Ha, love it. And before Mapquest, too! My dad used to hand his Perly's down to the rest of the family (previous years), so not all the streets were updated, lol.

This was the Mapquest and google maps of its day. It no doubt saved countless lives. I inherited several along with stories of how treacherous travel could be for people just trying to visit relatives or move state to state.

@Mrs1500 My coworker (age 20) was stunned when I told her I used to print out Mapquest directions and either roll down my window or stop at a gas station for directions. Our client (age 7) asked why I didn’t have a phone as a kid, was I poor.

@DirectTechYT Apple Maps once tried to take me the wrong way down a one way street, then onto an active military airport runway. Google Maps and Mapquest certainly never did that to me.

Los Angeles 1999. You either learned where everything was with just your brain or had a Thomas Guide (I'm taping some ripped pages together). Or printed MapQuest, or wrote down where Central Casting or your boss told you to go https://t.co/yf7v47Kcep

@YoDanno ... this was before GPS on phones, so I had a printed out map from MapQuest but many of the streets there weren't marked. I got lost. No cellphone service in the hills so I had to drive all the way back DOWN the hill until I got service, then call for directions. Got there...

@PNav57 To be fair, MapQuest wasn't our pirate era. Our pirate era was "turn right at the second street past the old HEB, then left at the house with the broken mailbox. It's the 5th house on the right, watch for a red door..." And we were screwed when that guy fixed his mailbox 😂

I helped lead the @MapQuest rewrite from Angular 1.x to Preact. It was an incredible change that did just straight up fix a lot of things. However if any engineer says a complete rewrite of almost anything will only take 2-3 months, they're completely wrong.

I can remember a time before MapQuest where you called a number and had to listen to an ad before they'd give the directions. You actually had to write down each step. Before that I had to use actual maps for each step.

This is how people got directions in 2004 from Map Quest. Before that they either used maps with a comp***, or wrote down landmarks (e.g. "Drive down Avery Lane, turn right at the Texaco gas station", etc). #MapQuest #maps #directions https://t.co/6fjGgZikPz

MapQuest directions literally used to tell you how to get out of your driveway, go down your street, and leave the neighborhood. I always felt that, if you couldn't do without directions 1-4, you had no business on the highway with other drivers. Period. 🤚🏽
