Prepare To Be Blown Away By MapQuest's New App
This is what a typical map screen would look like when you open the app up.
Using the layers feature, you can search by an extensive list of categories (and customize your own—like if you wanted to see all the nearby Starbucks, for instance).
The menu bar is sleek, simple, and intuitive.
When planning your route, you have more options than you do on Google Maps. It's much more like a traditional GPS.
The app indicates light traffic with yellow and heavy traffic with red. Your ETA is always being adjusted and you can see where on your route you're likely to hit traffic.
The app will suggest re-routes if the traffic is very bad. It will tell you how much time the alternate route would save, so you can decide if you want to take it or not.
