Map app leads Apple after Trump challenge
After MapQuest rejected the demands imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump to change the name of Lake Ontario to "America Lake," the app topped the list of most downloaded applications in the United States, surpassing Google Maps and Apple Maps. Polls showed that only 14% of Americans supported Trump's decision, while the app saw a download increase estimated at 50 times the normal rate, making it the fourth most popular navigation app in the United States and second in Canada. The Trump administration attempted to force the name change on mapping services, but MapQuest stood firm in defending user preferences and continued to resist policies that conflicted with their wishes.
