No, we yanks are familiar with this policy. We just think capitulating to this performative nonsense is ridiculous.

Google has been doing this all along with other places, don't suddenly get all up in arms when you guys clearly didn't care before.

Also pick your battles: with all the insane bullshit going on, naming of some body of water should be far down anyone's priority list

Get ready for some other bootlicking from Google, then Trump will write an executive order to drop the antitrust cases against Google.

Mexico is in central America, we live in north America and Brazil is in South America. America refers to our entire continent not the US. Why do you people not get this. Trump is so fucking dumb (and apparently most you too) that he tried to spite Mexico and renamed it to ALL OF US. FFS what are all of you? Zoomers or are Millenails all this uneducated too?

I wonder if they called it gulf if mexoamerica if it would be a funny compromise.

Funds must be allocated. That said, they want to get rid of the National Weather Service part of the NOAA and force everyone to use shitty Accuweather, so it will be a lot cheaper.

That's fair. For me none of the alternatives offer enough features to replace it. I often use it to highlight POIs of a type and all the different map views are great.

Information on Google maps is different based on location. Most prominent examples are disputed borders like in Kashmir which are differently drawn in India and Pakistan.

Switched to Apple Maps a few months ago, just one more reason to never switch back.

Wave can stay dead though. I’m okay with that.

Open Street Maps is a thing. Use it.
It's also publicly editable and used to generate a bunch of other maps - even for government use. It would be a damned shame if people created burner accounts and started renaming things owned by Trump and Musk...
