Apparently you need a developer key and that gets you 15000 monthly transactions for free. Can someone explain where one enters this key in AQ? Or is there a descriptive post you can direct me to ... because I believe a key is also needed to access Bing maps.
ADDENDUM
I just created a free MapQuest Developer account. I now have a "Consumer Key" and "Consumer Secret" and await instructions on where they go.
