How’s that boot taste google
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
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)
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.
mapbox?
Hasn’t OSM also said that they will change it once it’s properly completed?

just when you think this timeline can’t get any stupider.
Pace yourself, we got almost four years to go. At least.
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.
Google a lil’ bitch
EDIT: little to lil’
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.
I can’t believe I still have it but I’m going to start actively changing emails on all my old accounts on services I had registered with gmail before I switched.
Freedom gulf
should have been ‘gulf of muricunts’
Honestly, since it’s between North America and South America – I’m kind of indifferent about it. It being called Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of America isn’t going to really change anything.
If it doesn’t matter then why change it at all?
I dunno - why do you change your style of clothes in different seasons?
Because you want to. Does it need a greater explanation than that?
I’m down to clown when it comes to criticizing Trump for shit, but this realistically isn’t going to do anything except make people big mad, for reasons they can’t actually explain. If “your” candidate (whoever that is) wanted to do it, you’d make excuses for why it was a perfectly okay thing to do. I’m just reasonable and realize it doesn’t really fucking matter. In 4 years it’ll change back to Gulf of Mexico, and nobody will even remember it was a thing in 20.
So why let this rage bait drive you?
If “my” candidate wanted to do it, I’d seriously reconsider their fitness for office.
