AOL Updates MapQuest With Traffic Data, Airport Maps, Ballpark Guides And More
July 8, 2014
AOL has just released a major update to the official iOS app of its online Web mapping service, MapQuest. As a result, MapQuest for iOS has gained a number of important improvements.
First up, the update brings additional traffic data to the app's ETA feature, thereby making arrival times more accurate.
It also features airport maps (tap on an airport to access its map), GrubHub integration (tap on a restaurant to order online), and ballpark guides (tap on any MLB stadium to start exploring things to do in and around the stadium).
The new version of MapQuest also features an improved volume slider for adjusting the volume of the app's turn-by-turn directions relative to the audio levels of other apps.
Moreover, it includes search improvements and bug fixes.
Optimized for iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 7.0 or later, MapQuest is available on the App Store for free.
The app offers in-app purchases worth $3.99 for disabling ads and $1.99 for unlocking each MLB.com Team Kit, which includes custom logos, accent colors, and saved routes to ball games.
