Re: MapQuest question.

Oh good, then I'm glad it's not just me. Just to test something I loaded a route between Fort Wayne International Airport and Seattle Airport and it showed that same low distance and time. I thought to myself that it was thinking transporter time. Even then it would be too long. However, definitely not driving or walking.

My only complaints with MapQuest are:
* The distance always says 10.9 miles.
* The time it'll take is always set to 13 minutes.
* Occasionally, the map will be a bit dated and give me directions to a
place that has since moved. I'm not sure about the paid apps, but I've
seen this with other free apps as well.

I find the first two points to be just a nuisance. I'm also pulling
those from memory.

Yes, that is one of the coolest side benefits with MapQuest.
Now, if you have it set to a Walking route and put in a destination that is
a long way off, it will ask you if you want driving directions.  Very smart.

I've also just had MapQuest ask me if I wanted walking directions instead of
driving directions when it noticed how close my destination was.

When you have set a destination, double tap on the menu button, double
tap on directions, then double tap on Walking and finally, double tap
on get directions and you will be in a place where you can double tap
on Start Navigation.
there will also be a list button to show the directions in a list so
you can review them with VoiceOver.

I now mostly recommend Mapquest for my clients.

especially since where I live, Navigon is very confused.

HTH,
Richard

Richard:



I managed to snag the app from the US app store.  My interest in the
app is to see how it stacks against the various payed apps out there
of which I have most of them.  I do this in the interest of my clients.



So my question is, what steps are involved in obtaining a walking rout
with turn-by-turn announcements?



Cheers.

Hi Jim,



So, did you find Mapquest for Canada yet?  I just did a Google search
and the results I got seem to indicate it working in Canada.

I have not done a podcast, but if you have specific questions, I'd be
glad to help.

You can write me directly at:

[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>



With the update yesterday, you can now save favorites, do multiple
stops in one route and it can find people in your contacts...



Later,

Richard

Thanks much.  I guess it's not available in the canadian app store.



Does anyone know whether or not MapQuest will work in Canada if I
could download the app?



Thanks all over the place gang.

I just searched for it on my computer in iTunes and found this:

  MapQuest
Updated  Jul 30, 2012
  FREE



So, I don't think they have removed it.

Hi Folks:



Have they taken MapQuest out of the Apple app store?



Thanks gang.
