Ratings and reviews

Map quest: the app where you can find Gulf of mexico and Lake Ontario and get to be a wizard icon as you travel. i find it very easy to use. Just a few settings, and I have exactly the maps that I want. It's easy to set favorites. The only thing I wish that could be better is a better choice of voices and make them a bit more realistic and easily heard. The very low tone voices cannot be heard if you're playing a radio or if there's any loud traffic sounds. Improve the voice choices.

Android auto support would be a big plus. I had trouble getting it to be audible for the first day but after that it works fine. I was worried the voice spoke too slow for some of the quick turn / merge areas, but I haven't had any issues with that yet. It pronounces a few street names funny the way Google Maps used to. I like it better sounding funny though so don't fix those.

Not a good experience still. Fonts are smaller, not user friendly like it was. Too many steps and now I have helped a few elderly people with the app and when they choose no highway, the app still keeps trying to send them down the highway. This needs to be fixed. There is no sense in having the option if the app is going to make the choice for you. There is so much road rage and dangerous speeds so some elderly people have decided to not drive on a highway so stop sending them down a highway.

What’s new

Saved places got easier. New edit buttons let you update or delete Home, Work, and any other saved place in a few taps.
Also new:
• Map labels now scale with your device's text size setting, so the map is easier to read for everyone.
• The "End" button now sits right at the top during navigation, so it's always there when you need it.
We're shipping as fast as we can and reading every piece of feedback you send. Keep it coming!! The next update is already in the works and landing very soon.
