Some Canadian websites, including for the federal government, displayed maps with Lake Ontario renamed as Lake America on Sunday, a day after Google Maps announced the change to align with an executive order by U.S. President Donald Trump.

This is why we need to use more open source stuff not tied to a closed US company like; Apple, Google, Microslop, Twitter, Meta, and whatever else.

It would be nice if comaps had a web version like google maps. The osm site doesn't show a lot of stuff by default, like info from businesses

    That's true, I wonder how difficult it would be. There are desktop apps for MacOS and Linux, but it's more friction to force people to download something

    Startpage has maps, but they're pretty bad. Duckduckgo uses Apple Maps, which are alright. I'd love to have CoMaps on there
