I wonder how location dependent it is?

Google goes full mask off. What a terrible look. This is it, this is what I needed to see to make the final push to move away from Google. My next phone will probably be an iPhone, and I'm not excited about it. I've almost completely degoogled my android device, I'm testing immich right now and the only things left that I rely on are maps and YouTube. I also buy a lot of my ebooks and comics from Google, but never again. There's no way I'm buying a phone that's supported by Google after this change. There's no way I'm spending any amount of money on Google play at this point, or any other Google owned platform. Zero. And it really sucks, because android is the closest thing we have to an open phone platform. Maybe someday a GNU/Linux phone will actually be viable, but today it isn't and that only leaves me running to Apple as a savior. It's too bad that Google can't compete on a technology level, instead of gargling Trump's balls.

Surely it’s only “Gulf of America” from the southern tip of Florida across to the Mexican border?

HERE WeGo still has Gulf of Mexico. Use HERE WeGo instead of Google shit.

Open Steet Maps also shows Gulf of Mexico. Most maps seem to get their data either from Osm, Bing or Google.

this is only effective in the US btw, this doesn't apply outside of the US, why google has done this? Probably the appease trump, and honestly, anything that keeps trump busy that isn't overthrowing the US government is good in my books.

I've reported an issue. Enough people do it they might do something.
