Do you folow their directions? I recently had to look up directions and found out they were routing me in a long round-about way. It turns out I could go north five blocks and then straight west to get to my destination.
-
I have used Mapquest hundreds of times and it usually gets me where I want to go. It's not perfect of course but then neither is my GPS.
My GPS has guided me to dirt roads in Los Angeles and closed roads. I like to keep both, GPS and Mapquest on hand.
-
In the past I used mapquest ....until it got me lost when the road I was supposed to turn on was nonexistent... now I use google maps along with my phone's gps.
-
Yeah, mapquest, yahoo maps, google maps - gotta start somewhere when you don't know the area. :dontknow:
-
This site seems to get us lost more than it gets us to our destination. We have been traveling in circles before after following this. Maybe it is better now, but it used to be all messed up.
-
Here in central NM they have a lot of mistakes. :dontknow: I submit corrections when I can. I don't usually use any trip planner. My sense of direction is good and I usually have stops en-route. :wave:
-
I do. I also consult with my Thomas Guide as well to compare the routes to see which way is better to travel.
-
I have used mapquest a few times, it works pretty good for me.
-
Mapquest is a good way to locate a destination, most people nowdays use GPS to find there locations.
-
We just used it last weekend and it got us where we were going with just a few minor issues.
-
I use several different ones; map quest I usually have never been lead wrong. I like google maps too!
-
Mapquest usually works fine for me, but sometimes I use Google or yahoo
-
Mapquest works pretty well for me. I use it to get an idea of what an area looks like if I've never been there before.
-
I like Mapquest, a good site for direction's! I haven't found a wrong turn from that site yet! :thumbsup:
-
I've used mapquest several times....very weird....sometimes it works to get you to your destination, and sometimes it does take you the long roundabout way. I only use a gps now and sometimes that isn't right!
-
I have had similar situations when I have used this service and sometimes the gps service where its taken me way out of the way.
-
They always take me the long way, I always end up finding a alternative.
-
I use mapquest, google maps, and my gps.
-
I usually run off maps from two or three different sources and then try to figure out the most direct route. I have even been directed to a non-existent location using some map directions.
-
I have no need for mapquest any more since I have a gps and have had it for a while now. With most people having a gps I am a little surprised that the site is still up and running.
-
I have used it, but I always compare the results to the AAA Trip Router to get a better idea of the directions
-
Mapquest likes to tell people my house is on the opposite side of the street. It has gotten many people confused. I still use it but I don't put my full trust in the results
-
I USE TO USE MAPQUEST BUT NOW I USE GOOGLE MAPS AND YAHOO MAPS :wave:
-
i can't stand mapquest. they don't update enough. i use yahoo maps
-
I much prefer my GPS to anything! If I start out and kinda sorta know partially which way to go, I can turn against the GPS directions and get rerouted. I update my maps on GPS regularly, but I don't know how often mapquest updates...I suspect you got an unupdated route...I sympathise..that would be a pain :BangHead:
