MapQuest out here trying to meme their way back into relevance.
Some people are dumping Google/Apple maps over it, may as well strike while the iron’s hot.
Their maps are much worse than OSM from what I see. It even has a road near my town where on OSM there's a foot path, that you probably couldn't get up even on a bicycle.
I don't understand how are they still in business, lol.
If OSM is bad you can change it, it’s just a tool that apparantly people haven’t been using close to you
Sorry, my comment is probably poorly written, as I still sometimes struggle with English. OSM is much more accurate in my area than MapQuest. That's what I wanted to say 🙂
I remember printing out MapQuest instructions on paper before trips. The first time I tried it and it just spit out exact directions it seemed almost magical.
I sold my '08 forrester in 2020, and when I was cleaning it out, I found a MapQuest printout from my parents house to my girlfriend's university.
