Time to update your community on Open Street Map and start using Street Complete so people around you can switch to Open Street Map apps. All it takes is a couple active editors to make a town viable.

They've ramped it up in recent years, sure, but I think they been dormantly evil since they came on the scene and we just didn't realize it until the hooks were in deep.

Perfect strategy for this kinda thing, and now they can just be brazen about it. Kinda like a certain red party in a certain shithole country.

Just label the US as South/Lesser Canada.

The Gulf of Lesser Canada does have a certain ring to it...

Do you guys need any geologists? I’d love to get out of this country.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

We have quite a lot of geology.

Came here to talk about this as well.

They're done this globally apparently. They just got rid of the provincial park option and defaults all government operated nature reserves, of any government, as "state parks".

Seems very shortsighted and with a disregard for other countries. Extremely confusing move by google.

For me, using English (GB) as localization, they appear as national parks. Maybe it's the term they use for English (US) set phones πŸ€” Im located in Finland as well so.

Even the ones in US show up as national for me. Also checked the gulf of mexico, it's still that for me.

That would make sense if we used English (US), but we use English (CA). Just a brief check of the parks in my area shows all the national parks are labeled "National Park", the provincial parks are almost all "State Park[s]" with the occasional "Park", and the regional parks have no consistent or logical pattern but I counted at least 5 different park labels.
