How’s that boot taste google
Google maps classifies USA as sensitive country
Should be called “snowflake” country
When they do it, We need to encourage people to report it as incorrect information. If everyone does it then it may be enough for show we don’t want this and don’t want to be seen as the fools the White House actually is.
Guess they’ll do anything to appease the new self appointed co-dictators of North America…
Gulf of Performative Nonsense
Gulf of Pretention
This has “freedom fries” energy all over it.
No, see y’all’ve got it backwards. It’s the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of the United States of America. He’s making it more inclusive!

What till y’all find out they label Nihon as “Japan”.
Google’s doing what they always do, following official government naming conventions. If, and when, the US officially changes the name, they will follow suit.
Personally, I’d rather they get their back up and say “no”, but at least they’re being internally consistent.
Wait…are you saying if I go to Japan, and learn the language, they’ll refer to it as Nihon, and think I’m a stupid American for saying Japan instead?
Baka Gaijin, but yes.
Wait until folks find out Greeks call Greece “Hella” and Hungarians call Hungary “Magyarország” (Land of the Magyars)
someone needs to make a Firefox plugin that reverts the change.
We have now decided that this someone is you.
If I hadn’t had a stroke in november and am still trying to get my brain back to normal I would totally learn how.
Just change every “X of Y” to “X of America.”
Then we’ll change the X, also to “America.”
That (if taken literally)… would also make Elon “the CEO of America”.
I’ve made a couple of Firefox extensions just for personal/fun stuff, might give this a shot.
Maybe a CSS would work, stylus is fairly easy to use
just when you think this timeline can’t get any stupider.
Pace yourself, we got almost four years to go. At least.
Some Alternatives:
Organic Maps (Mobile)
EDIT: Added Organic Maps
EDIT: Removed Apple Maps since they’ve made their change.
If you see the Gulf of Mexico pop up on street map your car may be floating.
Anything that includes public transit routing? It doesn’t look like OSM or MapQuest include public transit, and I’m not seeing an option to use Apple Maps via the web browser on Android.
For destinations I go to regularly, I can easily pull up schedules without Google maps, but if I’m going somewhere new, Google maps greatly simplifies the process of figuring out which route(s) to take.
Organic maps does
I see the option for transit directions in the app, but I’ve tried a few different destinations that I’ve regularly visited via bus, and it only gave walking directions for all of them. I also tried the airport, which I usually get to via rail, and it says that subway navigation isn’t available in my region yet.
No, Organic Maps works similarly to Google Maps and it’s all on your device and foss
Hasn’t OSM also said that they will change it once it’s properly completed?

Switch to the open source and private Organic Maps folks!
not really an option for many ppl with useful features missing like satellite image, street view, public transport
They honestly feel a bit like a satirical version of North Korea by isolating themselves with certain policies, and making crazy threats to anyone they can.
by isolating themselves
From healthy people
Google a lil’ bitch
EDIT: little to lil’
I mean if you want to be really stupid, call it the Gulf of Texas.
I call it The Gulf of Pennsilvania.
Gulf of Mississippi. Let them be #1 in something nice.
Don’t forget the other random renaming he did, Denali. It’ll always be Denali to myself and the climbing community.
- It sounds snappier than McKinley
- It actually had that name before. It wasn’t just pulled out of thin air to be PC.
- McKinley had nothing to do with the area, he was gov of Ohio. He never even visited it, it was just named after him to curry favor with him.
