If you see the Gulf of Mexico pop up on street map your car may be floating.
Anything that includes public transit routing? It doesn’t look like OSM or MapQuest include public transit, and I’m not seeing an option to use Apple Maps via the web browser on Android.
For destinations I go to regularly, I can easily pull up schedules without Google maps, but if I’m going somewhere new, Google maps greatly simplifies the process of figuring out which route(s) to take.
You might need to add it to osm
Hmm. I did find it in the OsmAnd app, but I’m very confused. I think it’s just showing me trip durations, not actual schedules, and definitely not live bus data, nor any option to find routes based on a specific departure or arrival time. For the route I tested, it gave me 4 different options, all of which list a departure time of 0:00, even though it’s early afternoon here.
Digging around the other apps I use, it looks like the live transit data that I’m used to is free to access. Is there something I need to do to get that linked up?
Organic maps does
I see the option for transit directions in the app, but I’ve tried a few different destinations that I’ve regularly visited via bus, and it only gave walking directions for all of them. I also tried the airport, which I usually get to via rail, and it says that subway navigation isn’t available in my region yet.
No, Organic Maps works similarly to Google Maps and it’s all on your device and foss
mapbox?
Hasn’t OSM also said that they will change it once it’s properly completed?

Well that’s OK. It’s not uncommon for different countries to name bits of land and water differently from everyone else. Take Germany for example. The locals call it Deutschland. The French call it Allemagne. Or there are the Falklands, known by the argybargies as Las Malvinas. If Donny McFart in North Mexico wants to call that bit of water the Freedom Gulf or whatever then good for him! As long as he realises it works both ways.
Except no one in the US except for McTrumpy calls it the Gulf of America
Argybargies? Is that a new racial slur i haven’t heard of?
As slurs go it’s pretty low tier. A bit like the French calling the English “rosbifs”, if they even still do that.
Don’t forget the other random renaming he did, Denali. It’ll always be Denali to myself and the climbing community.
- It sounds snappier than McKinley
- It actually had that name before. It wasn’t just pulled out of thin air to be PC.
- McKinley had nothing to do with the area, he was gov of Ohio. He never even visited it, it was just named after him to curry favor with him.
Switch to the open source and private Organic Maps folks!
not really an option for many ppl with useful features missing like satellite image, street view, public transport
I can’t believe I still have it but I’m going to start actively changing emails on all my old accounts on services I had registered with gmail before I switched.
You can change the maps to suck up to the Orange Idiot, but you can’t make people actually call it that.

Freedom gulf
I’m amazed people care the slightest about this…different countries call the same places different things, it’s exceedingly normal and nothing out of the ordinary.
I care because it’s dumb and petty, and I refuse to let dumb petty things get an easy pass.
How’s that boot taste google
Google maps classifies USA as sensitive country
Should be called “snowflake” country
When they do it, We need to encourage people to report it as incorrect information. If everyone does it then it may be enough for show we don’t want this and don’t want to be seen as the fools the White House actually is.
Guess they’ll do anything to appease the new self appointed co-dictators of North America…
This has “freedom fries” energy all over it.
Gulf of Performative Nonsense
Gulf of Pretention
