@Susan_calvin Aside from charities that have free Google Suite accounts, I haven't use a Google app in ... four years? There are alternative mappers. I find that #Mapquest's app is about as good as Google's. #CoMaps is still not there, but it's improving.

I picked up #MapQuest to try and #degoogle myself from Google Maps, mostly because every article I read online said it integrated with Android Auto for navigation in the car. Well it wasn't working for me, so I reached out to their support team and apparently they don't actually support it at all. Does anyone know if it's a feature they removed somewhat recently, or are there hundreds of articles on the Internet that explicitly state that MapQuest works with Android Auto that are wrong?
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
Dang, MapQuest about to make a comeback with this:
Name a Gulf …
Make a map, name a Gulf!

OK the #mapquest Name Your Own Gulf stunt is fantastic 😂

Turns out that not only is #MapQuest still a thing, but they have a sense of humor....
(Shout-out to @norwescon, of course!)

MapQuest (yes, they're still around) created a "Name Your Own Gulf" page

Now YOU can name the gulf whatever you wish!
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
