Google says it will change Gulf of Mexico to 'Gulf of America' in Maps after government updates

Two reasons. Firstly, it's the principle of the thing - fuck Google for sucking up to Orange Shitler. Secondly, because somebody, somewhere in Google gets to deal with the endless reporting - even if all that reaction is is to have to write a script to auto-ignore that exact thing because it keeps popping up and there's nothing they can do to stop it.

America is not special, why would Google make an exception to their global policy?

They never wasted any time thinking about that, I fear

Google added that the name Gulf of Mexico will remain displayed for users in Mexico. Users in other countries will see both names, the company said.
That's a bit pathetic, isn't it? Everything daddy Trump says but please, no backlash.

Do you have any examples? It's impossible to find with a search with the recent news.

Are you referring to smoothness=bad or a narrow width? (I'm guessing you've been using StreetComplete to specify each.)

But to answer your question, absolutely. In fact, Waze's reporting is why Google bought out abs address those features to Google Maps.

BRouter and other routing engines can use attributes like surface and smoothness (and probably width) to calculate routes.

Possibly not "companion" per se, but Every Door is available for iOS and MapComplete can run in browser. Go Map!! can provide more detailed editing.

I never said it was exceptional, quite the opposite, I'm saying many countries have border disputes.
Interesting that you don't seem to care about my other examples, Gaza or Crimea. Got a soft spot for China?

What a weird response. I was addressing your comment. You didn’t mention Palestine and Crimea should be returned to the Crimean Tatars, both Slavic peoples are invaders.

That’s incredible.
I was quite conservative back in 2006, having been raised that way and still years away from my “enlightenment,” but I knew Colbert was satire. I still thought he was hilarious. I’ve always thought it’s important to be able to laugh at yourself.
Bush clearly felt the same, he was laughing right along with the roast, and had just finished doing a bit with a Bush impersonator that also roasted him.
But Trump is incapable of humility, and cannot stand the traditional presidential roast at the Press Correspondents’ Dinner.

Oh whoops, it must have been a different post in this thread that I mentioned Gaza.
you would rather play the Sinophobia and Yellow Perilism card and assume that I receive Xi bucks.
I've said nothing of the sort. That sounds like deflection.

Holy shit, I never found smoothness in the OSM editor. Does that actually effect routing priority?
That might be a game changer for making my local area much better on OSM.

Well as a planet pluto was mini mini. As a dwarf planet Pluto is one of the mightiest.
Also, if you call Pluto a planet then it's not fair to Eris and they've done nothing wrong

I cannot believe they bent on this at all. This isn't the will of the people or a problem we asked to solve it is the asinine rantings of a fucking baby. Why the fuck am I stuck in this timeline holy shit.

Google; we're still calling it Twitter you think we're gonna start calling it Gulf of America just because a doofus says so?
