MapQuest is Right

Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America. Both Google Maps and Apple Maps have now been updated with the new name.

MapQuest is in the news for refusing to rename “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America” on its map. As Valentina Palladino reports, “Since making a strong statement on X, MapQuest’s iOS app has been downloaded ‘hundreds of thousands’ of times and reached the top spot in both the United States and Canadian Apple App Store charts, according to the company.”

Another perk with using MapQuest, the Gulf of Mexico has not been renamed either.
