MapQuest, the pioneering navigation app, has reached the number one spot on the most-downloaded US chart, surpassing Google and Apple Maps. The app openly defied a US executive order from President Trump that directed federal agencies to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America." MapQuest's stance, posting "we're not changing it," resonated with users, leading to its surge in popularity.
