🚀 Feature Idea for MapQuest Directions: Saved Route Collections & Route History Dashboard

mapquest directions has long been a trusted name in online navigation, known for its simple, reliable directions. But there’s one feature that could take it to the next level—especially for power users, road trippers, delivery drivers, and everyday planners.

💡 Idea: Saved Route Collections + Route History Dashboard
What if users could create custom “collections” of routes—allowing them to save, organize, and access their favorite or frequently used multi-stop routes with just a few clicks?

🗂️ How it could work:
Users create named collections like:

🚗 “Weekend Getaways”

🛍️ “Errand Loops”

🚚 “Delivery Routes”

🏞️ “Scenic Road Trips”

Each collection contains one or more saved routes, which could include multiple stops, travel preferences (avoid tolls, highways, etc.), and custom notes.

Add tags or icons for quick filtering and searching.

🔄 Plus: A Route History Dashboard
An automatically generated timeline of your past routes:

Shows previous trips and stops

Revisit or reload any route from history

Great for users who repeat the same trips weekly or seasonally

🌟 Why it Matters:
Time-Saving: No need to re-enter stops for routine or repeat trips.

User-Centric: Great for businesses, road trippers, or anyone who likes to plan ahead.

Competitive Edge: A unique offering that sets MapQuest apart from Google Maps and Waze.

🧠 Bonus Features (Optional):
Share route collections via link or QR code

Sync across devices with login

Add calendar integration (schedule routes for specific days)

Export printable versions for offline use

If MapQuest added this kind of route organization feature, it could become not just a navigation tool—but a full trip management platform.
