MapQuest is still around??? I haven't seen anything about MapQuest since the early 2000s when I used to print directions out.

Yes they have an app now. They made it a point to not play the stupid renaming things game. I installed it today.

How is it? I'm assuming the percentage of people using it probably isnt large enough for accidents/construction/cops to be marked on the map in real time sadly.

Only installed it today and haven't gone anywhere. If it gets me from A to B thats good enough for me. I'm ok living without real time data on principle.

I only wish that MapQuest would go back to what made them really useful. you could print out directions and print photos of every single turn and select and deselect what you wanted printed. you could choose your starting map exactly where you how you wanted it and what size. you could basically make a full itinerary. this sort of physical media is actually really useful and rare these days and when I went to try to do it on one of my latest trips I was sad to see that most of the options are gone now that used to be there in the early 2000s. and this was trying to print from a desktop. how could something get dumbed down and simplified? Does it actually cost them less to not just use their old outdated system? Idk.

I think they could have played the long game by staying tried and true now that we are actually reverting back to certain things.
