Oh wtf apple
Still says Gulf of Mexico to me. Is the change just for American users then?
I’m an American and it still says the proper name for me too.
For me it shows Golf of Mexico until I zoom in.
Are you shocked?
This really is the dumbest timeline. I can’t even make up satire shit that is more wild than what is now.
It’s like the shitpost version of blitzkrieg. Just overwhelming you with absolute diarrhea for the soul. And it’s working, even though we all know it’s happening.
You know, I had the shitty thought that at least back before chat communication, a robber baron (or it’s equal kind) had to actually hire thugs and henchmen to cause local chaos. Now it’s just some tech oligarch with some bots or a paid anonymous service causing disruption.
We really got fucked over on this one. I’m really not sure how America pulls itself out of this one with the state of education and political polarization. The federal part of our government definitely isn’t offering up any solutions.
You expressed it well. The best solution to our generational crisis is one that takes a generation or so to build-up (education) and that Republicans have already spent at least a generation already tearing down. We’re sitting ducks.
It’s like the dark ages
Just waiting for the TVA to prune us.
Well, yeah, because the United States Geographical Service is the source of truth for geographical names. No surprise Google and Apple follow it. There’s a little more breakdown than that, but that’s the gist of it.

The change is fucking stupid, you know it, I know it, we all know it. Save your fucking ire for all the real shit going down. In comparison, this doesn’t rate a single breath.
This is correct, given a new administration can simply change it back to keep it in line with the rest of the world. Won’t do us much good if there isn’t a next administration, though.
Reported an issue with the name. I know I’m shouting into the void on this but a small poke in the eye makes me feel better.

In my view, the only ones that really care are the people whose opinions don’t matter. The Gulf of Mexico will always be the Gulf of Mexico, regardless of what it may legally be called. Much the same way, in my view, X will always be Twitter, And Zuckerberg will always be POS.
Sears Tower
Staples Center
6th Avenue
Gulf of Mexico
I don’t give a shit who thinks it should change, I’ll use the original names forever
I think it’s just disgusting to see these companies I am dependent on bowing down to Trump’s bullshit.
The one group that does understand class solidarity are the wealthy. They’re not bowing to him because they’re all in sync.
Did my part
Same
Me too!
Tim Apple is a pussy bitch.
I wish this was the in top 10 reasons to be upset with the US right now.
Unlike Google they still have a “report issue” button active.
And I will continue to use it until they take it away
They don’t have to take it away, they can just set up the backend to blackhole those requests. So presence of the report issue facility does not imply they actually will ever even see the issue.
Reported it on Apple Maps as the wrong name. See how long they let reports come in.
It doesn’t for me that’s weird.
Edit: if you put a pin it does show America
I’m gonna put a pin in this, but I’ll come back to it later
Today I’ve officially made organic maps my primary. I’m gonna try to make it work.
Put all borders in Sharpie, you Apple cowards!!
Google Maps right now:
Well seeing as how Tim was right up there next to Sundar I’m not the least bit surprised.
