Apple Maps has also switched to the incorrect in every way "Gulf of America" so I've deleted that app, along with Google Maps, and have now installed MapQuest, regardless of any crazy routes on which it may take me. #iykyk

Sadly, #OsmAnd/ #OsmAnd+ is not a good replacement for #Google #Maps. Not for navigating at least.

I wish there was a way I could plan a route either on my desktop (#Linux) or web because the UI/ UX in OsmAnd+ is so fucking cluttered and "busy" that it's damn near next to impossible to actually do something.

I'm trying to plan a route from my current location to two destinations.

I'm starting at Point "A", my current location.

I put in the address for Point "C", my ultimate destination.

But then I realize I need to add a Point "B". But as soon as I go to add Point "B" it gets placed at the end.

And there's no way to move Point "B" to actually be my first stop.

Editing the locations doesn't work either because now I'm stuck with two identical destinations.

There needs to be separate modes for the app. Normal mode and Advance mode. Right now some settings are duplicated across multiple pages and multiple menus.

I HATE THIS FUCKING APP!

(But I hate Google Maps even more.)

Oh well.

Oh look, #MapQuest is still in business.....

#MapQuest really needs to add this to their marketing.

You can add 'layers' to their app. Gas/Lodging/Groceries/Hotels all well and good.

But they also have a Layer for ICE CREAM

"In a world where Apple Maps, Google Maps, and even Bing (yes, Bing) have bent the knee and rebranded the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, MapQuest has taken a different approach: pure, unfiltered chaos and hilarity. Introducing 'Name Your Own Gulf', the feature nobody asked for but everyone definitely needs."

I read about #MapQuest today and their new page https://gulfof.mapquest.com/ and how they were not renaming the "Gulf of Mexico". Bravo MapQuest !

I thought, maybe they have an app for the phone and i does directions. I downloaded it & I will be testing it over the next while. It isn't as full featured as other apps, but collectively we have to support the companies that are doing 'right' and I realize that the world is in for a lot of pain and I am signing up.

#MapQuest is doing eleventh-level #trolling and I am here for it. https://gulfof.mapquest.com/

Turns out that not only is #MapQuest still a thing, but they have a sense of humor....

/ Well, I made one too...

As a MapQuest alum from the mid aughts when we were dueling with Google to be the most popular maps app I’m pleased to see #MapQuest staging a comeback by being the sole maps-and-driving-directions app that isn’t caving to the embarrassing and deeply fascist “Gulf of America” edict.

Also cute that they created an app so anyone can pretend to be Glorious Emperor and rename the Gulf as they please. http://gulfof.mapquest.com/img/map?name=Anticipatory+Obedience

It’s a clever marketing move for #MapQuest to have a Gulf of N generator!

Sinister developments in the renaming kerfuffle.
