MapQuest's new Directions Web Service entered beta this week. MapQuest describe the new web service as a "sane and modern web service that's easy to use".

Samples show a RESTful web request which includes a developer license key. The response is JSONP which can fire a JavaScript callback function. The serviceprovides routing directions, supports a number of formats (JSON,XML,Key-Value, plus others in development) and includes URLs to suitable images (eg. road shields).

Full information and sign-up links can be found on the MapQuest developer pages:
