MapQuest out here trying to meme their way back into relevance.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 weeks ago

Some people are dumping Google/Apple maps over it, may as well strike while the iron’s hot.

Their maps are much worse than OSM from what I see. It even has a road near my town where on OSM there's a foot path, that you probably couldn't get up even on a bicycle.

I don't understand how are they still in business, lol.

If OSM is bad you can change it, it’s just a tool that apparantly people haven’t been using close to you

Sorry, my comment is probably poorly written, as I still sometimes struggle with English. OSM is much more accurate in my area than MapQuest. That's what I wanted to say 🙂

I remember printing out MapQuest instructions on paper before trips. The first time I tried it and it just spit out exact directions it seemed almost magical.

I sold my '08 forrester in 2020, and when I was cleaning it out, I found a MapQuest printout from my parents house to my girlfriend's university.

~~I'm partial to the Gulf of Canada+US+Mexico. That way everyone gets a slice of the pie!~~

EDIT After a geography lesson, I have changed my mind. It should be the Gulf of Cuba+US+Mexico - thanks to everyone for the enlightenment!

The Gulf of C.U.M. for short.

I figured it'd just be the three Continental neighbors that get their names in the Gulf, otherwise you're leaving out all the other Caribbean neighbors. I guess it could be the Gulf of Jamaica, Mexico, US, Cuba, and Hispaniola.

The Gulf of J-MUCH is pretty good

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (5 children)

Mexico, the US , snd Cuba are the only countries on the Gulf. The islands you have mentioned are in the Caribbean, not the Gulf of Mexico.

Hey, that makes no sense, Canada doesn't have any coastline on the gulf!

It'll have to be Cuba, USA, Mexico

Donald Trump would probably request a bigger part of the name

Gulf Dukat is still the winner.

I liked the 'Gulf of Cardassia' , as I'm sure Trump would think it was about Asian Cars

President Trump, any statement about the Gulf of Ligma controversy?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 weeks ago

Damn just what I wanted

I'll add my 2-cents...

Gulf of Mexico

I don’t like change, much less egomaniacally-motivated ones.

Fuck it, gulf of New Zealand

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Gulf of Aoteroa. We can just claim it's the pre colonial name for the country without specifying that the country in questions is not one of the bordering ones.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

TIL ..Mapquest is still a thing. I’m gonna go print out directions to somewhere now…

"Gulf of Go Fuck Yourself" has a really unexpected poetry to it.
