User Reviews for MapQuest GPS Navigation & Maps
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!
Good and bad
The good part was that while traveling there were several accidents that google maps told us would cause significant delays, but couldn’t/didn’t give us any alternative routes. Neither did Apple maps. Mapquest gave us the alternative and even alternatives to that route when it started getting backed up. Neither G nor A gave additional alternatives even once knowing we were on a different road. The bad part is that the available map size was notably smaller than the others, jumped around more, took longer to get the info, and often the names of roads on the map were too small to read easily, and when the map was expanded the street name often disappeared rather than getting larger and more readable. I find it easier to follow a map, especially if I’m navigating for another driver, rather than following verbal directions that assume you can estimate distances at 50-60 mph. All 3 of the map apps seem to want to jump to that too easily. I don’t know which did it the most, but I did find that with MQ it was difficult to get back to the map without deleting and then putting the destination back in and then at times it wouldn’t/couldn’t connect easily despite having service.
Wrong name and can not get it fixed
I live in a small town. There is one Street with the right direction on and our Street with the wrong direction on it. When you travel north on a road, and it is call North Street ( any name will do.) And when you get to the next town , you will be on the south side of town but our Street is call north , than when you continue to drive north you come to the north side of town but it is call south. I have reported this problem but I was told it can take six months to fix the problem. I am so glad that my mail and packages still gets delivered to my house , because I still use South on my address. But I have had some business, say that I gave them the wrong address. I have to say where is the sun , what time is it, so which way is north, also do you have a compass on your phone. But do you know that people think map quest can not be wrong. So it takes time to get the business to think about it. But we have had to get things delivered a couple of days later because of this. And if people try to find our house at night, I have to give them land marks to look for. Then they can see that this places are also in the wrong place on map quest. This has been these way for years now.
I like Mapquest a lot
Mapquest 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!
Good and awful
While Mapquest rescued me from Siri’s outrageous blunder, it got the destination wrong too. All the while, since I was so happy Mapquest got me on the right track, I did start wondering why this road, that road, etc. it finally hit me something was very wrong. I manually entered my destination in WV. I pulled off the road and tried to communicate like you can with Siri but couldn’t. While going through the app looking for a way, my jaw dropped. I was on my way to a destination two hours from me. I looked to see Joe much further home is and it’s an hour. This nightmare started with Siri at 1:00 yesterday. I never made it to my dr until 6pm well after everyone went home because she gave me the scenic route. Then coming home I didn’t recognize so many places but she does take different routes a lot. Before I knew it, I’d been driving home for four hours in a two hour trip. I asked Siri how much longer to get home. One and a half hour. Well as I said, sort of the same thing happened with Mapquest and before I realized it, I found I had an extra hour before I would finally get home. 1pm yesterday and I’m writing this review on the spot I figured Mapquest out. (One hour from home) it is now 5:45 am. I haven’t been this angry in ages.
Mapquest is sending error msgs ‘try again’
I gave the app a great review a year or so ago, which is below. But what’s the deal with Mapquest, I put in an address that I’ve used before and it sends me an ‘error’ message and says to try again. I tried different addresses and it gives me this error every time?? It’s very aggravating it does nothing but spin as if it’s loading info but will only drain the life out of your phone instead. Please tell me you’re addressing this issue, I didn’t realize how much I relied on Mapquest until I couldn’t get it to load directions. I started using Mapquest over 5 years ago after Google maps took us to a vacant pasture for our daughters out of state track meet. I downloaded Mapquest immediately to put us in the right place. Our daughter ran collegiate level with us following her across many states, from Illinois to Florida. Mapquest has never led my husband and I astray. I won’t use any other mapping service. I love that it gives you alternative routes when possible. Thank you, Mapquest!
Long time user
I’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!
Too late for turns
I’m an avid Mapquest user because I’m always having to go to different meeting sites for work and rely on this app because I’m always in an unfamiliar area. I trust Mapquest because it has kept me on the right track and on time. However, this last time I had to change my route because of construction and the Mapquest map was not keeping up with the voice so therefore I couldn’t ahead of time be in the lane I needed to be in to be able to make my next turn. Usually I can glance at the map to prepare to get over because of heavy rush hour traffic and can’t safely make those last minute lane switches to turn on time. On top of that the voice tells me to turn when I’m almost past the street I’m supposed to be turning on. This turned a 50 minute drive into an hour and a half drive and almost made me late for a very important meeting. Fortunately I gave myself extra time hoping to get there earlier. I’m a Verizon iPhone 6s Plus user. Not sure what’s going on with Mapquest. Hopefully you all get it back on track. This most recent update is not working properly.
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.
I will stick to google
Years ago, my friend recommended mapquest since I hated google. I never really paid attention but I always had to search for the exact name or address in order for the app to show me the address or else I would get some random results in other states. No issue. I kept doing it. I recently went back to using google maps again, and I alternate between them. Mapquest mainly for residential addresses. I started getting used to google and how easy is for me to find the location even with variation of name. I recently submitted a help request ticket with mapquest. Someone by the name of Francisco scolded me on how I should enter the name correctly. That was the whole point of my ticket, having to enter It exactly as it is in order for the app to find it. What if you have an elderly or someone with any type of disability that it’s unable to write or hear the EXACT ADDRESS OF NAME OF BUSINESS? I rather stick with google maps after this. People make mistakes or can’t write done the names exactly as they are. I was expecting the app to be more like google maps but I guess not.
