America Online's MapQuest unit on Monday launched MapQuest Navigator, which lets people access the Global Positioning Service, or GPS, on mobile phones. A partnership with Telmap provides full-color maps and turn-by-turn navigation instructions by voice, graphics and text. Users can access a database of merchants and points of interest.
MapQuest also announced additional new Web-enabled mobile services that let people access interactive maps, get driving directions and find places. The services are based on technology from InfoGin.
