MapQuest sees app download surge after not bowing to Trump in renaming Lake Ontario

Jump to contentAllNewsSportCultureLifestyleMapQuest surged to the top of the App Store navigation charts after publicly refusing to comply with President Donald Trump's executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America. Trump signed the order after trade talks between the U.S. and Canada collapsed, escalating a dispute that has included a 50 percent tariff on $20 billion of Canadian imports. Google Maps updated the body of water's name to Lake America for U.S. users to align with official government records, drawing sharp criticism from public figures. MapQuest reported a 50-fold increase in app usage and reached the highest App Store ranking in its 30-year history following its refusal to change the name. Apple Maps has not yet altered the name on its platform, though Interior Secretary Doug Burgum stated that Trump directly contacted Apple to request the change.
