Apple Maps now shows the Gulf of America
The body of water formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico.
Anybody else reminded of Freedom Fries?
This was actually done 2 weeks ago but was only recently discovered because no one uses apple maps
The 3D vector mapping in NYC is legit.
From a fully-updated Japanese iPhone as of right now:
If you're in Japan, it'll show the regular name. The change is only in America.
Can we change it to “In-sea-curity”?
Or just “The Sea of Insecurity”?
Or maybe “Man Baby Bay”
Or “Weak Little Pussy removed President Tiny Hands Dumb Dumb Deep Water Douche Lagoon”
Or, like, “The Gulf of Mexico”…
As viewed from USA only ... Gulf of Mexico's view is unchanged for the rest.
I’ve seen UK folks with screen shots of “The Gulf of Mexico (The Gulf of America)”
That Google Maps. Apple maps has not done that. Yet anyway.
Switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps a couple months ago, and I'd like to Switch to an alternative that doesn't implement fascist place names, but navigation with toll road avoidance unfortunately doesn't seem to be a common feature 😕
Organic Maps is pretty neat
Any alternative will just be bought up anyway since America decided monopolies are no longer a bad thing.
I don't see that Apple has a choice here if they want to keep doing business in the U.S.
Trump and Musk have made it pretty clear that you either give in to their petty demands or there will be trouble.
And any company that defies the administration is going to learn really quickly why they shouldn't.
Part of their whole plan has been to upend the whole corporatist idea that both parties have embraced and turn it into "we are pro-corporate, but only for the right corporate. You scratch our back, we'll scratch yours."
