What's New In This Version:
• We’ve redesigned our Nav Hat (the bar at the top of the screen that shows traffic and your ETA)! It’s cleaner, sleeker, harder, better, faster, stronger.
• Do you ever think to yourself, “Gee, I have so much constructive feedback I’d love to share with MapQuest. If only there were a way I could easily rate the app and submit my feedback once I reach the end of my route.” We thought so! Whether you love our app or you think we can do better we want to know. Look for the prompt at the end of your route - we’d love to hear your thoughts.
• Did your navigation experience go just as you expected? Then we’re doing our job. We’re continuing to make search and data improvements every day so you can explore without hiccups or unpleasant surprises.
• To top it all off, we’ve fixed bugs and crashes from the previous version! Now what’s more exciting than that?
