Please go to Apple Maps and harass them mecilessly

You should abandon Apple for Linux anyways. Apple doesn’t care about you, your privacy, or anything but them making more money, from you. This has been proven time and time again by evidence and whistleblowers.
Eh, out of all my own traffic I’ve MITM’d it’s mostly been third-party SDKs in apps doing creepy shit.
Down to hate on Gulf of America but when it comes to privacy it’s debatable.
I’m going to start calling it the United States of America of Mexico and sometimes Canada.
I use Naziland
I’m going to start using that one thank you.
The full name of Mexico is “Mexican United States”. Not joking.
United States of Amerixco
Mexico Jr.
Also, reporting that Trump Tower (either) should be renamed Mexico Tower feels pretty good.
alternate name for this article: “How to feel good about yourself while doing something that doesn’t help anything at all”
Don’t waste your time with stuff like this. Install an alternative app - OpenStreetMap is great and does have the correct name.
Google disabled reports and editing for it.
Still showing “Gulf of Mexico” on Apple Maps for me as of three seconds ago. I’m not in the US.
Google and Apple have different versions of maps depending on what your country recognizes.
For example, it will shows territories claimed by China as part of China for Chinese IP addresses, but may show them as independent territories for other countries that recognize them as such.Yeah - I was just pointing out to the USians that it’s only changing in their country. The rest of the world will keep the original name.
They don’t care.
I’m not denying that it’s the moral thing to do but fascists don’t give a shit about morals.
Get a dictionary and take a look at that word’s definition. “fascism” isn’t everything you dont agree with.
Fascism is America right now
Didn’t last long…
Yep.
I have tried on my phone and Mac, and I can’t submit anything. Even for other locations.
I’m sure they’re scrambling after this
Wrote App Store review, then deleted maps. Installed Organic Maps to replace.
This is the way.

I’ve been struggling without public transportation in Organic. It kinda works? Like it shows the path but doesn’t actually show the stops or station names
Unfortunately, the reality is that OSM (what Organic Maps gets its data from) is volunteer-run, and most likely nobody’s gotten to the bus stops near you yet. The GOOD news is that OSM is easily editable with something like Street Complete on Android, Open Stop on either iOS or Android, or from the comfort of your home on https://www.openstreetmap.org/ . There’s other apps too, like EveryDoor and GoMap!! for iOS and Mac. If there’s something missing, please feel free to add it, and get in touch with others in your area to help contribute! I’ve done my own share of updating outdated places, adding new locations, and annotating stuff like street lighting, street surfaces, and so on.

is there an easy way to export all my map markers from google to organic? I’ve saved a lot of locations over the years.
saved for future doing of things, thank you kind stranger
hmm I wondered this too. I have a ton of starred places as well as some custom lists. I wasn’t able to find anything to do it, but would also be interested in this.
A waste of our time for sure, but I did it as well.
What difference does this make? Some lower level employee will see this, roll his eyes, and then continue on with his day.
Beyond this, do you think Apple can actually take any other position than aligning with fascism? That was always going to happen. They literally can’t help but align with fascism- this is the culmination of late stage capitalism.
It’s like politely asking a dog not to salivate when it sees a steak in front of it.
You’re not gonna get anywhere and you’re just wasting time.
Also on a side note- you should switch to Linux because you should take charge of your own hardware and learn how it works before it’s taken away from you. You should do it for open source and for freedom. Not threaten to do something because a company is doing company things.
Not always, at least that I hope the classic answer is https://youtu.be/VtvjbmoDx-I

you push back every step of the way. that’s how you deal with it. Apple maps reporting getting shut down for this is a sign that someone at a higher level took notice and it will have feedback to even higher leadership. So yes, this is feedback, even if companies do company things, it’s also sending a signal that on the long run their company things might be better off aligning with the users. Is this gonna make any difference on its own? Nope, but a million of things like this may.
I think it helps mostly to produce this OP.
Its only for US users, no worry ;) hehe
Not for long. I’m literally on the other side of world.
Yes that is what I’m seeing. So it still says gulf of Mexico. Which is fine right?
The linux part is cringe. Just move if you don’t want to use apple’s os
