Everyone report an error every day.

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.

This is so pathetic by Google.

This is super dumb.

How are these morons so offended about the name of a body of water?

Their fragile ego is so completely shattered because Mexico "has a Gulf" and they "don't"? Little men with too much power.

Another day another issue that completely doesn't matter at all to distract from the fact that our politicians are incapable of actually fixing any of our problems.

They should change it to Gulf of $30 Eggs.

Jesus fucking christ

Keep reporting it as a bug.

Cowards and sycophants. But this is a problem I, as a Chicagoan, am already familiar with. You see we have this building called the Willis Tower. But everyone here knows that Willis is correctly spelled "Sears."

So you see, the correct spelling of the America in the context of the Gulf is "Mexico."

Can't imagine wanting to work for big tech these days lol. These companies had insane reputation in the 2010s. People thought working for Google was like working in willy wonka's chocolate factory. They really squandered their brand.

Vote to change it to Gulf of Luigi

Time to ditch Maps then.

Bruh, central and south America is still America. Dumbass trump think America refers to only the US lmao

I'm old fashioned. It's still the Gulf of Mexico and Pluto is still a planet.

What the hell. No one’s going to call it the Gulf of America, except for the magas, the rapist and his useless offspring.

This is 4 years of drivel and it’ll always be knows as the Gulf of Mexico.

The man in charge is the biggest moron to ever be given power to lead.

Electing a rapist seems like a very American thing to do, who also married an immigrant, which is very odd since he’s doing his best to stop immigration.

Something something racist rapist hypocrite.

Yeah, I've been meaning to switch to OpenStreetMaps for a while now and this was the impetus to drop what I was doing and download it immediately. Fuck Google. So sick of this mask off tech plutocracy bullshit.

Edit: I've tried it a few times yesterday and today, and I like it. Works with Android Auto in my car, guidance voice isn't annoying, directions are accurate. Only complaint is I'm not sure how to search up a business and have the app map me to the nearest location. I need to dig deeper and figure out if I just haven't found it yet.

I would 100% drop GMaps if I could hit the directions button on a Google search and have it bring up OSM instead. Google Maps has been bugged for me for years and the maps app never gets the address from a browser search. I have to search for the business or address in the maps app itself for it to work.

Why not get right down to it and call it exactly what they want it for?

Gulf of Oil...

well google always displays the locally official names and borders. so just business as usual.

but why does the president of the usa get to decide what places are called? isn't there a cartography department or something?

I've been sitting on moving off Gmail. Not anymore.

This idea originated as a Stephen Colbert joke in 2010. As always I'm sure some will call this some sort of self-aware troll by Trump, but what are the odds of that.

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.

They can name it how they want. They could name it piss puddle and the rest of the world wouldn't care, it'll still be Gulf of Mexico.

I propose eveyone rename it to "Gulf of low egg prices"

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.

i think mexico should name gulf of california to gulf of mexico

Where did this gulf of America thing come from anyway. It just seems so left field. Was it a hot topic among the MAGA or something?

It just seems like he woke up one day and had an idea 💡

This should be only for users in that shithole.

Fuck off google🖕🏼x2
