mapquest


Mapquest is a new, innovative way of getting driving directions, to get from one place to another without the guess work. The maps and routes shown are presented and done in quality photographs, making it very easy to read and navigate. Routes can be shown with a selection of points showing time and travel distance, and can also include landmarks and other places of interest. It gives exit numbers for directions to turn on each of its maps.
In the classroom, the Mapquest is a great tool for students to look up a specific place or specific area, to take a virtual trip or literal trip, in or outside of the classroom setting. Students can also utilize Mapquest through Google Earth and Sketch up, which is software for the classroom where students can make a 3D picture of a location, and put it on mapquest. Mapquest also offers other interactive tools that enables them to add mates, allows viewing of past-viewed maps, and other handy tools and features that students can use for various resources. Mapquest's software makes an educated guess at the position of a stated address based mostly on where it could be found inside that segment. Some of the better sites students (or teachers) might want to look up would be @ Google mapquest, @ Mapquest4Mobile- for Blackberry devices, Yahoo.com Mapquest, and Mapquest.com. The best way to know which of these is better for your needs, one must take the time through thorough planning, to try each and compare.
