Gulf of Make a Report to Apple
-
Unfortunately, the reality is that OSM (what Organic Maps gets its data from) is volunteer-run, and most likely nobody's gotten to the bus stops near you yet. The GOOD news is that OSM is easily editable with something like Street Complete on Android, Open Stop on either iOS or Android, or from the comfort of your home on https://www.openstreetmap.org/ . There's other apps too, like EveryDoor and GoMap!! for iOS and Mac. If there's something missing, please feel free to add it, and get in touch with others in your area to help contribute! I've done my own share of updating outdated places, adding new locations, and annotating stuff like street lighting, street surfaces, and so on.

I commented on apples map, too. Organic Maps for me!

There is a better chance that user reporting for this will be disabled more so than it is that this would make a difference. You know that right?
If this latest drama with Apple Maps (and Google Maps) is what pushes someone over the edge to looking for more user respecting options then the people further gone than I would really be comfortable getting used to. Both companies regularly do much more than should do more to turn you off.

Trump ≠ All Americans
It just seems that way

"Why are you so mad" I'm having a casual conversation on a social media platform lol.

I'm in Europe, here it displays «Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)»

Truth is, these big companies don't care about you. Or your opinion. You can threaten them about "switching to Linux", but these companies will think twice and say:
- if we take this complaint seriously, we might retain one (1) customer, which makes us $1000 in the future
- if we follow Trump, we might get some favorable legislation, which makes us $10000000
how, do you think, will apple react?

'cause racism, they think they're better somehow

I never understood StreetComplete
as i understand it, there's tons and thousands of datasets available about public infrastructure, but for some bizarre reason, StreetComplete asks us to fill in that information by hand? How stupid is that? only to make a ton of errors while manually copying in that information.

dd if=user-complaints of=/dev/zerois exactly what apple will do with these complaints
you could just as well burn your money or drive your car into a tree, as a form of protest. it's a waste, either of time, money, or energy, but nothing is achieved that way.

Yeah - I was just pointing out to the USians that it’s only changing in their country. The rest of the world will keep the original name.

there are white mexicans tho..

I can't understand would it even have the part in parentheses in Europe. Think how silly it would look if every location had the regional name for every nearby country added in parentheses after the primary global name. It would be a mess.
Eg:
Germany (Deutschland, Allemagne, Niemcy, Germania, Saksa, <etc>)
Feels to me like special rules Apple has to stroke special fascist egos.
But maybe its not Apple and this is a name set by your local governance. You mind if I ask what country Apple maps you're looking at?
