MapQuest Blog: “…we are launching a new user experience on MapQuest and updating our brand to reflect our new direction. We thoughtfully redesigned MapQuest.com to be more helpful, intuitive and engaging where the entire experience is within view and contextually relevant throughout…One of the most obvious changes you will notice in the redesign is the one box search. Whether you are looking for a specific address, browsing for a local restaurant, or trying to find the little league park, you can enter as much information as you know and we will help you locate it. Another great feature is the map toolbar which allows you to easily search the map for brands, categories and places in a single click. My Maps, another new feature, allows you to quickly personalize, save and share using a simplified login that leverages existing social services. So you can login using your account information from services like Facebook®, Twitter and Google®. The idea is simple: you can create a collection of your favorite places, journal your vacation or create an itinerary and then share it with family and friends. We also now provide you with the ability to further personalize your trips with notes, anecdotes and comments about each place along the way. In a world where social and local are the new frontier, we are focused on building a place where human experiences and individuality are paramount.”
