Last evening MapQuest launched a new application for iPhone users designed as an alternative to the built-in Google Maps software and called it as a “leap forward in how people interact with maps, directions and local search” . Very interesting!!! ‘Mapquest 4 Mobile’ is currently available for free in App Store.This app represents a leap-forward in how you currently interact with maps, directions, and local search on your iPhone, claims AOL.
Over to AOL - Utilizing MapQuest.com as a base foundation, we’ve started from scratch and completely overhauled the experience for iPhone users. Leveraging the iPhone’s unique Multi-Touch interface, we have built a set of innovative features that make viewing, planning, and navigating your world easier than ever before!
FEATURES:
• Save Maps and Routes on MapQuest.com and retrieve on your iPhone.
• More useful driving directions featuring an oversized display as well as landscape mode orientation.
• New MapQuest® place carousel allows you to easily display locations for hotels, movie theatres, gas stations, and more with a single tap.
• “Find Me” feature that utilizes iPhone GPS to plot your approximate location on a map.
• Follow your route in either map or list mode.
• Negotiate difficult turns or sets of turns with the help of orientation arrows when viewing directions in map mode.
• Free-form search for businesses and places.
• Create your own my position icon that represents YOU on the map using the iPhone’s built in camera or choose from a variety of existing my position icons.
