@mastodonmigration abandoned google maps (and from there also the whole google ecosystem) from the times of the "Gulf of America"
@mastodonmigration What are good alternatives to Google Maps on Android? Google Maps has had lots of issues lately including political stuff and constantly trying to send me through closed roads with alternative routes also trying to go through closed roads.
Also Google Maps constantly tries to get me to drive on bike and hiking paths and support hasnt done anything despite me making complaints.
@mastodonmigration From HOMES to SHAME
@mastodonmigration
Also where the hell is Toronto?
@mastodonmigration It does not bode well for humanity that all it took to go from "Don't be evil" to "We would like to be considered for the Evilest Company In The World Award" was a bunch of money.
@mastodonmigration interesting. I'm in the UK and it's still displaying as Ontario. Perhaps that one is purely for US consumption. Not that I'm weighing in on Grovel's side - very far from it.
@mastodonmigration i don't use Google maps for a reason
@mastodonmigration Why do you still use it???

@mastodonmigration Oh it must be true, now that a Google app says so. Just remember, it only says that within the U.S. or from a U.S. IP. the rest of us, well it's still the good old Lake Ontario, and if Google should try to change that, well Google gets the heave ho not the lake.
@mastodonmigration can't confirm a name change
@mastodonmigration Maybe only inside the US?
@mastodonmigration What messaging app has RCS?
Google makes it impossible to NOT use their goddamned app with that crap. Has someone found a workaround?
Indeed. Think they are the only Android messaging app with RCS.
@mastodonmigration Calling in from the U.S. Apple Maps hasn't caved, yet. Still Lake Ontario with none of this America shit. HOMES forever!
@mastodonmigration Wot Americans need to do is use a VPN so they can see the rest of the world's truth rather than just their own junta's propaganda.
😮 Yes!... google sucks!... big!... so why bother with them?! 🧐
@mastodonmigration In the UK it still shown as Lake Ontario in Google Maps
Google follows a predictable pattern whenever there is a legal conflict between maps: appease each country's legal claims when browsed from within each country, then show as a territory in dispute when browsed from anywhere else. They already do so with Crimea (Ukrainian for Ukraine, Russian for Russia, disputed elsewhere), the Gulf of Mexico/America (America from the US, Mexico from Mexico, both for the rest of the world), and now the Lake Ontario/America (same as above).
@mastodonmigration it was ‘t there Friday.
Fuckity
