If you use Android Auto, you can try out the beta mapping service today. Launched in 1996, MapQuest recently introduced Android Auto support, making it an alternative to Google and Apple Maps with the added distinction of calling a certain body of water in North America Lake Ontario, despite pressure from President Donald Trump. Usage grew to 50 times its normal rate, and the apps it offers generated over 1.5 million downloads.
How to install: Open Google Play, find Map Quest, download and install the app, or update it. Scroll down, join the beta program and update. Connect your smartphone to your car using Bluetooth or a compatible USB cable. The Map Quest icon should appear on your dashboard. Initial user feedback suggests the application remains a little rough around the edges, with complaints of app crashes and delayed response times. Features include turn-by-turn navigation, real-time traffic updates, and route optimization.
