Get Organic Maps! It’s open source.
Look at every corporation bend the knee and enthusiastically embrace the fascist fusion of corporation and state.
I’ve been saying it for a decade but it keeps getting more obvious. The oligarchs and their corporations have been financing the fascists, and working towards the takeover, the entire goddamn time. I’m not talking about Elon and the tech bros. I’m talking about the global 0.0001%, the tens of thousands of oligarchs who own the lions share of every market. They’ve spent decades watching the CCP and Russian oligarchy with envy, yearning for the one party state capitalism and authoritarian control of the masses — just replacing communism™️ with freedom™️, religion™️ and nationalism™️ — free from the risk that democracy represents to their wealth and power.
Reported in Apple Maps as incorrect name. Won’t change anything, but it needed to be done.
Yeah me too. And a snide comment about supporting this douchebag. Made me feel better at least.
I wrote that “Gulf of America” is only used by an authoritarian regime and “not widely used.”
Please everyone do your part to report the incorrect information on google maps.
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app.
- Navigate to the gulf of Mexico
- Tap Menu (your profile pictude) “Send Feedback” (way at the bottom) or “Help & Feedback”. Send product feedback.
I couldn’t find this “Send feedback” section
Could be called help & feedback all the way at the bottom after selection of your profile picture/bubble in the top left.
Not sure why anyone is surprised…they’re all bootlicking corporations that don’t want the mob boss to fuck with their mergers and/or investigate them for their various crimes.
There have been a lot of sycophantic comments floating around here the past 24 hours about how Apple was better because they didn’t change it when Google did. Now the same folks are saying well Apple had no choice. So weird to lick the boots of trillion dollar companies.
Are you confident those are the same users?
Yes.
Because Apple people are in a cult.
Why they changed it, I can’t say.
(Donald just liked it better that way.)
Someone please make it stop?
It hasn’t even been an entire month yet…
Holy shit, I can’t believe this is true
I asked nicely? Please?

Well I can hear right now…
Stahp!
We have an asteroid incoming, so there’s hope…
Get your guillotine ready, because this is just starting.
Apple Maps in Canada still seems to be labelled The Gulf of Mexico for now
OsmAnd still holding out! I will never not call it the Gulf of Mexico.
I think the world should stop calling USians americans. America is a huge place spanning 2 continents encompassing so many different cultures uniquely American. I always thought it was weird calling Mexicans in the US, Mexican American. It’s like saying American American. Wouldn’t Mexicans in Mexico also be Mexican Americans? Just never felt right to me.
In Spanish you say “estadounidense” which is pretty much “unitedstatesian”.
That’s just a quirk of the English language. In Brazil we also call them “North Americans” instead of Americans, because Americans refer to all countries and peoples in the Americas.
That’s exactly how I think of it, Americans are the peoples of the America’s, North, Central and South. The people in the US should not hold a monopoly on that name as it somehow infers that the rest of the Americas are somehow less American and their just not. Maybe I’m looking at it wrong as i grew up in the US and we regularly refer to ourselves as american and the rest of the America’s just don’t do that because of our cultural and linguistic differences. Maybe more a remnant of imperialism than a quark of the english language.
From now on I will only refer to the USA as Estados Unidos de América.
Territorios Norteños de México.
Northern Mexico sounds better. That will make President Elon annoyed and the First Lady Tramp throw a tantrum.
In fact, Mexico could rename Texas to Nuevo Mexico just to show up in the parenthesis in the maps.
Estados Unidos de Norteamérica
Be carefull with that kind of talk, you’re likely to get deported. /s
End stage capitalism.
Organic Maps is great btw.
Y’know, this wouldn’t be so bad if it were renamed, “Gulf of the Americas” - eg, North America and South America. Added bonus: It’s not what Trump wanted so he’ll be pissed.
The reason why people are protesting the random changing of the name is the vast amount of work it generates. Websites, textbooks, maps, etc. will all have to be updated (and all this accumulates to a couple million dollars). By this logic, “Gulf of the Americas” is just as bad.
Only in the US, and for mapping companies that now have to treat the US as a “sensitive” country.
The rest of the world can continue to call it by its internationally recognised name.
I see your point about generating work, but name changes happen - German shepherd dogs becoming “Alsatians” during WW2, Mt. McKinley, a bunch of things in the US. But if it’s going to be changed, let’s not make it what Trump wants. He probably can’t even find it on a map anyway.
Fuck the C-suite execs🤘
I’m still going to call it the Gulf of Mexico🇲🇽Golfo de México
The next Democrat should run with the goal to rename it to Gulf of Donald’s Defeat. I would vote for them.
Assuming we don’t just get 8 years of President Vance…
Assuming you ever get to vote again. I thinks it’s extremely naive to believe Pedonald will ever leave office. Americans choose fascism, it’s not just a figure of speech.
I’m not American, I just live here… for now
