MapQuest becomes top free app in U.S. after refusing to rename Lake Ontario

MapQuest surged to the top of Apple’s U.S. App Store free charts, recording thousands of new downloads and a 50-fold usage increase. This success followed its refusal to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” unlike competitors like Apple Maps and Google Maps. General manager Doug Berger stated their policy is to “give people an app that keeps the names they’re familiar with.”
