MapQuest 4 Mobile iPhone adds voice guidance, remains free

The MapQuest 4 Mobile is known as one of the best Google Maps alternatives but now it just got a whole lot better. With the MapQuest 4 Mobile iPhone you'll not only be able to plan your route before you take off but also to get to where you're headed much easier and faster thanks to the added voice guidance.

And the app is still free. However, keep in mind that for the map data to be loaded constant access to the Internet is needed so you'd better have a data plan or you'll end up with some beefy bills.

The latest version of the MapQuest 4 Mobile for iPhone is waiting for you in the App Store.
