The Washington Times (Free subscription) | 28/08/2008
Howard and Georgetown are only two miles apart as MapQuest flies, but the schools might as well be located on different continents as far as football is concerned.

MapQuest Gets a Facelift
901am (Free subscription) | 26/08/2008
A simplified homepage, designed to get users to the information they seek quicker, has been launched by MapQuest this morning. Honestly, I’m such a devoted Google Maps user, that I don’t even remember what MQ used to look like. The new landing page automatically populates a map with your location (according to IP address). Enter an address [...]

Screenwerk (Free subscription) | 26/08/2008

All Points Blog (Free subscription) | 26/08/2008
Continuing on its "too little, too late" strategy, MapQuest has tinkered with its home page. The team has update the maps which now appear on the front page!

Download Squad (Free subscription) | 26/08/2008
Filed under: Internet , Web services , AOL , Beta , web 2.0 Once upon a time, it looked like MapQuest was on the same path that TiVo, Kleenex, and Xerox had taken before it. If you were looking up directions using any web site, there was a good chance you said you were "mapquesting it." But now the pioneer in online directions faces stiff competition from Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, and others. But...

MapQuest inches toward modernity
Webware.com (Free subscription) | 26/08/2008
In talking to Mark Law, the new VP of product development for AOL's MapQuest , I was surprised to learn how powerful the service still is. To my mind the formerly leading mapping system is a trailing contender against Google , Yahoo , Microsoft , and Ask.com , but apparently MapQuest is still in the game as a leading Web site, with 48 million monthly visitors to the site, not to mention the users...

GigaOM (Free subscription) | 26/08/2008
MapQuest isn’t the shiniest online mapping service. It isn’t the most accurate or the coolest. It is so old school … well you get the drift.
