Now US can start claiming islands just like China does with the South Sea

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

Gulf of Oil...

Like a little bitches they are...

I don't recommend Google Maps anymore. It's a really shitty map. I've been reporting bugs for ages and they never fix them. Also the GPS is really terrible, it sets the road full of constant turns and forces you to drive on small narrow internal roads instead of normal open roads. The localisation option sucks too, it keeps showing me that I'm somewhere else and my position is always a few metres off and it's so delayed that you don't know if you've made a good turn or not unless you wait like half a minute. Also the glitches in the map, missing locations, blurry photos, random photos swapped around and extreme inconsistencies. It's crazy that this shit is still being used. I bought a dedicated GPS for a car and in my phone and PC, I use OpenStreetMaps or its forks.

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.

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.

If you are close enough to it for the name to have any relevant reference, you're just guna say Gulf anyway.

Fuck off google🖕🏼x2

Here google. It's correct here. Nothing to change.

E: i love the DV, denying geography lol

Could someone explain to me why are people irritated by this? I'm a foreigner.

I am so glad that I switched our app over to OSM last year.

So many important issues affecting America right now ..... and the country and its government is fixated and pouring so much energy, manpower, knowledge, education, experience and capability into .... renaming something on a map that no really gives a shit about.
