Stopped watching the Weather Channel on the boob tube when i saw they listed on their weather map that the Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America. Guessing that soon they'll be saying that global warming is a Chinese hoax too. How sad and pathetic they've become.

Google has ALL of our information, and they're cozying up to a fascist dictator. This is beyond enshittification.

Well, Google still has some value…

I haven't used google maps in a very long time I found MapQuest to be more accurate. I wish they would go back to allowing you to adjust the route manually though. Unfortunately I can't get google off of my tablet and phone because it's part of the system. 🤬🤬🤬🤬 Can we get Canada to rename the U.S. to Idiots-R-U.S. and make google change the name on their app? (Asking as a U.S. citizen.)

Well when I look up mar lardo it says Pedo Palace. I guess because I named it that.

First time I've heard anything good about mapquest. Pity, it has gotten me good and lost a couple of times.

The detail that got me was Google changing the label before the official base map did. That makes the “we just follow government sources” line sound pretty weak. A map app is supposed to help people trust what they’re seeing, not bend early because a politician wants a vanity project. I had not thought about MapQuest in years, but “keep the names people already know” is actually a pretty sane standard for navigation.

One thing Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg all have in common is this: they look totally ridiculous and stupid with their pants around their ankles, their underwear around their knees, bending over hoping that Trump will put his mushroom inside their puckered assholes, as each of them whines, "Please, Daddy, fuck me. Please??????"

Little note about Rand McNally; their road atlas also renames the Gulf of Mexico for the whims of America's Pilonidal Cyst.

Also wow, Little Marco is such a piece of shit that every time he enters a bathroom he's immediately attacked by plungers. But don't you worry; this stupid quisling will have both a face-eating leopard and a bus undercarriage provided just for him once he ceases to be useful to APC.

Oh fuck no. Apple did it today. Can I delete that app?

I'm sure we're all gonna be shocked when I share that my Aussie Google Maps still says Lake Ontario. Regardless I'm switching to MapQuest

boo radley's avatar

I can't switch as MQ isn't available in Australia. but I reported the name wrong to Google- you can too if you go to Google.com, search the lake, and use the three dots to "Suggest an edit" (sometimes you can just click "Suggest an edit" directly.) Choose the name to edit and then tell them what it should be and why.

I’ve used nothing Google since that monstrosity chrome.

The sarcasm and genius-level snark in Evan’s writing is brilliant!

I'm sort of liking the idea of The African Ocean.

Apple has caved as of 2:45 pm Arizona time. “Lake Ontario” re-directs to “Lake America.”

You can “report an issue” in Apple Maps, and indicate that “name is wrong” and then enter “Lake Ontario.” If enough people do it, maybe it’ll get fixed.

Thanks. Does it matter that I called them fascist asslickers when I reported it?
