Major Accessibility Improvements in version 3.0.2.

Hope Accessibility remains intact
I hope that the direction indicator in trip segment displayed at the top of the screen becomes accessible to VoiceOver users. I just got this app myself and need to actually try it, but I love the interface. It's simple and intuitive to use.
Version 3.3.1
Like to see if anyone else has notice this or not. Now when I do a search the Search List no longer tells you the addresses of the places or businesses you are seeking.
For example: I entered McDonald's. It showed me alist of McDonald's but as you flick through the results you will only hear McDonald's, McDonald's, McDonald's, and so on. It doesn't give me the address nor the location of the resturant. However, if I doulbe tap on the item. It will then take me to a page that gives me the details.
So I've personally don't like this of having to go from one location to another by going back and forth on the Search Results.
Is anyone else having these issues?

MapQuest comes with a whole NEW look. Along with a NEW look comes with some issues. Nothing major in what I have seen so far. It is mostly accessible and is not to difficult to use. There are some buttons that are not label at all and some that are not clearly label but easy to understand what they are for.

Squashing bugs and saving the day!
This app is a mess but I still use it.
I enjoy using this app for all my GPS needs. It works out alright when the families driving and you're the one giving the directions. However it has gotten very weird as of the new version and you really have to know what buttons do so that you can use it properly. I still stand by this app because it has gotten me to where my family needs to go every day.
