Pathetic. Hopefully the rest of the world doesn't follow suit. Renaming it just for one of Trump's ego trips is not a good reason.

Why is anyone using twitter anyway? Bring back blog post press releases
Any chance there's a place we could all start submitting bug reports about the incorrectly named body of water? Once the change goes into effect we should post that everywhere and see if we can swamp Google.
They’ll regex those bug reports so fast it won’t even matter.
Why not change it back to “Freedom Fries” while you’re doing dumb shit? Gives us something to laugh about for the next 20 years at least.
Pussies
Fuck off google🖕🏼x2

Organic Maps is a free Android & iOS offline maps app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists. It uses crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data and is developed with love by the community. No ads, no tracking, no data collection, no crapware.
https://f-droid.org/packages/net.osmand.plus/ or https://github.com/osmandapp/Osmand
This project aims at providing comfortable map viewing and navigation (routing) application for mobile devices. Particular stress lies with complete offline features (via pre-loaded offline map data) or economic internet usage.

Alpi Maps is a map application to help you prepare and enjoy your hike! Get all the info you need before you go, then enjoy all the data offline during your hike.
I used Organic Maps on my CalyxOS phone a few days ago to navigate a 200 mile car drive home to the Scottish Highlands, and it worked flawlessly. The first 50 miles were through parts of Fife that I was not familiar with. I left it on for the rest of the journey just to track my progress and test it out. Very impressed with it. Maps are detailed and downloaded to the device for offline use. I've finally managed to deGoogle my life completely and will never use another Google product or service again.

I love the app MagicEarth for turn by turn navigation GPS. It uses OSM!
"Contains no known trackers" according to AuroraStore + free and no adds

It's only the Gulf of America in the United States lol
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.
Yeah. "Both Names" for other countries is a bit lame but better than just Gulf of America everywhere.
The Denali / McKinley thing is pretty awful though. I hadn't realised Trump had changed that too.
The United States of Northern Mexico?
Here google. It's correct here. Nothing to change.
E: i love the DV, denying geography lol
Why not get right down to it and call it exactly what they want it for?
Gulf of Oil...
