MapQuest Hits No. 1 in App Stores After Refusing to Rename Lake Ontario
MapQuest has surged to the top of the navigation charts in the U.S. and Canadian App Stores after refusing to adopt the name 'Lake America' for Lake Ontario. The decision, made in response to a U.S. executive order, triggered a massive spike in downloads, with usage reaching 50 times its normal rate. While Google Maps updated its labels, MapQuest retained traditional names, offering users a tool to customize their own map labels.
