MapQuest (stylized as mapquest) is an American free online web mapping service. It was launched in 1996 as the first commercial web mapping service. [1] MapQuest's competitors include Apple Maps, Here, and Google Maps. [2] [3]
The development of direct reading georeferencing technologies opened the way for mobile mapping systems. GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems, have allowed rapid and accurate determination of position and attitude of remote sensing equipment, [3] effectively leading to direct mapping of features of interest without the need for complex post-processing of observed data.

The Laboratory's Odyssey project created a geographic information system that served as a milestone in the development of integrated mapping systems. [2] The Laboratory influenced numerous computer graphic, mapping and architectural systems such as Intergraph , Computervision , and Esri .
