在互联网泡沫时期上线30年后，MapQuest迎来了新的成功之路。
这家数字地图公司如今登顶苹果应用商店免费应用榜，此前该公司拒绝将安大略湖更名为“美国湖”——尽管特朗普总统上周签署行政命令要求更改湖名。
“此次流量暴涨源于MapQuest坚持在地图上保留湖泊与海湾的历史、常用名称，”该公司周一在一份新闻稿中表示。
ChatGPT位列苹果免费应用下载量第二名。
MapQuest于8月27日在社交媒体上公开了这一决定，配文“我们不会改名”，当天正是特朗普签署改名行政命令的日子。
“我们清楚，我们的地图上对安大略湖的标注是正确的，”该公司后续发帖补充道。MapQuest还推出了一项工具，允许用户自行设定该湖泊的名称。
MapQuest周一表示，自公司宣布保留安大略湖名称以来，已有数十万人下载了该应用。公司称，应用使用量也达到了正常水平的约50倍。

“我们这次沿用了处理墨西哥湾的相同思路：参与公众讨论，推出一款保留大众熟悉名称的应用，”MapQuest总经理道格·伯杰周一在一份声明中说道，“本周末，数十万人通过下载我们的应用向我们传递了‘你们做得对’的信号。”
特朗普上周下令更改安大略湖的名称，当时正值美加两国在贸易问题上爆发冲突。两国因未能达成协议，相互对部分进口商品加征50%的关税。
白宫未立即回应就MapQuest不改安大略湖名称的决定置评的请求。
谷歌地图上周末宣布，将更新地图以反映特朗普为安大略湖设定的新名称。该湖地处美国纽约州与加拿大安大略省的交界地带。如今在谷歌搜索“安大略湖”，搜索结果会导向“美国湖”。
截至9月1日，苹果地图仍将该水域标注为“安大略湖”。
总部位于丹佛的MapQuest于1996年上线，是首批地图服务之一。在GPS普及之前，许多用户会打印该服务提供的分步导航指引，驾车出行时随身携带。

MapQuest tops Apple App Store after refusing to change Lake Ontario to “Lake America”
September 1, 2026 / 10:36 AM EDT / CBS News
Thirty years after launching during the dot-com boom, MapQuest has a new roadmap to success.
The digital mapping company is now the top free app in the Apple App Store after declining to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America,” despite President Trump signing an executive order last week to change its name.
“The surge follows MapQuest’s decision to keep the historical, familiar names for lakes and gulfs on its maps,” the company said Monday in a press release.
ChatGPT is the second-most downloaded free app on Apple.
MapQuest disclosed its decision on social media on Aug. 27, posting “We’re not changing it,” the same day Mr. Trump signed the order directing the name change.
“We are aware that Lake Ontario is being correctly labeled on our map,” the company later posted. MapQuest also launched a tool that allows people to create their own name for the lake.
MapQuest said Monday that hundreds of thousands of people have downloaded the app since the company announced it would keep the name Lake Ontario. Usage of the app is also running roughly 50 times its normal rate, the company said.

“We took the same approach we did with the Gulf of Mexico: be part of the conversation, and give people an app that keeps the names they’re familiar with,” Doug Berger, general manager of MapQuest, said in a statement on Monday. “Hundreds of thousands of people signaled to us this weekend that we got it right, by downloading our app.”
Mr. Trump ordered the name change for Lake Ontario last week as the U.S. and Canada clashed over trade issues. The countries mutually imposed 50% tariffs on some imports after failing to reach a deal.
The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on MapQuest’s decision not to change Lake Ontario’s name.
Google Maps announced over the weekend that it was updating its maps to reflect Mr. Trump’s new name for Lake Ontario, which straddles the border between New York and the Canadian province of Ontario. A search for “Lake Ontario” on Google now directs people to “Lake America.”
As of Sept. 1, Apple Maps was still displaying “Lake Ontario” as the name for the body of water.
Denver-based MapQuest was launched in 1996 and was one of the first mapping services. It provided step-by-step navigation instructions, which many printed out to take with them on their car rides before GPS became more ubiquitous.
