An executive for the bygone app explains the “surreal” surge of users after it refused to capitulate to Trump’s plan to rename Lake Ontario.

President Trump's order to rename Lake Ontario to "Lake America" is stirring up more controversy, as tech companies decide whether to comply or not. The big picture: Google and other digital map providers — like MapQuest and Apple — have split on whether to accept the name change or keep Lake Ontario on their maps.

As of Tuesday, the 30-year-old navigation tool was Apple's No. 1 free app after the company rebuffed an executive order renaming the Great Lake.
