- nickthegreek 2y agoPersonally, I’ve been using Apple Maps for over 8 years without issue. I just checked the gulf, it’s of mexico and I am in the US.

- nickthegreek 2y agoWell they haven't. Neither has MapQuest, and weirdly Waze..

- benatkin 2y agoI downgraded my apps for domains plan. I’m not sure it was inevitable, and even so, Google seemed to be in a rush to do it.
- gritspartan 2y agoTo be fair to Google, they are simply following a policy they've had since 2008. There is a similar issue with the Sea of Japan/East Sea.
