MapQuest GPS Navigation & Maps for Positive User Reviews
✓ 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!!.Version: 5.14.1
✓ Better OptionI 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!.Version: 5.18.3
✓ 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..Version: 5.18.6
✓ A MUST Own AppI’ve been using this app when planning my trips for a long time. I especially like that it saves all the street names, places and other location information so you don’t have to input them every time you use the app. Another very useful feature is the pin drop. Just pinch the map open for a closer view, tap on the location and a black circle appears. It records the name and location of the place so you don’t even need to type in. Deleting locations is easy too, swipe left and tap on the delete box. If you travel to the next town or across country this app is a must own! It also has a very low learning curve, meaning it’s easier to learn than folding a paper map. 5 Stars!.Version: 6.5.0
✓ MapQuestI love to use it. It’s accurate in turning road lane. Excellent and very useful in my trip planning destinations. I would like to tell it to my friends..Version: 6.0.25
✓ Easy to useWe 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!!.Version: 5.18.4
✓ ExcellentWay better than the ‘other’ app. Ready to use, I like being able to read the driving ‘Steps’. Tx!.Version: 5.18.4
✓ 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! ❤️.Version: 5.18.6
✓ SeniorLove the speed and accuracy👍😘.Version: 6.3.0
✓ Finally come of ageWow 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.Version: 5.18.6
✓ 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..Version: 6.4.0
✓ Great except...,It’s a great app but only if you are willing to use one of the 2 routes it picks. There is no way to adjust your route so I will probably pick a different app next time..Version: 5.18.4
✓ 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..Version: 5.15.1
✓ Great Navigation appI 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:).Version: 5.14.1
✓ Google alternative. Highly dependable and accurate app!Great app. Gets me to where I want to go! Very accurate and it’s just really nice to have a really good alternative to google..Version: 5.21.0
✓ Better than Google Maps in LA in a rush hour testTraveling from Venice to Downtown LA at around 5 pm for a 6:30 dinner reservation, I pulled up the GM app and it said 1 hr 34 minutes. For some reason, I decided to try MQ, which gave me 3 routes to select from, the quickest being 55 minutes. Well, I put MQ on silent and GM thru the Apple Car Play and set off. As I followed MQ, the time remaining on GM to my utter amazement kept decreasing. It’s as if GM was immediately able to see what MQ was doing and agreed with its route. My question: why didn’t GM see this route at all. My only error on the whole trip was to follow GM once the two apps were similar in time. Leaving the MQ app at that juncture resulted in losing at least 5 minutes. The end result: MQ took 65 minutes - 5 being my fault. Disgusted at GM, I shut it off when I resumed following MQ. Most salient feature: finding LA streets that were practically empty at rush hour. I could not believe it; yet I experienced it. Thanks MQ. Now my go to app for an extended trial in the field. spgleit.Version: 5.18.4
✓ Very accurate informationI 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!.Version: 6.3.0
✓ 3 Apps...I use Mapquest the mostAlthough 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!.Version: 5.19.2
✓ Simple and Mighty HepfulWhat 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!.Version: 6.0.25

✓ StreetGoogle earth and Google maps needs updating as maps shows no homes or streets built yet Where my sister bought home 4 years ago This one has my sister new home on map fir me to find Please add photos of streets and homes too to this Map-quest.Version: 6.3.0
✓ Great AppLove this app. So easy to use. Highly recommend.Version: 6.1.2
✓ Excellent appPerfect for road travel!.Version: 5.18.4
✓ GoodI only use MapQuest when traveling. One of the features I like is when you’re on a major highway with several lanes it is very explicit as to what lane you need to be in to make your next turn. For instance if there are two lanes going off to the left it tells you to be in the right lane of the two left lanes. That is very helpful. Prepares you for your next turn. I prefer the list mode when traveling because I like to see the entire route before travelling. After taking an exit I like to see what the next direction is so I know what lane I need to be in. I also like that it reroutes quickly if you decide to take a different road..Version: 5.18.2
✓ Much better mapping systemI 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!”👍.Version: 5.18.2
✓ Seems like a good alternative to other big Tech appsWorks alright but when searching for gas it didn’t show some gas stations and showed gas stations that no longer exist. Also listed fuel distribution plants as gas stations. Otherwise works just great! Kinda sick of using google products..Version: 5.22.2
