MapQuest and iHeartRadio Launch First-Ever Audio Integration on MapQuest.com

iHeartRadio’s industry-leading audio portfolio now streaming on MapQuest.com

LOS ANGELES, CA — May 7, 2026 — MapQuest, the trusted navigation platform used by tens of millions of people each month, and iHeartRadio, the leading audio company in the United States, today announced a new partnership that brings live iHeartRadio streaming directly to MapQuest.com, marking the first-ever audio integration in the platform’s history. 

The integration allows MapQuest users to listen to live iHeartRadio stations while navigating. Users on MapQuest.com will now see a “Live Radio” button in the top-right corner of the map, seamlessly pairing real-time directions with industry-leading audio content. Mobile app integration is planned for a future phase. 

The partnership delivers scale and value for both brands. Through the partnership, MapQuest will leverage iHeartMedia’s expansive multi-platform audio network – including broadcast radio, podcasts, and events – to accelerate brand awareness and reach new audiences nationwide. 

"The open road and great audio have always gone together, which is why this partnership made so much sense,” said Doug Berger, General Manager of MapQuest. “iHeartRadio brings the country's most popular stations directly into the MapQuest experience, giving our users live entertainment alongside the navigation they already trust. It's a simple, meaningful upgrade and an exciting first for MapQuest." 

“This partnership puts iHeart’s live radio in front of MapQuest’s millions of monthly users, giving consumers more of the content they seek,” said Michael Biondo, President of Business Development and Strategic Partnerships for iHeartMedia. “It’s a simple, intuitive way to extend our reach and enhance how people experience audio on the go.” 

The integration allows iHeartRadio stations to complement MapQuest’s trusted navigation and mapping content, enhancing the overall user experience by combining real-time directions with live audio entertainment and information.
