Howdy Hey GPS and map Fans.
Its been Years since we started our MapQuest Original website..
We started it with the hopes of gaining wide spread viewership.
But the google algorithm's had a different objective.
Well we're not blaming Google , were blaming the folks at MapQuest.
You see when the internet was young there was only one place to obtain directions or maps and that
was at MapQuest.
There were no
Google Maps
No Waze
No Apple Maps
No GPS Apps
The only place to go was good ole reliable MapQuest.
Then the folks at MapQuest decided to make some changes, they were not good changes.
MapQuest at one time was the number one go to website for directions and or Maps.
After their format change things kinda went downhill. Google Maps and various GPS apps
trounced MapQuest. MapQuest was no longer user friendly, when you went to their website you had to
relearn how to use it, it was no longer user friendly, it was all about adds and ad revenue.
Just like Sears and Kmart, MapQuest was once the KING.
The sad part about MapQuest's demise is that we will never know the truth as to why they chose their
destiny of suicide/death.
We have spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours on our Mapquest Original website, but its
time has come, Elvis has left the building.
And unfortunately gone, this will be our last Mapquest Original post.... there's no point in whipping a
dead horse................................
If we had any actual fans we would thank YOU....
In parting here is a picture of me:
