After announcing it would be renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, Google has officially changed on its Maps application.

    Had to check.

    Slowly working towards a viable OpenStreetMap in my area. If you want to help, you can make a free account and begin editing: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/new

    You can also contribute on mobile by using Street Complete or any number of great mobile apps that allow limited editing and full map features like Organic Maps

    Edit: I didn’t know about Vespucci, which is a full-featured OSM editor for Android. Thanks, @onyxjet@lemmy.world

    Also be sure to check out !open_street_maps@lemmy.world

      Thanks for providing that link. I knew about OSM, but didn’t fully grasp that (duh) it’s open which means I can help with the data. Time to get busy! :)

      Vespucci is also full editor for android.

      There is also Go Map! A primary editor for IOS.

      Every door is a mobile editor that allows you to add new things and edit existing ones.

      ID is the main OpenStreetMap website editor.

      Rapid, essentially just ID but with a special edition of automatic building suggestions and such or what they call mapwithai.

      JOSM a full on editor for desktop, does everything ID or Rapid can do and a whole lot more. Its more of an advanced editor.
