Pulling a Xi, are we? Amazing to see where the orange overlord is getting his inspiration from.

If you consider the most petty possible explanation for any of these "actions," you'll always be at least partially, if not entirely, correct.

Kind of expected, Google maps show you a different version depending of where you are, aligning with your government position.

Well google maps can fuck right off, the cowards. What are everyone's recommendations for alternatives?

It’s pretty difficult to kiss the ring when it’s all the down on the base of the penis. It must be tough on him.

Why would they change it arbitrarily again? I don't understand?
I firmly believe that Trump and friends are having a grand time trolling the world as petty revenge for losing 2020.
In other words, there is no reason other than they can do it and we can do nothing about it.

Did you not hear stormy Daniels account? It really wouldn't be that tough.

Honestly, it's the other way around for me. To be clear, Denali is a much better name than Mount McKinley for multiple reasons, but at least it's our mountain and it was named Mount McKinley at one line.
Gulf of America is just a dumb power move that came out of nowhere, and it's a body of water shared by multiple countries. It's not like this is the only gulf named after only one country it touches out of a few - see also the Gulf of Oman and Gulf of Thailand, for example

Y'all know that's not the argument

One of the defining characteristics of a fascist state is requiring economic entities to align with state interests.

Depends.
If you just want a map to find things, OsmAnd is good.
If you want to prepare hiking/biking trail maps and then download them for offline use, Alpi Maps is really nice.
If you want useful navigation that includes traffic data and gets the realistic arrival time close to correct, Magic Earth is really the only option.
All 3 ultimately depend on OpenStreetMap for their map data. If you use them, consider creating an account and contributing with a tool like StreetComplete.
If you want something that has locations of businesses &etc with accurate names, operating hours, contact information, pictures of the location, street view, user reviews... there are no alternatives.
