Mashup University – MapQuest OpenAPI

Mapquest is up next with Antony Pegg and Joe Hughes.

Most popular mapping site on web with 50 million unique users per month, 1.25 billion page views (wow). More mapping than all competitors combined. Top 10 internet brand.

Mapquest Business Solutions.

OpenAPI. Mapping, Geocoding, and routing in a single API. Sounds great. But commercial limitations sound like they may be restrictive? As with all map providers you should talk to them if you have great commercial aps – they generally like to see innovations more than apply restrictions to developers. Integrated into AJAX style scripting interface.

Shows a great icon set for plotting data points.

Joe Hughes is up now with demo of the “Load Remote” feature of the API using a service side module with third party traffic feed.

ChefMoz/Mapquest demo with restaurant listings plotted with opening times.

Move developer tools and demos:
