Apple Maps has also switched to the incorrect in every way "Gulf of America" so I've deleted that app, along with Google Maps, and have now installed MapQuest, regardless of any crazy routes on which it may take me. #iykyk

#MapQuest really needs to add this to their marketing.

You can add 'layers' to their app. Gas/Lodging/Groceries/Hotels all well and good.

But they also have a Layer for ICE CREAM

"In a world where Apple Maps, Google Maps, and even Bing (yes, Bing) have bent the knee and rebranded the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, MapQuest has taken a different approach: pure, unfiltered chaos and hilarity. Introducing 'Name Your Own Gulf', the feature nobody asked for but everyone definitely needs."

#MapQuest is doing eleventh-level #trolling and I am here for it. https://gulfof.mapquest.com/

As a MapQuest alum from the mid aughts when we were dueling with Google to be the most popular maps app I’m pleased to see #MapQuest staging a comeback by being the sole maps-and-driving-directions app that isn’t caving to the embarrassing and deeply fascist “Gulf of America” edict.

Also cute that they created an app so anyone can pretend to be Glorious Emperor and rename the Gulf as they please. http://gulfof.mapquest.com/img/map?name=Anticipatory+Obedience

It’s a clever marketing move for #MapQuest to have a Gulf of N generator!

So in moving away from #Twitter, #meta and #google, I have rediscovered #MapQuest and #Metacrawler.

I always thought web crawler became http://metacrawler.com, which then became Google. Apparently not.

And Google maps is the main Google thing that I use. Mostly for tracking the traffic while I'm driving somewhere.

And I've looked up the ownership of Metarawler and http://MapQuest.com as well. They may be toxic and corporate, I don't know. But they aren't those #fascist #oligarchs ?

#Mapquest may have the last laugh.

If you think this is a waste, printed out #MapQuest instructions is still an option for you

Either print out #Mapquest or stay lost, frenz

Raise your hand if you drove around with #Mapquest on your Palm #Treo, too
