Okay, so I've been playing around with MapQuest, and I'm actually impressed. The map design itself is really well done; the color palette is easy on the eyes, and the information architecture makes sense β no hunting around for what you need. The real-time traffic updates are super helpful, especially during Vancouver rush hour, and the rerouting is pretty seamless. I also appreciate that they've included alternate routes right there on the map; it's a nice touch. And the little micro-interactions, like the way the route highlights as you drive, are *chef's kiss*. Okay, it's not *perfect*, but for a free app, it's surprisingly polished. Plus, I love that they show gas prices, which is a major win. Itβs not trying to be overly minimalist, which I appreciate β sometimes you need all the info at a glance. I also noticed they've made an effort with accessibility, which is always a huge plus in my book. Overall, it's a solid, design-conscious choice for navigation.
