Mapquest Has New API

All the buzz in the spatial blogs is the new API by Mapquest. From the site, “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.”

Routing is a pretty nice addition to the toolset. Maybe if Jesse and Sue push me hard enough, I’ll get around to doing a comparison of Google, Virtual Earth, and now Mapquests’ APIs to see what they can all do!

Nominally from Spatially Adjusted, but the news is in pretty much everyone’s blog!
