Function

MapQuest helps Internet users find directions to businesses or other addresses. Directions and maps can be printed out from the website. You can also check on local gas prices in your area, find local businesses or tourist attractions or even find listings in the Yellow Pages.

Features

Aside from maps, MapQuest also offers other useful features. Some of the features include a gas-price checker, Yellow Pages and local. "Local," allows you to see restaurants, shopping places, or other great tourist attractions in your surrounding community. It also lets you search for available jobs or events that are happening, too. Use the "My MapQuest" feature to save your location if you would like to come back to it later, or save information that you found useful. For those who have OnStar, MapQuest has a feature that lets you send directions to your car with a "navigation" feature. If you don't like the route that MapQuest provides, it also allows you to customize it to your liking. When checking on your maps, you can also see current information about real-time traffic in about 100 metro areas. iPhone users can also access MapQuest via their cell phones.

How to Get Driving Directions

Finding directions on MapQuest is simple. Type in the "starting address" in the directions area, and then type in your "ending location." MapQuest will then process driving directions that you can follow and offers a map for your personal use, too. Driving directions can easily be printed so that you can bring them along when you are en route.
