> Accuracy: By combining years of experience and robust mapping datasets, MapQuest provides accurate mapping, geocoding, routing and traffic to power enterprise solutions.
> Scalability: The MapQuest Platform mapping and directions services nearly 40 million users per month. By combining 15 years of experience, we can offer a mapping platform with tremendous scale.
> Easy To Use: The Web Services are easy to use, self-described, fully documented, and available at http://mapquestapi.com. Sample code can be found at http://developer.mapquest.com. Also, in some cases, multiple functions are combined into one call – which means less code to get the job done. For example, the static map web service eliminates the need to create multiple calls to geocode an address and display that address on the map.
> Customer Support: MapQuest provides exceptional US based technical support through phone and email during business hours and 24/7/365 Emergency Support. In addition to our Support Team, you will have access to an Account Manager who is dedicated to supporting your account.
> Performance: MapQuest maintains 99.9% availability measured quarterly.
> Mobile: MapQuest provides various options for building both web based and native mobile applications, whether with JavaScript, Mobile Flex API, iOS or native Android APIs. The iOS and Android APIs were designed as a "drop in" replacement for the native APIs. We used the same object model as the native APIs, while of course extending it to add great features such as integrated driving directions plus the ability to use data or our licensed datasets.
> Language Independence: Web services are development language independent, meaning that you can utilize them with any development environment. Any language that can make, receive, and parse http calls can use the MapQuest Web Services. Additionally, while MapQuest offers multiple SDKs you are not tied to these languages. You can use web services only or implement a hybrid solution using, for example, web services combined with our iOS or Android API.
> Maps: Enterprise Edition Maps API along with the Geocoding service enable our customers to integrate tiled, aerial, static, and hybrid maps into their websites and applications. Points of interest icons may include a roll over information bubble to include location details (address, phone number, photos, hours, call to action, etc.). Customers also have the ability to overlay KML files and display GeoRSS feeds on the map.
> Geocoding: Geocoding is underneath most mapping applications and is often the cause of inaccurate maps or directions. MapQuest has robust geocoding, with a 5-character result code that allows customers to verify the accuracy of locations in greater detail than a simple yes/no match. We provide the ability to batch up to 100 geocodes in one call or on the fly geocodes with no technical rate limits for Enterprise clients. Please see geocoding detailed spreadsheet attached. Extended geocoding use rights can be negotiated which allow you to store geocodes and usage outside of MapQuest service.
> Search: MapQuest Search provides the ability to search locations based on criteria and in proximity to an address based on radius, by driving distance, by drive time, along a route (corridor searches) or within a polygon. MapQuest allows customers to move the latitude/longitude for any location to ensure accuracy of the data. Single line search is coming in Q2-Q3 as is spatial search and storage of point, poly, line and APIs to manage searches.
> Data Visualization: Coming early Q2, MapQuest will provide high performance viewing of dense data using tile layers, visualization options (thematic, heat, graduated circles), and mqVibe neighborhoods.
> Driving Directions: MapQuest patented routing algorithms provide both accurate and simple driving directions. Driving Directions API provides point to point, multiple stop, optimized, transit and pedestrian as well as alternative directions with avoid features such as avoid toll road, avoid highways, etc. Driving Directions also includes the ability to drag a route if a user wants to set their own stops, such as picking up a friend. In addition, directions include multiple language narratives including Spanish.
> Global Coverage: Currently, MapQuest coverage is via commercial data in the US and Western Europe. All other countries are MapQuest Open using enhanced OpenStreetMap (OSM). See appendix for details on where MapQuest has coverage and licensed vs. Open data.
> Local Discovery: MapQuest Vibe was recently launched providing deep insight into neighborhoods and cities focused on providing information for top restaurants, bars, services and shopping. This data is a blend of deep search data points from MapQuest combined with social signals. Neighborhood polygons, walkability scores, urban planning and local business information would be available via future API and widgets.
> Traffic: MapQuest's timely and comprehensive traffic is a competitive advantage of our platform. Additionally, our Traffic API Developer Web Service allows you to spatially search for traffic incidents. MapQuest provides live traffic, construction, and incident feeds that are displayed dynamically on a tiled, aerial or hybrid map image. Data is updated every four to five minutes. There may be additional costs per transaction associated with traffic as a premium service.
