MapQuest for Android: A Lot More Interesting Than I Expected

Google Maps for Android is a very good mapping tool. The recent addition of cached maps to get you through 3G-less areas even reduces the need for on device mapping apps. With this in mind, I was prepared to be underwhelmed by Mapquest’s new free Android app. To my surprise, I found I like Mapquest’s simple and inituitve place type category icon list at the bottom of the display. It provides a quick and simple way to find places in one or more categories.
