Trump Just Got Embarrassed by the “OG of Online Mapping” The recent controversy surrounding President Trump's attempt to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America" reveals the power dynamics between tech giants and the White House.
While Apple and Google quickly acquiesced to the name change, only to face backlash from users who flocked to MapQuest, the latter's defiant stance on keeping the original name has earned it newfound goodwill.
MapQuest's popularity surge is not a fleeting reaction to Trump's antics; rather, it marks a significant shift in how people perceive and interact with mapping apps.
