Apple Maps now shows the Gulf of America
-
Sears Tower
Staples Center
6th Avenue
Gulf of Mexico
I don't give a shit who thinks it should change, I'll use the original names forever
-
If you're a dumbass.
-
Reported it on Apple Maps as the wrong name. See how long they let reports come in.
-
the gulf of mexico isn't bordering any country in south america
-
Par for course
-
Did my part
-
Yeah gulf of “North America” would be more accurate in that scenario
-
Google maps on Android shows "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".
-
That opens another can of worms, since the continent is called America, and the country that appropriated it is The United States of America. Calling the continent “Americas” implies that USA is the original America.
As recent as the 80s it was still called America by everyone except USA and some countries of Europe.
-
OK, fine, Central America. OP's point still stands.
-
I think it’s just disgusting to see these companies I am dependent on bowing down to Trump’s bullshit.
-
Well, yeah, because the United States Geographical Service is the source of truth for geographical names. No surprise Google and Apple follow it. There's a little more breakdown than that, but that's the gist of it.

The change is fucking stupid, you know it, I know it, we all know it. Save your fucking ire for all the real shit going down. In comparison, this doesn't rate a single breath.
-
Pathetic.
-
Is this a fucking joke
-
He’s a bot
-
Still says Gulf of Mexico to me. Is the change just for American users then?
-
We’ve known since the beginning their products are made off the suffering of slave labor. Them being evil isn’t new whatsoever.
-
-
Seems like it. Still Gulf of Mexico on my end.
-
Starting a petition to have places renamed for Canadians.
No longer the USA, it shall be called the 4th Canadian territory: south central Canada
The arctic shall be named: Suckitputin
Greenland shall be named: Greenland (suckitmagats)
