Forced to have "Gulf of America"

Even the german language version does this now.

How long until the US pull a China and attack mexican fishing boats?

I was curious about Open Street Maps, since anyone can edit it.

Gulf of America comes up specifically as an official name for US, and there is also a note about how if you change the English name without agreement in the discussion then it will be reverted:

Discussion is here: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/gulf-of-america-gulf-of-mexico/124571

It seems the general consensus is that the US have that as an official name, but it's not the common English name so name:en stays as the Gulf of Mexico.

The more quickly the world decouples from the US, the better.

Will prices start going down now?

Doing my part.

No, don't use the sexy meme template for this change. It's just a dumb dick measuring move. It doesn't deserve that honor.

Apple at least aren't showing me that dumb shit in Australia that Google is doing with parentheses:

This caused me to delete Google Maps, but their removal of Black History month from Google Calendar is what's making me contemplate migrating everything else away from them...

That singlehandedly caused me to begin actively moving away from Google starting yesterday. Gonna be a pain in the ass, but I'm working on it.

My interim e-mail solution is mailbox.org. Trying a 30-day free trial and annoyed at having to pay, but fuck it. It's cheap. Like $1-$3/month. Will see.

I'm assuming OpenStreetMaps has an app and plan to check today.

I've started decluttering/backing up my Drive and Photos so that I can unsubscribe from their recently-changed shit subscription structure without losing essential files.

Organic Maps is cool.

No one asking where this template is from. sigh Where's it from my good people?

Don't forget Microsoft with Bing maps. At least Google made this just for US users, they made it for everyone.

maps.me still keeping it so far, from OSM.

Any coders want to instantly have one of the most popular extensions for firefox, chrome, etc? It seems this would be the type of thing that would be relatively easy for an extension/add-on to fix.

The place to protest this isn't Google.

We need to have everyone propose a name change to the official body in charge of place names, the US Board on Geographic Names.

Unfortunately, one of the rules on name changes is "Changing a name merely to correct or re-establish historical usage is not in and of itself a reason to change a name."

On the other hand, they also say "The most important consideration is local use and acceptance," so the sooner we act, the better.

Just because you know cartography is lying, doesn't mean that you have to do it on purpose

Weird that I got this:

Well those are american companies. If the gov vhanges the name of.a.street we expect.them to change in the maps right? In this case they are following protocol

Can’t wait for Apple+Google to change USA to „small penis land“ as per my decree wich changed the name to represent the population and acknowledges the fact that there not the only America, but also central and south as well as Canada and México

This is a very weird visual

Is it like this for everyone?

First off fuck trump

But my hot take is that google should show it as gulf of america and remove holidays from the calendar. Google should be a source of fact and the fact is the Republican administration has officially renamed the gulf of Mexico and removed those as federally recognized holidays.

Google shouldn't be "protesting", the blame here is on the US government. I dont want Google's "opinion" on things when I search. Be mad at Google when they also refuse to do black history doodles on their front page (like, right now I think)

Surely more fully the "Intellectual Gulf of America".

Out of all of the shit Trump is doing, this is the least consequential. Trans people are dying because they can't get medical care, immigrants are being sent to a concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay, Trump is planning to level Gaza... but let's talk about a name on a map.

Anyone know of a good alternative that works with Android Auto?

OpenStreet maps 😎

It shows like this for me?? does anyone know why??

(image was gulf of mexico looked at from google maps, but with "mexico" replaced with "chile")

I upvote this meme format every time

Apple changed it too? I literally had a coworker gloat about how they're glad they switched to apple since their iPhone would NEVER do that bc Apple is an "ethical company".

It's still Gulf of Russia on Yandex maps. JK, it's Галф оф Мексико

Oh goody, Republicans should rename a bunch of post offices too, so they can brag about how much they have made America great again -
keeps the mindless minion's minds off those grocery and egg prices.

Where is this from?

Meanwhile Google wont even update street adresses that are 10+ years wrong ffs

They are trying to drill it into people's head until the name becomes normalised and accepted.
