    Original title: “How Google Maps Plans to Handle the ‘Gulf of America’”

    HN’s clickbait algorithm mangled this, but in this case, I think the original title is more accurate.

    But will Google follow suit when the Atlantic is renamed Lake Bedminster, and Europe renamed Putainia.?

    Not to mention Eurasia, Eastasia and Oceania.

    And Mars? You already know that one.

    Maybe Vance will rename My McKinley for him after an anarchist shoots him. He should steer clear of Buffalo I guess.
