MapQuest Launches iPhone App

MapQuest released its first iPhone app, MapQuest 4 Mobile and after testing it for a while, ReadWriteWeb believes it's a worthy challenger for the iPhone's built-in mapping application, which is based on Google Maps.

Just like the MapQuest web site, the iPhone app focuses on finding local businesses and directions. One of the nicest features of the app is that you can save your maps and routes on the MapQuest.com web site and then retrieve them on your phone. Finding local businesses is also very easy thanks to a carousel with different types of businesses that sits at the bottom of the map. You can just click on the gas station icon, for example, and the map will highlight all the local service stations in the area.
