#AvoidTrump via MapQuest |
MapQuest, an innovator in the digital mapping industry, created the #AvoidTrump Location Service with the help of local contributors in December of 2015. The ultimate Donald Trump map provides users tips on how to be like Trump or avoid him in cities across the country.
"As our users explore and seek out new destinations and adventures, we are continuously looking for creative ways to offer a distinct local perspective," said Leila Qualheim, communications director at MapQuest. "Whether you love or hate him, #AvoidTrump was developed as a fun way to offer people an opportunity to be him or flee him across the country. This is also a great creative example of how any developer can quickly and easily use our APIs."Hailed as the "Internet's highest honor" by The New York Times, The Webby Awards, presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet.
