Never get lost again or turned around due to having no map.

Mapquest is a program that has revolutionized the way millions of people around the world get around. It used to just be available on the computer, but it has now become available via an app that you can download onto your Android mobile phone or tablet. The best part of this is that it is free, and it is so very easy to use. You will wonder how you ever got along with the convenience of having constantly updated maps right at your fingertips whenever you need them.

Making use of modern GPS technology, the app will know where you are right from the very moment that you open it up. Just type in where you want to go and you will see a map to the location pop up. You can ask the program to give you directions, or have it guide you as you walk or drive. There are multiple options available to you, so choose what you need at that moment to get to your destination. You will know exactly how far away the destination is as well.

If there is more than one way to get where you are going, Mapquest will let you know that as well. It will even let you know about the prevailing traffic patterns at the moment, allowing you to choose an alternate route if that should better suit your purposes. If you just want to inquire about the distance between two different points, you can easily change the origin to something other than where you currently are. This is a great app to use if you are planning a trip at some point in the future. It will surely become one of the more useful apps that you have.
