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.

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 Street names have been replaced by turn right in 100 feet.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.

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!
