I don't really see how it's bad faith. It's treated like a difference of language. Google is treating Americans as if they speak a different language than everyone else in the world showing them the name of the place in their language.

They are correctly showing the name lake Ontario to almost everyone else in the world, so I would say that they are doing the right thing.

Nope. Shows me Lake America and I'm in Canada.

I still see Lake Ontario in Canada, both while logged in and in private tab.

Cached Map? Offline Download?

Edit. It depends how I search it in google. If I type Lake Ontario and hit search, I get Lake America.

If I type Lake Ontario and select the suggested Lake in the list, It shows as Lake Ontario.

I was checking from the browser so there isn't any downloaded maps. Using a private window should handle clearing the cache. I tried in a different browser I don't use either and still seeing Ontario.

It is showing Ontario for me in the app as well still but I'm logged in there and I do have saved maps.

Considering the "Gulf of America" bullshit, this being the straw would be wild.

Google used to not be evil. Then they became evil. Now they are just a little bitch with Trump's dick in their mouth.

I Adblock YouTube and have been Google free for years, mostly.

Just checked Apple Maps and it’s Lake Ontario still.

Fuck Google. Fuck all the oligarchs. And fuck the Greedy. Old. Pedophiles.

Well good, about time they put warnings on maps. Above is the lake, below is america. You have been warned.

Just tried out Here We Go and it's looking really nice. Try it out! Not available for Android in the car, though, which is a bummer.

I haven't tried it yet in the car but they do have an Android Auto setting. No possibility to put it in the Auto launcher though, weird.

BUT, Wikipedia says you should use the beta version: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Here_WeGo#CarPlay_and_Android_Auto

Tried it yesterday and noticed a couple of issues.

The console and dash display got locked to 100% brightness until it went into dark mode (tunnel/evening light).
The map didn't get displayed on the car's second display on the driver's hud/dash; only the directions showed there.

The map was also more sparse compared to Google's. For example, it didn't show the lanes for highway turn-offs and a few other things like voice guidance (which I don't use anyway), but that was the only one that I genuinely missed.

Still, it was very usable and I liked it overall.

Thanks for the review. With Here Wego and MapQuest, I'm ready to uninstall Google Maps which was the last Google application on my phone.

Open street map shows it properly, and its a non-profit, open source project.

There are several navigation apps that use OSM data.
