    1. Really? Odd choice. You’d think they’d just grey out the countries that they hadn’t mapped out yet.

      I love how they didn’t even bother with Alaska, but added the tiny Shetland Islands

    3. Wow throwback, remember when it was the Gulf of Mexico and google wasn’t bending the knee to the government?

    4. If Apple could turn back time and realize how big of a juggernaut Google Maps was going to be they’d still probably try to integrate Yelp into it 🙁

      Fun fact: While it was still being developed and before it was called “Google Earth” it was called “Project Keyhole” and you could access it through a bunch of shady links to show off satellite pictures of your neighborhood to friends.

    6. I’m confused, what’s the Gulf of Mexico? I’ve only ever heard of the Gulf of America.

      2+2=5, tariffs are great and Trump totally didn’t have sex with children.
