MapQuest’s new tool can help you avoid Flock cameras
The terrifyingly informative new map layer reveals all the cameras around you.
MapQuest has launched a new tool to help users avoid Flock cameras, a development that has garnered recent attention for the once-forgotten mapping service. In 2026, the company is standing firm against politically charged renaming efforts. The new feature, called Surveillance Layer, allows users to view Flock cameras, along with similar surveillance solutions from other brands.
As the world faces dystopian trends such as advanced AI causing stress and far-right governments on the rise, MapQuest's initiative stands out as a beacon of hope. The company, which was once renowned for its mapping services before the advent of Google Maps, now offers a solution to help users navigate through the increasing presence of surveillance technology.
