MapQuest 4 Mobile for iPhone and iPod Touch Overview

 

 

MapQuest® 4 Mobile is the next evolution of maps and directions on the iPhone™.

 

This application represents a leap-forward in how you currently interact with maps, directions, and local search on your iPhone.

 

Utilizing MapQuest.com as a base foundation, we have 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!

 

Plainly said, the application offers a set of unique features that simplify your mobile mapping and directions experience on the Apple® iPhone device.

 

Features:

 

   – Maps and Routes: Save Maps and Routes on MapQuest.com and retrieve on your iPhone.

 

   – Directions: More useful driving directions featuring an oversized display as well as landscape mode orientation.

 

   – Place Carousel: New MapQuest Place Carousel allows you to easily display locations for hotels, movie theaters, gas stations, and more with a single tap.

 

   – Find Me: "Find Me" feature that utilizes iPhone GPS to plot your approximate location on a map.

 

   – Follow Route: Follow your route in either map or list mode.

 

   – NegotiateTurns: Negotiate difficult turns or sets of turns with the help of orientation arrows when viewing directions in map mode.

 

   – Search:Free-form search for businesses and places.

 

   – My Position Icon: 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.

 

   – Walking Directions: Walking directions feature to find the most direct route, utilizing pedestrian walkways.

 

 

Note:  GPS features require an iPhone with GPS features.  Because the iPod Touch's online connection is limited to Wi-Fi,geographical location is determined by triangulation which is less accurate than GPS.
