You can leave a google review for 'Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)'. Lets review bomb it.
Apple at least aren't showing me that dumb shit in Australia that Google is doing with parentheses:
Rolling out world wide. I moved to organic maps.
Source? Only reason I'm using Apple Maps in the first place is because I need public transport directions and it's not Google Maps. Organic Maps doesn't have them, and I don't want to use the app my state gov puts out because the way it calculates connections is garbage. Most international PT-only apps don't have my city even though it's the biggest in Australia.
Don't forget Microsoft with Bing maps. At least Google made this just for US users, they made it for everyone.
They aren’t afraid of negative attention, at least it’s some attention and people will know they have maps too
From Thailand and Singapore it shows as “Gulf of America (Gulf of Mexico)”
UK here. It's the reverse for me.
Same for France
Yes, I'm checking now and that's true, old info from me, yesterday from Spain was still Gulf of Mexico, now Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)... Well, tomorrow it will probably be Gulf of America for everyone, they are doing this progressively.
maps.me still keeping it so far, from OSM.
Just because you know cartography is lying, doesn't mean that you have to do it on purpose
This is a very weird visual
