Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps
-
Next president, assuming there is one, will just change it back to repair relations with our allies.
Even if it never gets changed back, it'll be a generation before people actually start calling it that. No one alive now is going to give a fuck about the Gulf of America or call it that.
Hey conservatives, not that you're intelligent enough to figure out how to get on Lemmy, but if by some miracle one of you reads this, why is Trump doing this and floating invading our allies and annexing their territories instead of lowering the price of groceries as promised on day 1?

Bingo.
Imagine getting every "alpha male" 2A nutjob violent conservative to realize who their actual enemy is.
We'd get some actual positive change in an extremely short period of time.

I wish OSM had the resources to make something akin to Pokemon Go but instead of capturing something, it adds it to the database.

You are in luck my friend: https://streetcomplete.app/
They have made it super easy and fun. I have been playing it for nearly a year and have made a pretty big dent in my local dense metro area.

oh yay!!

Organic Maps has fewer features and settings and concentrates on what most people use the most (find an address, navigate to it).
It is also much, much faster than OsmAnd. -
Every time I try to navigate to an address that's missing in OSM, I just navigate to the nearest one instead. It's not a big deal.
And when I have 5 minutes of free time, I add the address.That's how OSM works. There isn't a dev or company to blame, you can literally fix the missing data yourself. And that's the only way it works.

Just tried: the 'report an issue'/'suggest an edit' button doesn't appear when The Gulf of Mexico is selected.
It does for other locations, but not for the Gulf.

Yes, based on nationalist reasons, to chnage facts to suit governments.
This is no different to google kowtowing to China's imagined borders.

The traffic conditions is huge tho
Just last week, that philly plane crash, I saw exactly where the roads are closed and which roads are congested.
-
It's because people already Mass reported it so they disabled the ability for it

Report an issue through the base report feature
Open maps > your profile picture > last option on the list
You can directly reference and include a screenshot of the map

Generally, Google shows the appropriate name based upon where you are located. So for everyone outside of 'murica, it's still the Gulf of Mexico.
-
Well. O. K.
Then it's my not the 'USA" that did this anymore. It's to be called "North Mexico" now. Fair's fair. -
They said that but it’s a fat lie.

Thanks, I was following this thread and wanted to say the same thing
I've kept updating shops that change, new houses, parking, etc... it's great. I even used it on vacation (when the SO wasn't looking)
My global rank is #1554 and ~#130ish in my local country, but #12 in another country I barely visit, so it shows where more people should
complain lesssupport more.
