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.
