Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of ~what used to be~ America)
Major map providers are rolling out the change of name gradually worldwide.
Openstreetmap still uses the correct name.
Organic map is good. But not yet as rich as Gmaps for developing small countries.
In Southern Chile, Organic Maps was leagues better than Google. GMaps was basically unusable. So yeah, it depends where you are (and how many Germans live/travel there 😁).
I live in Bangladesh 🇧🇩
