DULLES, Va.-MapQuest Mobile subscribers can now send color maps and driving directions from the company’s Web site to their mobile phones.
The location-based services company announced Send to Phone, enabling users to request and access maps and directions directly over their handsets. Mobile publisher Vindigo created the application.
“Send to Phone gives people, especially business travelers who we view as early adopters of this technology, the power and convenience to choose exactly how, where and what kind of information they receive from MapQuest,” said Tommy McGloin, senior vice president and general manager of MapQuest.
The feature is included in the MapQuest Mobile subscription, which is available for $4 a month from most major U.S. carriers.
