MapQuest: Get Directions

MapQuest is an application that provides users with up-to-date satellite imagery and maps, turn-by-turn voice navigation for walking and driving directions, and real-time traffic updates to help you find the fastest ways to your destination. It also offers optimized routing to help save you time, gas and money, as well as a speedometer so you can compare your current speed to the speed limit along your route. You can also store locations, like your home and work addresses, as favorites for quick-and-easy maps and directions. Additionally, you can choose alternate route choices and set your route to avoid highways and toll roads, as well as create routes starting from somewhere other than your current location.

The application also allows you to search and explore nearby points of interests like restaurants, bars, gas stations and hotels, with its layers bar. You can also find great hotel deals and book them through MapQuest, as well as feed your inner foodie and discover new places to eat by browsing menus, making reservations and ordering food through OpenTable and GrubHub points of interest. You can also save money by comparing prices of nearby gas stations, view local weather, and access on-demand roadside assistance for help if your car breaks down. Lastly, you can get directions on-the-go with the corresponding Android Watch app.

Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
