Another cool, great thing about MapQuest is that if you are using a device that shows your location such as your cell phone. You don't have to have your location turned on in order to get directions from point A to point B.
You can still get those written directions along with a detailed, highlighted map route and do so with your phones location turned off.
Just in case you don't want to be tracked, and you wish to keep your location private and secure from snoops who sell your privacy, and any, and everything, about you, to the highest bidder.

ALL NEW LIGHTNING FAST MAPQUEST

If,
Vin Diesel were flooring the 2000-HP Maximus Challenger muscle car, that is the turbo, nitrous, warp-speed, speed you get with the all-new MapQuest.
We bench tested or clocked various features on the New version of MapQuest and the improvements are Jimmy John's freaky fast.

We used an android smart phone on Verizon 4G Lte and the MapQuest mobile website loaded in approx 3.7 lighting fast seconds.
We got the exact same results on the desk top browser AND with cookies disabled. You're gasping for air because we have cookies disabled, shut off? That's not because we are masked extremist revolutionaries, it's because we don't know how to, nor want to turn cookies on.

For an instance of blazing speed, when you are seeking directions and you click on "where are you starting" or
"Where are you going"they both load/open in approx 1.4 seconds.

Another great New functionality feature is the Map resizing pinch screen. It is very smooth and accurate, it doesn't lag, and is not buggy. Unless of course you are Amish and are riding in a buggy.
Lots of functionality features reviews coming in our updates.
