If you register a fresh account with the new My MapQuest service, or sign in with AOL or OpenID user information, you can save specific maps and routes for quick access on your desktop or mobile device.
Save Time and Save More Data
If you’re familiar with the standard MapQuest interface, you’ll have no trouble browsing the personal version. To gain entry, click the corresponding link in the top right corner of the window. Once you're set up, you'll find priority is given to essentials like driving directions and location points, while a generous supply of real estate is reserved for the graphical map directly below all text-based details. It’s not as visually simplistic as Google Maps, of course, but the actions provided more than make up for any "complications."
A Learning Curve With Benefits
That's pretty much all there is to it. Everything appears to function as advertised. The only hurdles you're likely to come across are navigational. And really, no Google competitor today can claim equal points for elegance of design.
All said, touring the place may take a few minutes. Otherwise, it's quite impressive. Note: MapQuest's iPhone-compatible website shows no support for My MapQuest at present.
