MapQuest expands to Android Auto as viral popularity brings drivers back
The nearly 30-year-old service expands to vehicle screens to maintain its viral app store momentum.
MapQuest has launched experimental Android Auto support, expanding its mapping service to vehicle dashboards. This move comes after the near-decade-old navigation service saw a surge in popularity after it refused to rename “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America.” The update introduces crowdsourced incident reporting, although early testers note unpolished performance and remnants of iOS code. MapQuest announced the Android Auto support via an X post, showcasing the September 1 changelog for its app.
