Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps

I somehow have a feeling that being president of the USA does not mean you can do whatever you want and people have to follow... Google Map, for one, is a product of a private company, not a Federal Service of the USA - so if they want to call it "Gulf of Google", they could!
Then you're right, they already protect/black out places and some places' names, however the Gulf of America, like the Channel of Washington are just bs that in the worst case scenario will live 4 years. So it's a joke and I like joking too -

My test search for the UPS store up the street sent me 4km away. So...not great.

Personally I think that obeying in advance only makes it a riskier place for the employees, but it is not my decision to make.

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.

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
