TIL MapQuest is still around.
I used their mapping and geocoding APIs for years, back when I was negotiating contracts. They're good (at least in N. America) and 1/5th the price of google.

It's really too bad that Mapquest still looks like it's from the 90s
At this point I think that’s probably a feature

The real gulf of America is the gulf that Trump has ripped open between the US and its allies

Kind of makes me want to go back to printing 6 page instructions to destinations that I hold in my right hand and read whilst driving with my left hand.
Writing the directions down on a paper is still more convenient than taking out and unlocking ypur phone if a) you're on a bike; b) if it is cold out and you don't want to take off your gloves.

Not sure this falls flat or worse. It’s the Gulf of Mexico. That’s it. Nothing else. Not even a conversation. “It is what it is”

You might want to do that anyway. You know, in case everything does get shut down. I know people who can’t navigate their own city without GPS for the life of them.

I think it's just making the point that anyone can name anything whatever they want, but it doesn't change what people call it. Obviously Trump thinks he's God so he probably actually thinks something has happened as a result of his declaration.
The stupid thing is every country and every language has always had different words for the same places.
The French don't call it France.
