For anyone wondering "where do they get their money?"
It's from businesses who buy their SDK. They (allegedly) don't sell any of your data
Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.
Bottom of their faq
I haven't been able to test it out yet, but it seems pretty decent

Does Google maps allow that? Does any map program?

You know what, sure whatever. It burns their political capital and it doesn't actively oppress people

What the hell. No one’s going to call it the Gulf of America, except for the magas, the rapist and his useless offspring.
This is 4 years of drivel and it’ll always be knows as the Gulf of Mexico.
The man in charge is the biggest moron to ever be given power to lead.
Electing a rapist seems like a very American thing to do, who also married an immigrant, which is very odd since he’s doing his best to stop immigration.
Something something racist rapist hypocrite.

Oh so it'll become a shibboleth like how the capital of Ohio is pronounced and spelled "central ohio" if you're at the rare intersection of cool and ohioan

I don't recommend Google Maps anymore. It's a really shitty map. I've been reporting bugs for ages and they never fix them. Also the GPS is really terrible, it sets the road full of constant turns and forces you to drive on small narrow internal roads instead of normal open roads. The localisation option sucks too, it keeps showing me that I'm somewhere else and my position is always a few metres off and it's so delayed that you don't know if you've made a good turn or not unless you wait like half a minute. Also the glitches in the map, missing locations, blurry photos, random photos swapped around and extreme inconsistencies. It's crazy that this shit is still being used. I bought a dedicated GPS for a car and in my phone and PC, I use OpenStreetMaps or its forks.

Magic Earth is proprietary, though. You can believe their privacy policy, but I have trouble believing any privacy policy if I can't see the source code.

International bodies of water tend to be named by... International governing bodies.
That said, Google's choices about which country to rely on has... Some real-world ramifications. Like the very... shall we say, "open to interpretation" border between India and Pakistan. Or, China and India's border.

I'm maining privateemail through namecheap (custom domain) and I've got no notes.
Still got an ancient gmail for legacy stuff, but will definitely be moving stuff off of that now.
I guess there's no way to forward gmail emails after I delete the account?
