MapQuest Releases API

MapQuest: Features

MapQuest has released an API (MapQuest OpenAPI) so you can create your own maps using MapQuest maps.

The MapQuest OpenAPI is a free service that allows you to use JavaScript to easily integrate routing, geocoding and mapping into your website. With this feature-rich API you can create dynamic routing and mapping applications for personal or community use.

(Thanks Google for forcing MapQuest to be competitive and release their own API. Competition is a good thing.)
