Yeah, the same Yandex Maps that stopped showing state borders recently, as they are now "more focused on natural objects", in their words.
- shakow 4y agoAt the same time, from a consumer perspective, this sacrifice to internal political pressures won't hamper your usage of the product. It's not like if international borders were the most important annotation on a map for everyday use. Edit: in fact, I just checked, yandex maps still shows state borders.
- orbital-decay 4y agoIt doesn't distinguish state and region borders anymore, like it did before. No borders on the overview map either. Just zoomed into a random place on the map, and I can tell where Turkey ends and Bulgaria begins only because the city names are different.
- shakow 4y agoAh ok, I see what you mean. I didn't see it as I was looking at France. It's weird, because at large scale there are no borders, at medium scale there is a weird mix of national and local borders (Western EU countries have state-level borders, RU/BY/UA/US/CN have local borders, ...). And to take your example, I have to zoom quite close for BG/TR to switch from state-wide to local borders.
