making our lives much easier!! And also love how it’s updated with traffic alerts and businesses closed too. Google would take you to the wrong location at times...pretty frustrating!!

Too late for turns
I’m an avid Mapquest user because I’m always having to go to different meeting sites for work and rely on this app because I’m always in an unfamiliar area. I trust Mapquest because it has kept me on the right track and on time. However, this last time I had to change my route because of construction and the Mapquest map was not keeping up with the voice so therefore I couldn’t ahead of time be in the lane I needed to be in to be able to make my next turn. Usually I can glance at the map to prepare to get over because of heavy rush hour traffic and can’t safely make those last minute lane switches to turn on time. On top of that the voice tells me to turn when I’m almost past the street I’m supposed to be turning on. This turned a 50 minute drive into an hour and a half drive and almost made me late for a very important meeting. Fortunately I gave myself extra time hoping to get there earlier. I’m a Verizon iPhone 6s Plus user. Not sure what’s going on with Mapquest. Hopefully you all get it back on track. This most recent update is not working properly.

Mayhem
1 star is overly generous. The party booked 3 months in advance and paid in full was not delivered. Email confirmations received. All details changed day of due to overbooking on day of event. 2 hour party time changed by 2 hours and was limited to 1 hour when too late to change guest invitations. No place to put cake and food as the “party room” and food services booked and paid was also reduced to 2 tables for almost 20 people. We were not alone. Several other families showed up only to find their details were changed without notice too. Talking with the owner was not helpful in correcting the situation and a refund was not given. Not even a discount. Not even an apology. Just sharing though even advance booking and confirmations were given, they were not honored. Booking is the customer agreeing to the party deliverables but not, apparently, the establishment delivering as promised...”contracted”. Fail on child birthday party. :-(
