Also, stop using this crap. Use openstreetmap.org.
And don’t give me “oooooh but gmaps is better” sniveling - suck it up and do the right thing!

1024_Kibibytes ( @1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee ) English2•2 months agoSame thing for me. If I zoom in, it says “Golfo de América”. If I zoom out, I see “Golfo de México (Golfo de América)”. My settings for Google are in Spanish, so I was wondering what they would do.

You’d think that’s less of a problem, but it does refute the theory someone has above that it’s some downstream source data pull rather than a bootlicking thing.
Incidentally, it is time to take as much of your software and workflow away from US companies as you can if you’re not an American. Self hosting is best, local is second best, but non-US is key and you’re not going to get there fully right away, so get started when you can.
dirtycrow ( @dirtycrow@programming.dev ) English3•2 months agoI feel like Google’s CEO has plausible deniability here since they are using GNIS records. That’s ignoring how cozy the corporation and President are, in order to relax Big Tech regulations. Trump is just getting his way unfortunately ever since he butchered most of the government, so I guess we have his lackey Doug Burgum to thank for swinging the axe here.
