Hi everyone,
here is my latest extension. MapQuest (https://developer.mapquest.com/) provides a number of services regarding geocode, reverse geocode, maps, routes and much more. To use their API first You have to register Your account to receive your API Key, there is a Free plan with 15,000 transactions per month.
My extension does not cover all the MapQuest API available and not all the optional parameters, but only the functions that I think are more interesting or useful (my opinion).

longitude: longitude coordinate
CALCULATE ROUTE You get a complete route with every single step
