I looked to see Joe much further home is and it’s an hour. I was on my way to a destination two hours from me. While going through the app looking for a way, my jaw dropped. I pulled off the road and tried to communicate like you can with Siri but couldn’t. it finally hit me something was very wrong. All the while, since I was so happy Mapquest got me on the right track, I did start wondering why this road, that road, etc. While Mapquest rescued me from Siri’s outrageous blunder, it got the destination wrong too. That's so great to hear! Thanks for the review. And what it did was it took me through non-congested city streets back onto the five freeway via the 110 freeway which eliminated me from having to be stuck in bumper to bumper traffic for quite a distance. I was a little confused but I thought I would go with it to see what happened. And then it had me take the next offramp and I was on city streets. I noticed that the 5 was at a dead stop at the intersection. However at a certain section when I had the option to choose the 101 or the five freeway it had me take the 101. And The route that I chose had me go through the five freeway. Today I was coming home from Santa Fe Springs California to Ventura California. The others only default to the one option and you get what you get. I can then see which route has the least traffic and select that one. I like MapQuest better than the system in my car or Google maps because it gives me the option of 2 to 3 different routes to take. All in all, gonna try to use Mapquest in my car while driving more often than Apple Maps. Google maps does better on a laptop for research if you’re looking into greater details for research of cities, driving distance, businesses in the area or trying to google drive in their map system to see what an area looks like virtually to plan your move or road trip in general. Plus Apple Maps is a pain because it automatically switches routes on you as you drive further into your 1st route that you picked and it’s stressful! When I’m driving I know that I picked route #1 option and refused route 2 or 3 for reasons but Apple Maps will automatically switch the route even when you are trying to exit off or onto a freeway or major intersection which is dangerous!!! It never used to be like that. Google maps is difficult to do any of those finger gestures which is a pain when you are driving in the moment. I can use my fingers to pinch and move the map around in circles, side ways etc like Apple Maps that’s in my iPhone. Please Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
