Anyone else surprised to hear that MapQuest still even exists? It's like a culture-period reference point when in movies/shows a character looks something up on mapquest or prints a map. I mean it hasn't been a thing for about 15+ years. Assumed it got sold off/absorbed or something

Someone at MapQuest saw all the drama around the "Gulf of America" and said "Oh hell no we are not stepping into that shit"

I don't think it's ideal for a moron who's a geography failure to come along and just call it whatever they want, myself.
You need to give average people a chance too, as well as those above average :)

North Sea <- Gulf of Yorkshire

I respect them for not immediately renaming the Gulf of Mexico in their product to cater to the whims of the current administration, enough to download the app as a situational replacement for Google Maps. But I’m confused by this. It seems even more insulting in some ways, especially since they don’t even include the most basic moderation / blocked word list.

Fun, but the icons (on mobile) are kind of confusing. The first icon looks more like some kind of reset button than submit

Interesting that emoji break it :)
Still fun
