Mapquest’s beta upgrade
Ever since Google Maps came out, Mapquest has been sort of ditched in the dirt because of Google’s cool factor. Still, Mapquest was one of the first well known places that allowed you to enter in an origin and a destination only to spit out a travel route, along with estimated time to get there.
Now they’re launching a beta version that has been upgraded a bit. While it still doesn’t offer everything that Google Maps does, the new version allows you to input multiple stops (excellent if you need to go to several locations in an unfamiliar city), has new expanding sidebars, and gives you options to use saved or recent searches.
Which do you use for travel purposes, Mapquest or Google? I confess, I am a Google JUNKIE and just about every online tool I use these days is one of theirs, but I have used Mapquest in the past as well.
