What commenters are saying

Commenters split on MapQuest's motives and execution. Supporters praised the feature as a way to avoid or hunt cameras, and some noted MapQuest uses OpenStreetMap data (including user-added LPRs). Critics argued it normalizes surveillance, warned of vandalism (false camera entries in OSM via DeFlock), and noted MapQuest's CarPlay app had crashes and slow directions. Several commenters highlighted that the lake renaming issue drove users to try MapQuest, but performance problems limited adoption.
