Driving Directions in Australia

Are you looking for Google MapQuest driving directions in Australia? Well, then you might be a little bit disappointed after you read this.

Google Maps and MapQuest are two different sites, so what I'm going to do is provide you with a couple of links, one will take you to the Google Maps for Australia website and the other one to the Australian MapQuest site.

Both services offer free driving directions and they are both accurate, so it really doesn't matter which one you use. To get driving directions in Australia using Google Maps click here.

What is Mapquest?

Mapquest is a free web mapping service owned and controlled by AOL. Map Quest was founded in 1967 as the Cartographic Services division of R.R. Donnelley & Sons in Chicago, Illinois, United States. In 1994 the company was renamed to GeoSystems Global Corporation. In the year 2000, Mapquest was acquired by America Online, Inc. Mapquest does not provide street level images anymore, however, their most powerful services and features are still there and they are even better now, like driving directions, live traffic updates, and even weather information. Mapquest also offers free mobile apps that allow users to get voice guided driving directions on the go. Users can also access this service/website via mobile web browsers. Mapquest also provides current GasPrices in any city and for any type of fuel, users can type their address and compare the gas prices of nearby public gas stations. The directions that this service provides are considered the best by most North American users, in other parts of the world Google is probably a better, more powerful option.

What is Google Maps?

Google Maps is an online mapping service application and technology developed and provided by Google. The GMaps API powers many location based services, including popular services such as the Google Maps website, Google Transit, and also maps embedded on third-party websites and third-party mobile applications as well. Google Maps offers street maps, road maps, and an advanced route planner that allows users to get walking, biking, transit, and driving directions. Google Maps is also the backbone of Google Places, the local business and information service that now even includes Zagat reviews. Google's urban business locator is available in many countries around the world. Google also provides indoor maps, 3d maps, and traffic information.
