Yep, on my way but thanks for the helpful guide. Just with I didn’t have an Android phone at this point…
Android phones are still better than Apple phones, but you need to use a non-Google Android.
My Apple maps still says Lake Ontario. Hmmm.
::checks other maps services::
Yee haa! Mapquest for the win! I just got a new default map site.
OSM added a “official_name:en-US” field to hold “Golf of America” but the wiki says “In practice, renderers are unlikely to label the Gulf based on
official_name:en-US=*”. OSM works offline, doesn’t sell your data, and doesn’t show ads. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Mexico#Name Lake Ontario is still labeled “Lake Ontario.”Google is pretending like they are just being “neutral” on this, but somehow they are showing two names to other countries for the Gulf of Mexico and plan to do the same here.
That requires some action and that action took a choice. If they are gaslighting us into thinking they are not being political here, they are.
Keeping the name most people will use for it may require a small step to put in an override if they are just ingesting US names for US customers, but still, making that decision and taking that small step is far more neutral in these cases.
They are kowtowing, because they think they’ll make more money kissing Trump’s ass than doing what their users want.
Well, MapQuest became the #1 navigation app.
There are better articles, websites, guides etc. like this that aren’t made by a company who obviously choose their own services as the best option. I have some saved on my computer but it’s off and I’m in bed so I’ll add those tomorrow.
I just wish it could sync contacts to the local address book. It is such a stupid hurdle to throw in front of people trying to de Google …
Ask a robot to do this for you. It’ll be done in a minute or two?
But it keeps nothing in sync. You’ll spend your time exporting/importing vcards.
It just feels like a very basic feature missing. There’s an app on fdroid that can do it apparently ( 2way sync), but I am hesitant to log into any app with my credentials that isn’t tied to the provider.
