I used their mapping and geocoding APIs for years, back when I was negotiating contracts. They’re good (at least in N. America) and 1/5th the price of google.
Kind of makes me want to go back to printing 6 page instructions to destinations that I hold in my right hand and read whilst driving with my left hand.
I kind of did this with sticky notes on the dash during my last road trip. I was travelling through an area I knew would have poor reception at the time, so I made a bullet point list of the main road changes.
It was kind of nice not having to check a screen for directions.
TIL MapQuest is still around.
They have an app
