      Bad faith from google.

      Argebtina and chile share a few lakes on the border. On their side they have a name, on our side it has another. Everybody is happy

        I don’t really see how it’s bad faith. It’s treated like a difference of language. Google is treating Americans as if they speak a different language than everyone else in the world showing them the name of the place in their language.

        They are correctly showing the name lake Ontario to almost everyone else in the world, so I would say that they are doing the right thing.

          Cached Map? Offline Download?

          Edit. It depends how I search it in google. If I type Lake Ontario and hit search, I get Lake America.

          If I type Lake Ontario and select the suggested Lake in the list, It shows as Lake Ontario.

            I was checking from the browser so there isn’t any downloaded maps. Using a private window should handle clearing the cache. I tried in a different browser I don’t use either and still seeing Ontario.

            It is showing Ontario for me in the app as well still but I’m logged in there and I do have saved maps.

    I Adblock YouTube and have been Google free for years, mostly.

    Just checked Apple Maps and it’s Lake Ontario still.

    Fuck Google. Fuck all the oligarchs. And fuck the Greedy. Old. Pedophiles.

    Google used to not be evil. Then they became evil. Now they are just a little removed with Trump’s dick in their mouth.

    Considering the “Gulf of America” bullshit, this being the straw would be wild.

    Well good, about time they put warnings on maps. Above is the lake, below is america. You have been warned.

    Open street map shows it properly, and its a non-profit, open source project.

    There are several navigation apps that use OSM data.
