TIL that MapQuest still exists
Recently in the news for defying Trump's "Lake America" BS.
Oh, chihuahua!
Kinda? They use osm data and osm didn't change the name so neither did map quest.
They created a whole website to mock the decision. Just like they did with the Gulf.
And now Mapquest is just adding UI that supports OSM data. A good portion of their roadmap is just vibe coding UI for OSM features that already exist.
Initially they did for the Gulf of Mexico too, just a matter of time til they "correct" back to approved government posting stateside
It still says gulf of mexico. Just checked from a US IP address.
“Initially” makes it sound like they eventually capitulated, which they haven’t
It went to one of most downloaded apps after Google renamed lake ontario simply because of the angry Canadians (of which I am now a MapQuest user)
