Recently we praised the fast TomTom, iPhone intuitive, which makes the phone a step beyond the integration of Google Maps, making it a GPS device (for mounting on the dashboard, even). Now, MapQuest is also its implementation Navigator for the iPhone. Its interface is so smooth and full of features, you will not get the iPhone out of the box, although the subscription model may turn some buyers away.

Interface and functionality

MapQuest application can do many things: to give driving directions, local search (MapQuest has more than 16 million points of interest), using the iPhone GPS to establish a baseline, and even street names, which complained TomTom that the application can not do. Users also can choose between 2D and 3D.

One of the things that sold me is the carousel of interest that covers the bottom of the display. The icon-based menu navigation allows access to common categories of destinations, such as airports. This is the nice interface, with faster access to things people are interested in who sold me my memory in my hands.

Price and Availability

As I said, the application is a subscription service. Whereas the implementation costs TomTom nonrecurring charge of $ 99.99 (the car mount sold separately), MapQuest application costs $ 3.99 a month, $ 9.99 for three months and $ 29.99 per year. Is this a good deal? Depends on how you look. It is true that the subscription model means you are paying, but in a head to head with the implementation of TomTom at least, you should use more than two years to coincide with the investment of one hundred dollars.

What application wins? What should we wait until the hands of MapQuest application in a long-term situation of the real world. Until then, color us curious. Explore more screens after the jump.

Design

Awesome is a beautiful phone black with red accents (ie, its ties to Verizon). It measures 4.6 x 2.3 x 0.5 inches, which makes it very portable, thin and weighs 4.6 oz. It is much lighter than the droid Motorola (6 ounces), but the same weight as the GSM version of the One Nexus. He felt light enough that sometimes we notice in our pocket. At the top, there is a headphone jack and 3.5mm power button, which serves as a button Sleep / wake when the phone is switched on. The right side of the unit is clean and free of buttons, sailed houses a micro-USB port and a volume rocker.

When you return the most incredible and look in the back, things start to look busy. There is a large chamber, 8-megapixel camera with dual LED flash red sitting on a plate with an odd number, terraced design that resembles a topographical map. We wonder if the peaks and raises the example of a design feature of arbitrariness, but when you remove the battery cover emblazoned HTC, you will find that they are there because the interior of the phone. He was also hit with more red than you’ve ever seen in a camera both inside and battery are bright red. You either love it or hate it.

“I found this on my iPhone a little over a week … I really liked the story so I would buy a copy for a friend. In the bookstore I was surprised. It was more than 1,000 pages! If I had been presented with the book in this way, never been read. It would have been like climbing a mountain. ”
