New App From MapQuest Built From the Ground Up to Protect Your Data

  • No tracking, no sharing your data and no intrusive ads
  • Built in collaboration with Startpage, the world’s most private search engine
  • Try it for free and cancel your subscription anytime

LOS ANGELES: #MapQuest--MapQuest, the original internet mapping solution, today announced the release of Private Maps by MapQuest – the first app from a leading mapping brand specifically designed to protect users’ privacy. Secure, straightforward and free from invasive trackers, Private Maps by MapQuest shifts the focus of online mapping back to what matters most: the journey, because your personal data shouldn’t be the cost of finding your way.

Private Maps, available now for download on Android devices, keeps your routes private with no tracking, no sharing your data and no ads:

  • Anonymous Mode: Search history stays on your device only and clears automatically when you close the app or with the push of a button
  • Private Favorites: Your go-to places saved only on your device
  • Anonymous Analytics: We use only anonymous data to make the app better while keeping your privacy intact

“MapQuest introduced the world’s first online mapping solution and now we’ve come full circle with the launch of the most private mapping experience,” said MapQuest General Manager John Chipouras. “MapQuest learned from the best when building our new Private Maps app: Startpage, the world’s most private search engine. Collaborating with Startpage helped us better understand how to create top-tier privacy protections for people who want directions without jeopardizing their online privacy.”

MapQuest guides tens of millions of users monthly with reliable maps, directions and route planning. MapQuest incorporates high-quality map content from HERE Technologies, which practices a privacy-by-design approach as part of its privacy charter. Acquired by System1 – an AI and machine learning-powered customer acquisition platform – MapQuest has undergone a significant tech transformation. MapQuest users now enjoy faster, more intuitive navigation thanks to major product, team and tech investments that include enhanced search capabilities and cutting-edge mapping data.

Download Private Maps by MapQuest on Google Play.
