lol yeah maybe we should be more specific when we talk about Europe

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Magic Earth is also pretty good for cycling, though I will be checking out GeoVelo

Idk if it's European, but there's also Sygic Maps

Wait so it also shows that in europe?

~~No, it shows Gulf of Mexico. The commenter just wanted to give some good alternatives that people could use~~

Oh ok good. Yeah, I'm in the USA and I am trying to add more content as fast as I can into open maps so that these alternatives could be more useful.

Sorry, I misread your question. Yes, google maps shows "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)" in Europe as well :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Well at least the america part is between parenthesis, but fuck Google, Apple, and Microsoft for bowing to this orange turd.
