Mapquest went mobile, years ago (oops!)
Update: As Barbara Ballard pointed out in the comments, mobile access to Mapquest has been around since 1999. It's the Send to Cell feature that's new, which eases the hazzle of mapping out directions before a trip. The browser access is now free too.


Mapquest now offers improved mobile access to its map service.

The new features are:

  • free access to Mapquest via the phone's browser (is that really new?)
  • maps and directions can be set up on a PC and sent to the phone
Quote: 'Mapping, navigation, and location based-services (with or without GPS) are one of the hottest trends in the cell phone business.'
