MapQuest Is Coming to a Cell Phone Near You ...

How about getting MapQuest on your cell phone when you're lost and won't ask anybody for directions?

Seems AOL is planning MapQuest Navigator, a mobile service in partnership with Telmap that will enable drivers and pedestrians to access GPS, turn-by-turn and voice-guided directions on their cellular phones. Launch date -- later this year.

According to the company, in addition to audible directions, the service will offer various features ranging from print-quality color maps (are cell phone printers coming soon?) to directions that factor in time and tolls.

I can't wait for this. It will be a great addition to any cell phone. Nobody likes to ask for directions!

You bet!

This is great service - but Mapquest is not alone. Google provides this, too - and better yet - Google provides this almost worldwide, which Mapquest does not do...
