Not sure this falls flat or worse. It’s the Gulf of Mexico. That’s it. Nothing else. Not even a conversation. “It is what it is”
Here Maps kept it as the Gulf of Mexico
That feature actually could be just a map overlay. Who did play with oruxmaps or qgis knows what it is…
Looks like his distraction is pretty effective.
The real gulf of America is the gulf that Trump has ripped open between the US and its allies
Fuckin gottem.
TIL MapQuest is still around.
Right? It’s a darn fine marketing effort.
Kind of makes me want to go back to printing 6 page instructions to destinations that I hold in my right hand and read whilst driving with my left hand.
You might want to do that anyway. You know, in case everything does get shut down. I know people who can’t navigate their own city without GPS for the life of them.
Writing the directions down on a paper is still more convenient than taking out and unlocking ypur phone if a) you’re on a bike; b) if it is cold out and you don’t want to take off your gloves.
I kind of did this with sticky notes on the dash during my last road trip. I was travelling through an area I knew would have poor reception at the time, so I made a bullet point list of the main road changes.
It was kind of nice not having to check a screen for directions.
I used their mapping and geocoding APIs for years, back when I was negotiating contracts. They’re good (at least in N. America) and 1/5th the price of google.
They have an app

Thank you for the link, I’m definitely sharing this with my friends
I’m still sold on Gulf Dukat.
Dukat would be proud that the humans in an alternate timeline, where he’s fictional, went and named something after him for all his great deeds.
And then he’d find out why we’re really naming it after him and he’d try every underhanded trick in the book and a handful of new ones in order to find a way into our universe to show us how great he really is.

Gulfy McGulfface? Are we still doing that meme?
I mean we’re making it with MapQuest, if there was ever a time for necromemecy it’s now.

Based MapQuest.
It’s really too bad that Mapquest still looks like it’s from the 90s
At this point I think that’s probably a feature
This is the type of content I need in my life at the moment.
