As a (former) map contributor, I will -and I hope many others with me- report it as a mistake. Of course Google will not change it back, but it does not matter.
USA and it’s oligarchs have gone mad.
This is already going to cost taxpayers a fortune in governmental redrawn maps, of which there are a ridiculous number across federal and state departments, and that’s before you go into even more costly things like replacing all the road signs that mention the Gulf of Mexico.
Which makes me wonder how much it is going to cost all these tech companies that reference it to do the same. Some of it is just changing a word in a database, but I have a feeling that’s only some of it.
Omg lol. They’re all just licking the boot like it was covered in piss (because they were told it was good).
They’re abandoning Linux users to the cops and global responsibility in one day.
Edit: Facebook and Google. But really they’re all in the domed city together now waiting for the ship to be built.
So… I have no intention to use google maps as a result of this. Not like I used it much to begin with, but I’m going to do my part to not enable these ignorant cowardly pissfarts to cartographically troll an entire planet.
No sir, not on my astrolabe!
Make sure you use maps not owned by Google. Waze is part of Google BTW.
I use Apple Maps almost exclusively.
Marginally better, I’ll have to see if they have it on android
For trails I already use OSM, how is it for navigation?
Apple maps? Other preferences?
I wonder what the options are no buck Google Navigation on my EV’s infotainment console.
I use Apple Maps.
I was looking for a reason to fully commit to OpenStreetMap.
Getting groups to go along with your stupid minor lies is the first step. That way when you start doing the bigger important lies they are already used to just going along with your lies.
This is straight from the authoritarian play book and Trump is not doing this without purpose.
We just call it the Gulf Coast here.
But if they really wanna get nitpicky, might as well rename it to the Gulf of Oil.
I prefer to call it the Gulf of Golf Balls after the BP spill.
I live on the Gulf of Goat Shit, so Golf Balls works for me as well 👍
Do the Trump dipshits realize they’re just renaming it after the continent? The continent that Mexico is also on? There is no country named ‘America.’ There are the United States of America: a federation of semi autonomous states that are almost exclusively located on the North American continent.
They’re already living in a country that they think is named America. Much of the world follows suit too.
Trump dipshits
There’s your answer.
What a bunch of pussies.
Are they renaming china the great Gyna? Jainah? Chi-nuh?
