MapQuest Surges After Defying Trump's Lake Rename | Dallas News

MapQuest’s unexpected App Store surge proves when it comes to naming lakes, some users still prefer “Lake Ontario” over “Lake America”—and they’re not backing down. After President Trump’s executive order demanded the name change, MapQuest doubled down, even letting users rename the lake themselves. The result? Hundreds of thousands of downloads and a 50x spike in app usage. While Google Maps complied and Apple Maps held firm, this bold stand has reignited interest in the once-dominant mapping service—proving that sometimes, sticking to tradition wins big.
