Oui inacceptable ces deux entreprises sont au dessous de tout et prouve : leur irrespect pour la géographie, et leur asservissement inconditionnel à leur dictateur et au marché.... ce sont des techno-fasciste ! ...

Eh, non… they adapt to local markets …

[danadasgrau@mastodon.social]

@blogdiva @openstreetmap @CoMaps Mapquest still has the proper name as well

[chefx@defcon.social]

@blogdiva @openstreetmap @CoMaps Google just goes with whatever is easier for them. If they fear losing money over a name change, they'll adapt. But only for the affected market. Most other countries still have it with its real name

@stegwee @blogdiva @openstreetmap @CoMaps

same in the UK, both names are shown with the Trump name only in brackets, and Bing Maps (!) only shows "Gulf of Mexico"

[wtl@mastodon.social]

@blogdiva @openstreetmap @CoMaps @DemocracyMattersALot In Canada, both Apple Maps and Google Maps say Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America).

[xurxia@mastodon.xurxia.net]

@blogdiva @openstreetmap @CoMaps It must be for America only. In Spain, I see both names (the new one in parentheses).

@blogdiva @openstreetmap @CoMaps Goddamnit. I've been using bingmaps for decades, and I just noticed it's the same there. 🤬

@stegwee @blogdiva @openstreetmap @CoMaps

TomTom also just shows "Gulf of Mexico" (took a while to get my navi app to display the area, as you wouldn't normally try to drive there and the app isn't intended for marine navigation, at first it tried to send me to an Indian restaurant in West London )

[dnkboston@apobangpo.space]

@blogdiva I use @CoMaps as well. My husband does not, and lately, the navigation has been insane. I can only guess Google Maps is experiencing a serious case of artificial "intelligence" decay. @openstreetmap @CoMaps
