MapQuest Adds Spy Cam Layer

MapQuest, a navigation service known from past decades, has launched a new surveillance layer within its mobile app. This feature displays the locations of license plate reading cameras, including those from Flock systems, directly on the map. Users can enable this layer to see cameras marked as red eyes, with a vision cone indicating their field of view. Although current functionality does not include automatic routing around these cameras, it provides users with the information needed to make their own decisions about avoidance. This addition comes as MapQuest experiences a resurgence, having also recently announced Android Auto support. The app aims to be a viable alternative for users seeking different options in the mapping application market.
