The MapQuest GPS app has been updated with membership-free roadside help, a more interactive ETA progress bar, important ground transportation info, and more.

MapQuest is your go-to app for live maps, GPS, voice navigation and live traffic updates. Whether you’re running a quick errand across town or taking a road trip across the country, MapQuest has the trusted directions and traffic info you need for stress-free navigation. Our app can route you around accidents, help with multi-stop directions and even has alternate routing capabilities, robust bookmarking options, and handy sharing features. MapQuest is here to help get you where you need to go, wherever life takes you.

Features:
● NEW! Our membership-free roadside assistance can be activated directly from the menu and help you in the event of lockout, flat tires, fuel delivery, towing, and more.
● Get voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation walking or driving directions.
● Have peace of mind knowing we’re using the latest traffic data. Live traffic updates and automatic re-routing will help you get there on time.
● Choose from up to three different driving routes (when available) to get you to your destination most efficiently. We’ll take traffic, road closures, and more into account so you can choose the most optimal route.
● Impress your boss, family, and friends with an on-time arrival with our ETA (estimated time of arrival) and location sharing features.
● Bookmark your home and work addresses so you can find your way to either at the push of a button.
● Quickly search for nearby points of interest in your favorite categories like coffee, restaurants, gas, and more with our industry-first layers bar!
● Advanced search uses your contacts, recent searches, top categories, and nearby points of interest to help you find your destination faster.
● Save a few bucks when you click on nearby gas stations and view and compare their current gas prices.
● Browse menus and order food through our GrubHub partnership.
● Find a place to rest your head. Explore the area and book a nearby hotel directly from the app!
● Read Yelp reviews, pricing, and more on the go.


What's New In This Version:
● NEW! MapQuest is proud to be the first navigation app to offer membership-free roadside help. Simply tap "Roadside Assistance" in the menu and get on demand, 24/7 support for common roadside headaches such as lock outs, jump starts, tow services, and more. Convenience and affordability without a membership- refreshing!
● Be the master of your route with our (now, more interactive) ETA progress bar! Tap to advance or watch it automatically scroll through information like minutes and distance remaining, destination information, and time of arrival.
● Travel like a local! In addition to delays, descriptions, and maps for US airports, you can now see important ground transportation info such as parking, shuttles, taxis, rental cars, and more.

You can download MapQuest from the App Store for free.