✓ Mapquest performanceExcellent! I have used it for travelling in our RV for several years and it is very user friendly..Version: 5.19.2
✓ Best navigation appGot 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..Version: 6.0.25
✓ MR.Great app. I use it a lot. And it gives great directions and details ..Version: 5.18.6
✓ Better than the other Maps apps I've usedThis app is genuinely better than Apple Maps and google maps for me. Google maps is too dang glitchy and doesn't update on the correct time so I've missed so many exits and turns, and Apple Maps will just randomly switch my routes I'm taking mid-trip, so suddenly my trip will be 20 mins longer than it was before bc it switched me to the back roads instead of the highway. Mapquest is the first navigation app I've used that hasn't done any of these, so for me personally, it's way better than the others. 10/10 would highly recommend.Version: 6.5.0
✓ AwesomeI 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..Version: 5.18.6
✓ By Far the best MapI’ve been using Mapquest for many years it’s my only go to when I need directions anywhere.. I find it to be accurate and it hasn’t gotten me lost yet!! I travel the greater SF Bay Area but have also used traveling to Eugene OR and loved how it took me around a freeway traffic jam by rerouting me ..at first I couldn’t figure out why mapquest suggested taking the next exit when I was yet to be in Oregon but once I saw the freeway had stopped and I avoided that stop and go I was pleasantly surprised and this made me like this app even more!! Google maps does not compare!.Version: 5.22.4
✓ I like Mapquest a lotMapquest 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!.Version: 6.4.0
✓ Great App - 4.5 to 5 Stars!!!I must say that most of the time Mapquest will be able to find a location when the gps in my car cannot. It also usually finds the shortest route. Yet, sometimes there are areas that do not show up with a clear address of a location and will only give you an AREA of where you are going. This can be due to the location being a new development or an area where there are new developments nearby. I wish I could give a half star for that one. However, overall, I usually double check with my Mapquest app to see if I can find a quicker route. I love the fact that it gives you 3 route options! Great app!.Version: 5.17.2
✓ KilometresHow do I change map quest from miles to kms?.Version: 5.18.6
✓ MV lost in West VirginiaMy car GPS froze in West Virginia on my way home from Virginia Beach, Virginia. I was essentially lost in the hills of West Virginia. My car wifi was not working. I was using my cellular signal. I tried Google maps first. The reception faded in and out. It had me going in circles for about half an hour. Frustrated, I decided to give MapQuest a try. Amazingly, it quickly zeroed in on my home address and calculated the route from my current location. Panic instantly subsided. I followed Mapquest’s directions and arrived home without incident. The next time I need reliable map service, Mapquest will be my first choice. Thank you!.Version: 6.0.25
✓ 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..Version: 5.18.1
✓ Long time userI’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!.Version: 5.15.2
✓ GreatExcellent app. Easy to use..Version: 6.3.0
✓ Much better than any other driving appsI 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!.Version: 5.18.6
✓ Suwerteako88I loved it. Friendly user app for someone like me who is not good in finding direction this app was very helpful to me. Compares to other app I have used this would take you to your destination you want to go safe without being lost. I give it a 5 star..Version: 5.18.6
✓ Great and safe to use.Easy to use when you come around to get used to it. Love the fact it names the streets as you go along. It helps you keep your eyes on the road. Safer to use than others that need for us to keep on staring at the map. Tells us how many feet also .In fact, great app!! Finds your car in a glimpse!!!.Version: 5.18.6
✓ MapQuestBest app ever! Keep up the good work people..Version: 5.22.4
✓ Vancouver IslandThank you so much for the assistance. Couldn’t have done it without you. Accurate with instructions to a “T”..Version: 5.22.4
✓ MapQuest is better than google mapsI 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..Version: 5.21.0
✓ 😄 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..Version: 5.18.6
✓ Much smarter than Google Maps!I love that I can select the layers I want to see along the road like gas stations and coffee shops, I can even add extra ones like beaches and camping!.Version: 5.18.6
✓ Best GPS app availableI 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..Version: 5.22.4
✓ NEEDS TWEAKINGI 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.Version: 5.21.0
✓ A must have for travellersGreat app if you travel a lot. I like that it gives multiple options for routes and lets you input several stops. Use it all the time. Two big thumbs up..Version: 5.18.6
✓ Near PerfectionI 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 🚗!.Version: 5.15.3
