    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.

      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.

          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?

          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.

    Wow. I did not expect to see the current amount of boot licking by big tech and practically all of the tech-bros. This can’t be good. They certainly expect to get something in return from the current administration. Likely some dystopian end-stage capitalism?!

        I don’t think it’s quite end stage yet. There is still some room left to become worse. Some freedoms left and some money in the pockets of regular people.

          This is mid stage at best. We could be ultra taxed down to pennies as a civilization, and I don’t fully mean taxes just cost of living/food, cost of goods, medical, etc. Living like the movie Elysium.

    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…

    No, see y’all’ve got it backwards. It’s the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of the United States of America. He’s making it more inclusive!
