TL;DR

• MapQuest has launched experimental Android Auto support, bringing its mapping service directly to vehicle dashboards.
• The expansion follows a surge in viral popularity that propelled the nearly 30-year-old navigation service into the top 10 free app store charts after it took a stand against renaming “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America.”
• The update adds crowdsourced incident reporting, though early testers report unpolished performance and leftover iOS code.

MapQuest is testing experimental support for Android Auto, finally bringing the navigation service directly to vehicle dashboards on Google’s platform. While Google continues to refine its in-car Android Auto experience, MapQuest’s sudden arrival introduces a surprising alternative for drivers looking beyond the default navigation apps.

MapQuest announced the app’s arrival on Android Auto via an X post, showcasing the changelog for its September 1 update.
