Ever walk out the door and leave the printed directions on the counter? Well, I bet you rarely forget your cell phone! Another feature we've introduced back into BETA is various different ways to share the map or directions you just created. Send your directions to your cell phone simply by clicking on the "Send to Cell" option and you'll have your directions within a few seconds while also saving ink and paper. See the screenshot below of where "Send to Cell" can be found in the upper left corner of the map.

Want to pre-populate the "Send to Cell" form with the mobile number you use most frequently? No problem. Click on the "My Settings" tab under the MapQuest logo and save your Default Mobile Phone Number in the section in the bottom left column. Below is another screenshot of where this is located in the "My Settings" tab.

But the "Send" button does more; it also allows you to email a map/directions or add a link to a blog or website.

So, look to the Send button the next time you're on MapQuest to share where you're going with yourself and with others.
