But why? Does anyone know an instance where local Google Maps version doesn’t follow local naming? Why would Google change it in Mexican version of Maps? Is Mexican president a Lemmy user?
[edit]
Oh no, I just realised Americans think there’s one version of Google maps and that we’re all using theirs. Didn’t think there’d be so many on Lemmy.
Google still puts my map in miles and gives gas prices in gallons… I am in Canada where we use neither.
Americans have really exposed just how sheltered and self absorbed they are.
