Admittedly, I can be ‘directionally challenged’ at times and have been happily rescued by services like MapQuest. Internet maps have been a popular service for on-line users but MapQuest goes the extra mile by implementing a mobile map service that can be used on cell/mobile phones and offers the whole enchilada: access to GPS, turn-by-turn, voice-guided directions, dynamic and full-color maps.
Other cool features to note, on top of the huge database of locations, is that you can direct dial to make reservations as well as text anyone directions to a specific place. Sounds simple…let’s just hope that ‘navigating’ through the MapQuest Navigator service doesn’t require it’s own navigating service...now try saying that five times as fast as you can.
MapQuest Navigator includes: - Audible turn-by-turn directions, using GPS, right on your phone - Allows users to enjoy the navigation experience while making and receiving phone calls - Millions of points of interest to explore with the same quality and relevance offered on MapQuest.com - Optimized routing calculation to find the fastest or shortest route, or to avoid toll roads, highways or other specific elements - Full pedestrian navigation that ignores vehicle turning and one-way driving restrictions - Print-quality dynamic color maps with zoom-in/out, pan and point on map functionality - Intuitive location search for address, intersection or zip code, including unique "points of interest" search capabilities - Automatic re-routing without the need to contact the serverand - Support for BREW, Java, BlackBerry, Windows mobile and Symbian
MapQuest expects the MapQuest Navigator service will be available through major U.S. wireless carriers later this year.
