Recently in the news for defying Trump's "Lake America" BS.

Kinda? They use osm data and osm didn't change the name so neither did map quest.

They created a whole website to mock the decision. Just like they did with the Gulf.

And now Mapquest is just adding UI that supports OSM data. A good portion of their roadmap is just vibe coding UI for OSM features that already exist.
