Same story as with the gulf, they show the bullshit only to Americans.

    More proof Alphabet, Google, and its employees support pedophilia, are fascists, and deserve to answer for their crimes.

    Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings In the rooms of her ice-water mansion. Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams, the islands and bays are for sportsmen. And farther below Lake Ontario (America) Takes in what Lake Erie can send her.

    It shows "Lake Ontario" here in the UK, but "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" as well. Not sure why there is a difference- certainly I've never heard anyone use the phrase in brackets in conversation.

    Which is the only reasonable way. A map has to be useful, it’s not their fault a government has changed things.

    Their government didnt change things. They chucked a hissy fit and made unfounded demands, Google decided to appease the crybabies rather than having an ounce of integrity.

    On a practical level, if a government decides to refer to it by whatever name in advisory notices and alerts, it’s useful to have the map reconcile with that name

    They just do whatever local law tells them to. I bet it shows a different name in non-Trumponia regions.
