MapQuest Lets You Name The Gulf of Mexico Whatever You Want
-
At this point I think that’s probably a feature
-
MapQuest is from the 1990s.

But don't tell the Great Tricktator, or you goto jail immediately.

They have an app

Fuckin gottem.

The real gulf of America is the gulf that Trump has ripped open between the US and its allies

Writing the directions down on a paper is still more convenient than taking out and unlocking ypur phone if a) you're on a bike; b) if it is cold out and you don't want to take off your gloves.

I know. It hasn't changed

Looks like his distraction is pretty effective.
-
Right? It’s a darn fine marketing effort.

That feature actually could be just a map overlay. Who did play with oruxmaps or qgis knows what it is...

Here Maps kept it as the Gulf of Mexico
-
Not sure this falls flat or worse. It’s the Gulf of Mexico. That’s it. Nothing else. Not even a conversation. “It is what it is”
-
You might want to do that anyway. You know, in case everything does get shut down. I know people who can’t navigate their own city without GPS for the life of them.

I think it's just making the point that anyone can name anything whatever they want, but it doesn't change what people call it. Obviously Trump thinks he's God so he probably actually thinks something has happened as a result of his declaration.
The stupid thing is every country and every language has always had different words for the same places.
The French don't call it France.
