MapQuest downloads rise after Lake Ontario name change decline
MapQuest regained popularity after a social media campaign protesting President Trump's executive order to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America. The app was the top-downloaded navigation app in the Apple App Store and the third overall over the weekend, with downloads surging by 50 times. The campaign included a viral post and an online name generator, aiming to attract users dissatisfied with the name change. MapQuest's CEO criticized the decision, and the company has a history of humorous responses to similar renaming efforts. The move reflects ongoing disagreements over the renaming of the lake, which Canada's officials and residents strongly oppose.
